They are 4.11

That should make for a great combination, right?
Sure, 4:56 would be better, but with the 1st gear ratio, I would think that it won't be bad at all.
I have pulled a mixer truck across town with my shop truck, twice! It's an LY6/6L90 with 4:10s and stock size tires. It will be neat to hear your impression of it.

Oh yeah, it runs like a striped ape. He always wanted to go fast through the sand washes. Was never really built for crawling, but that’s OK.

 

[Babaganoosh]

I like going fast.

Got the gas filler hose replaced. Drove it to the gas station. Fuel gauge seems to work correctly. Damn this thing is rowdy, the brakes are not rated for this haha.

Ordered a JBFab twin stick shifter for the ol girl

 

[Fastereddie]

Very nice as usual JBFab stuff.

Out in this damn heat trying to get something done.

 

[Fastereddie]

Missed it by THAT much

 

[Fastereddie]

Looks like third time is the charm.

Clears the trans by about 3/8”

Wont work well in the stock opening.
Better on the driver side, but hit the t-case in the rearward position. Up towards the dash is the best chance.
T-case is back in with two nuts on it. I’m hot and frustrated so calling it for today.

It’s ripping out here in Phoenix. Moved parts inside to work on them.

I hear ya. My flip-flop foot was out in the direct sunlight while under the truck and it felt like someone lit it on fire.

Steel toe flops? Yup I was outside in board shorts and flops using a router.

They have a steel bottle opener, does that count?

 

[Babaganoosh]

Osha approved.

That’s how I keep the toe hair under control.
