    No prob, just something to keep in mind that the 2wd 5lugs Tacos had some parts that we don't.

    I found a MSDS pdf file for the maxlife. It's a T type.

    I couldn't sleep so I got to work. I trimmed up the 3.4 fan shroud and checked the clearance of the fan. It looks good. Then made stencils out of cardboard and foam blocks. I just need to transfer this over to the 2"x2"x 1/4" thick steel.

    Yup. I got the motor, tranny and t-case all from one truck.

    By the way nice work on your cab cage. Looks good!

    Thanks bud. The pieces are for the motor mount perches that need to be welded back on the frame. I should have everything welded in by this weekend. I have the steel cut already and once I get the perches welded together I'll post pics.

    I finially got out and saw the force awakens. I enjoyed it. When I got home I pulled the motor out again to pull all the pieces for the perches. I also pulled the front diff to add the actuator.
