    While I get the bolt relocation problem figured out on the rear axle, I've finally resumed work on the boat sides. 3/16" plate, and it'll continue down to the bend/angle in the link crossmember to make the entire side a single facet for mounting UHMW.

    Hey @45acp, what backspacing were you running at this point? I recall you documenting your work on ttora, and at one point you said 3.75"bs w/ 1.25" spacers, so 2.5"bs total? Was that the case after you got everything cut up, or did you end up ditching the spacers? @Blackdawg I know I asked you about this too, so feel free to chime in again (and sorry for the repetitive question:anonymous:). I'm just trying to keep up with the damn WY boys...

    Wel considering that I bought those rims and tires off him and have them on Frank right now...lol

    He ran 1" spacers up front. So he had 2.75" bs. I have 2.25" due to my 1.5" spacers.

    You need at least 3" bs to keep the tires off the frame when turning.

    Just the norm skids, sliders, & 35's
    I'm almost positive my wheels are 4" BS and I'm running 1.25" spacers, still rub the frame ever so slightly every once in a while. Another .25" of BS would keep it off the frame entirely I think on mine.

    This is the info I needed boys! I found a smoking deal on some 16x8s w/ 3.75"bs. I already have 1.25" spacers, so I think I'm going to jump on them.

    Shouldn't be much change? Should still be able to bolt up the crawl box and tcase. I haven't made driveshafts yet. Might have to redo the mount which sucked anyway, but I think that should be it.

    After some research, the W59 won't hold up to the 3RZ now anyway. Will also be nice because I won't have to work out an expensive clutch setup in an already cramped floor area. I'll be setting this up as a semi-automatic transmission, so I'll get the best of both worlds.

    True, it does hang lower so I gotta make a skid plate/mount setup. Good thing I haven't gotten around to making the floor yet either. :anonymous:

    I was originally out looking for sections of bed floor that I could cut out and patch mine with. But this one was in such damn good shape, I couldn't pass it up for $130. Zero rust on the floor and minimal rust over the wheel wells. A helluva lot better shape than mine. The bedsides had zero damage until the guy at the yard flipped it right side up to load onto the forklift. :facepalm:
