Got some work done yesterday.

lower link crossmember and mounts I might have to modify it a little to clear the driveshaft.

Front range rotated crossmember

Everything mostly in place. The cases might go a little higher.

Why do you use flux core?

lizard lips · Mar 6, 2008

I don't run gas with this welder. I'm getting a new welder soon. Just haven't got around to it. I can convert my welder to use gas but I haven't yet.

looking good. how much of a body lift are you running??

lizard lips · Mar 11, 2008

Its a 2" body lift. With the floor air chiseled a little for the crossmember to sit up a little higher.

some more updates. Took the toy cases off. Sold the dual case adapter, rear case and crossmember. Getting an adapter from OTT to put a dana 300 behind the first case. Just waiting on parts again.

lizard lips · Jun 7, 2008

Some updates finally. I can finally move around again after having knee surgery. Got the adapter I still need a c clip for the output shaft. Hopefully I'll have it all in this week.

And the dana 300

MIG'DHORSE · Jun 7, 2008

nice.:awesomework: ive wanted one of those cases with an OTT adapter for so long.

lizard lips · Jun 7, 2008

I waited for mine for about 2 months. But I had knee surgery so it evened out

no excuses · Jun 8, 2008

nice choice on the d300, much better option then the toy case :awesomework:

lizard lips · Jun 8, 2008

I agree. I can have front digs now

dove'd85 · Jun 9, 2008

do you have any plans for the 300? are the toy transfer case gears stock?

lizard lips · Jun 9, 2008

The gears are stock in the toy case. Everything will probably be cryoed. The dana 300 with be upgraded with 32 spline outputs twin stocks and clocked up.
