    so everything that has teeth in the front diff is missing some. Trying to decide exactly what to do up there. Gears are going to be 4.88 but I am thinking that a truetrac is in its future.

    lets hear thoughts.

    I guess thats kind of a relative statement. Below is a pic of my setup and its more expensive than what you quoted, but I also want to switch the smoothbody out for a bypass at some point which will be more money again.

    I try to look at it in terms of being able to justify the cost.

    oh yea also ordered everything for the 4.88 gears, should be here this week.
    I didn't end up going with the Truetrac because after me trying to convince ECGS I should get one they kept telling me it wasnt worth it. I figure if the guy who stands to profit from me buying it kept trying to convince me it wasnt worth it, probably wasn't a good idea. Oh well if I decide I need something up front I will just go with an ARB down the road.

    Thanks guys.

    I have the TC kit so it came with a weld on lower mount. It is more than just a tab but not as much reinforced as I would like so more will probably get added at some point.

    what motor mounts are those?

    They are the trailgear motor mounts. I had been planning on those for a while but finally found the tranny mount thanks to Jason.

    I would assume they only make the tranny mount for the manual because the hot setup is a five speed with a crawl box out this way. In low low with 5.29's the stock motor and tranny mounts dont last long.

    Im really not sure why mine arent black, every pair ive ever seen are. They probably forgot to paint mine, but oh well. Mine def arent in great shape, but I will have to see my truck again to do the install and find out.
