Need to do a little wiring and going to regrease the bearing and other basic stuff, other than that it pulls great, pulled it probably 100 miles from where I picked up.

Pulls great, I think my cummins drive better with it behind than unloaded

Nice trailer!! I hope to have one like that someday.

Goal is to Ride Durhamtown in Ga the 25th of next month, we'll see. This would be on 30 spline outters and no beadlocks.

Basically swap trannies and finish driveline

If not it will be during spring break, which is march 15thish

Cleaned it up after I took this picture. Going to have it rebuilt and a manual valve body put in

Do you think it would be worthwhile clocking the t-case up when my 4 link crossmember hangs down 1.5"?

from the looks of it,it doesnt hang down much more that the 4 link.and with that crossmember,i dont think it would really get caught on much.its pretty well protected.you can extend the crossmember with a skid plate and never have a problem.

Personally, I wouldn't bother unless you are actually going to so a lot of rock crawling.

Brought it home, going to wire the winch up and do the trailer brakes

 

[y5mgisi]

Thats just a bad ass setup!

Put the th400 in last weekend, and finally got the rear driveline set up so that it isn't sketchy

The convertor is a little looser which is nice, probably around 2000-2200 stall

Just ordered the art carr shifter since it has a manual valve body. Going to be awesome to bang through some gears, right now I don't even try to shift since I don't want to go into reverse or park on accident

Once again, the 5.13's feel like I added 200hp, my engine also runs better since it's not bogged down all the time

I kind of want to cut my TSL's or get boggers for the back for a little more bite and do some dirt drag racing

 

[howdiy]

Going to be lazy and do this, it's pretty much the perfect height, I'm gonig to get another and mount them side by side

Not sure if I want to weld to the cans or bolts them for making mounts, I'll probably weld

 

[howdiy]

Driveshaft won't work, and my gears were cutting into my cover. The oil was filled with shavings

[y5mgisi]

Why did the driveshaft end up not working? Also what lights are those? I like the type of light they put out.

 

[howdiy]

They're the chinese LED lights that were on pirate4x4

The flange that bolts to the transfer case wouldn't give me enough angle. I had even clearance it a little bit before hand.

 

[howdiy]

Rear sway bar feels awesome, I have to make new shocks mounts now though.

Still need to brace the mounts and maybe get rid of the threaded rod and add a heim joint. Didn't have time today since I need to start studying for my test Tuesday.

I'm going to raise the transfer case mount up, then maybe look into clocking it, but with my driveshaft angle issues I'm not sure about clocking it

Edit: I bent the sway bar links testing out the shifter, got into 3rd and hit a big bump and it bent the threaded part

Howdiy, I love your truck! So badass! Sorry about the diff cover, could be worse though
