Shafts from wood

Yep , no viberation . Hope this set will last another 7 years ! Who makes the cool billet triple stick knobs I have seen ? I drove for a couple miles befor I relized the front output stick needed to be in the middle for the front driveline to stop .

Ive had trouble getting that same gasket to seal on mine as well
Leaves a few spots after a couple days
I used grade 7 studs from Mcmaster Carr...125000psi strength I figured the less thread use in the housing the better
Loc tighted into the housing and some nyloc nuts on top of a flat washer

I got mine from WFO @ http://www.wfoconcepts.com/ but I think Kert / DIY4X @ http://diy4x.com/ is doing them too.

So I got some new led lights for christmas , 4 spot lights and a light bar and decided to mount the light bar on the visor . I haven't installed the spot lights on the bumper yet , Im thinking of building a new stronger front bumper . I gutted the interior and installed some new seats and am in the process of doing an interior cage .

Seats come out of the blue truck ?

cage fab

some pics of the start of the cage , I am building it out of 1 1/2 dom . I hope it turns out good , Its difficult to clear the hand crank for the windows and the e brake and not have a knee killer . yes kgb I did take the seats out of the blue truck , its on the back burner . I will probably weld the cage to the rock sliders that are bolted to the frame .

 

[kgblazerfive]

Wow a cage, sliders, doubler almost makes it a real wheeler

 

[kgblazerfive]

thats what matters Scott...I like mine through the dash, but my truck was a beater to begin with, not much to lose!

 

[chaoticK5]

painted cage

I got the cage finished and painted , what a pain to not over spray the rest of the truck .I had to rewire the oba and run new air lines as well , got burned installing the cage .I also installed a led light bar and six new led spot lights .

 

[chaoticK5]

I got my new seat belts in after the pic .up next is some hydro bump stops for the front end .
