Een's 4door build, the long road too... oh it never ends. 4door sc 3link sas

Awesome thanks

 

Finally tore all the way into the truck to put the crawl box in. While i was in there i sprayed a can of sound deadener in the trans tunnel and already have sound mat inside the cab.

 

Had to get a bit creative on pulling the coupler off the input to the stock t case.

Bearing seperator and a 3 arm puller.

 

All was going great until i went to put the crawl box on the back of the transmission tail housing.
It doesnt fit... the machining on the trail gear transmission adapter is 3/16 to 1/4 off on the dowel holes and some of the bolt holes.

If one dowel is aligned...
The other wont line up

 

Fiannaly went and got my front axle from Daimond, forgot to mention i got her a companion a couple weeks ago.
Diamond housing is 9.5 center section with fj80 outers gussetted, 67 wms. Her sibbling along side is a spidertrax spider 9 pro housing for the rear. Heat treated with spidertrax' chromoly unit bearing ends and wildwood brackets. Thinking i will cut it down for a 64 or 65 wms, have not decided yet and i will cut it for a centered pinion, not equal length shafts (so 1 shaft will be 2.125" longer)

 

Bad ass man. Buy the 9 in housing new or "used"? Just from experience I would do the rear axle either same length or .5-1" shorter if itll mainly be a wheeler. Mine makes it really hard to spot/do v notches with the rear being 4.5" narrower.

 

Actually bought both of the housings 'used'. The diamond had brackets tacked on it for mock up on a buggy but never ran and the spidertrax was another craigslist deal that someone bought and just never did anything with it.

Thanks for the i put on width for the rear, i have a bit of time to po der it (unless i blow up another 8" rear than it will become the priority!)

 

Figured while i was messing with driveline stuff i would put a shift kit in the valvebody. This is more to protect the clutch packs than anything, i have read the tranny in stock form does not like a supercharger.

Has to be one of the most messy projects i have done, atf just keeps seeping from everything.

They had to make every bolt in this thing different, had to draw up a diagram to keep things straight.
