Yep. Tech tidbit for you all to file away... Sploder frames.. while very similar to the other RBVs... are significantly different in several areas...
I wish i had a better camera so I could get a pic of this double wall thing it's got going on...
Cross member is in... trans is bolted in solid. Now to start hooking **** up to it after i bench press the t-case back in.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Well... I didn't like the amount of deflection I was seeing in the cut corner of the crossmember when I grabbed the t-case and tried to move it around... so I put the piece I cut out of the back corner of it up to it in the rig.. and found it cleared the bump in the frame if it was spaced in the thickness of the metal.. so I welded it back in.. and it clears.. and it's much more solid. Sometimes it just a simple solution...

There you go kids... C5 and 1354E behind a 4.0 in an exploder.
Here I started on the NSS/Reverse lights wiring harness. From the factory, it also has the trans soleniod harness running with it. Since I no longer have trans solenoids.. I took apart the black plug from the inner fender and pulled the 3 solenoid wires out of the plug. Why? Cause it's cleaner than just hacking them off...
Here you can see the 3 wire solenoid harness pulled out of the main loom. (center) with the trans harness (right) awaiting it's splicing with the C5 NSS/Reverse switch plug. (left)
I'll do what color goes to what tomarrow..
