that about says it all.:awesomework:
i still remember the first time i saw this rig out at reiter.. impressive is all i can say. i also remember a time when your tranny got full of water in one of the big mudholes,and you needed a lil tug

.
i just had to clean out some storage,and found a couple pics of my first 4x4. a 77 power wagon sitting on 38 tsl,and a mild 440. that thing would light up all 4 tires on dry pavement. i miss being young,and dumb. now everyone just yells at me for being old,and stupid.

This trans has the vent plugged behind the converter and drilled in the rear of the case you can seen the fitting in the pic..... I am hoping that it will survive the summer...LOL I am a little worried about the 6:17 gears but I think for most of what I do they will be ok....should be ready to roll for newyears weekend:awesomework:
