    Got the dual cases out.

    [​IMG]

    The plan is to swap the rear case with the 4.70 twin sticked case from my 82. I now have 2 sets of twin sticks so I think I'm going to put the j-shift back on the 2.28 case since some idiot put the twin sticks on and didn't remove the interlock pin to allow 2Lo...

    Got all 3 cases out and swapped the 4.70 case over into the dual setup for a 224:1 crawl ratio :cool:. Cases are going back in tomorrow. Also picking up 39.5's in the morning.

    Picked up some 39.5" iroks today. Pretty happy with the stance. Need to run the steering stops out some so the tires don't get into the spring at full lock and I'm going to need spacers in the rear to get off the frame and I'll have to remove the stainless panels above the tires to stuff them.

    How do you like those seats? Make the interior look a lot cleaner! I just don't know that I could live with a non movable seat.

    Very comfy, a little hard to get in and out of because of the big sides and steering wheel.

    And they do move :cool:

    So I bought the truck with a "sticking starter". I pulled it off and took it apart today. One of the contacts is toast so I'm going to head to the dealer tomorrow to pick up and new pair.
