It Begins: Miss Blue

Meh...shouldn't be too tough to fix...I am pondering two options, your thoughts are welcome:

1) Route over the top of the transfer case. There is room. It is doable. I don't know how it would affect flow (probably adversely) and clearance for work if the tranny ever needed work done would be reduced.

2) Route it in-line with the add-in crossmember for the t-case skid. Lose the option of a crawler-box down the road.

Decisions decisions...

I will be in Yosemite staring at a bigass rock and shitting myself.

 

That's kind of my thought. If you're installing a 3-grand transfer case, another 100 to re-route the re-route re-route isn't gonna sting much.

And I'm not sure I'll ever take it that far. I'm thinking 4.56s will leave me happy.

 

Also, the takeoff shudder is now completely gone, and there are no problems at road ride-height. So that's nice

Also, I now officially have a spare driveshaft.

 

whip geeets beeter and beeter

 

Makin' front bumpers yet?

 

Got some pieces of metal hanging off the front of mine right now actually...

I'll just need to "borrow" it until after Harlan then you can have it.

 

Heh.

Like I said, I think I'm taking a sabbatical until mid-june. First week of June I got a major climb, so I'm kinda focused on that now, and using the few weeks with the truck off the trails to get some inconvenient shit done to it.

 

Should have something ready for you before you hit the trails again then...

 

Yea tell me bout it. Still have to finish the swing arm for my rear bumper, and make the front. Plus fix a few other little things before then also... AHHHHHHHH!

 

Jon have you not seen Pd3's bumper??
Did Kevin make that one??

 

I have. It's the hybrid. I'm more interested in the plate. Waiting to see both before making my final decision.

 

Oh I hear ya man.

 

How much do I pay??? Ummmmm... I'll give you the same paycheck I get myself.

 

lol. Hate to break it to ya but I've never ever drawn a paycheck from ATO.

 

Now that's a man committed to his company.

 

Good News Everyone!

Exhaust now clearanced around the driveshaft without another reroute. Turns out it wasn't contacting the exhaust, but it was only clearing by about 1/32nd inch. You could slide a postcard between them.

Anyway, a little tube bending and repainting the pipe and we're good to go. Less of a headache than I thought. And no, the crossover still doesn't hang below the frame rails.

 

Good to hear.
