    No idea. Met the guy on the trail. He just finished building it and this was the first trip out in it. Super clean.

    In other new, I found out why my crawlbox is making a bunch of noise.

    Looks like the seal is toast. ATF must have seeped in and thinned out the oil enough to cause it to leak. Going to clean off all the ultra black and reseal the whole thing. New seal is also going to be put on order.

    I'm pretty sure it happened when I rushed getting the transfer case back in the truck last time. New seal is on the way. Going to take my time and clearence the trans tunnel more to make the install a little bit easier.

    I don't need to clearance much more. I'm not planning to clock my t-case more; just enough so I can reinstall the t-case a little easier.

    Saw that. Cory's dual case adapters are inchworm adapters which have built in clock-ability though.

    If I wasn't doing dual cases, I would def snag his adapter to clock my factory chain case and get it up out of the way. Cool shit

    Yep. It's definitely a neat product, but it's made for a very niche market. I could easily clock the t-case another 10/15* if I wanted with the Inchworm adapter, but the most I would gain would be about a 1/2" of clearance on my belly skid. That doesn't mean I'm not considering it. It would help out more so in the long term whenever I get around to doing a solid axle swap. However, to get a true flat belly on IFS requires a lot more work than I'm willing to put in at the moment.

    15° front plate and 15° rear plate will be awesome. A near flat belt for sure, but that's a lot of hammering

    I think I could get about 10* out of the t-case before I'd have to start hammering anything. I'm still waiting for parts to show up, so I might try and mess around with it tomorrow to see if I could get any thing out of it without much effort.

    Will be best and easier to hammer while the truck is on a lift if you have access to one.

    I have the truck on jack stands at the moment. I do have access to a 2 post car lift, but I think I have enough room with just jack stands.

    I am hoping he makes a kit to make the TG setup clockable. That's more interesting to me.
