    Fingers crossed. I'll still seal it between the plates and the tub, but I think it will be perfect.

    Hey Alex, are you using red RTV to seal the case back up after you take it apart and swap input shafts?

    Yea, that's the plan since it's heat and solvent resistant.

    Man I love those 80's models. Definitely going to creep on that one too now

    Thought the cross member was a neat design. Could be fabricated easily at home.

    Doesn't really look too difficult to build but it's not needed with the Marlin TacoBox. The only modifications required are to some aftermarket skids.

    Allllllllllllllllllll right.

    So much to update.

    Where do I begin?

    Utah is the shit. Moab is amazing. I'm ready to move. The truck killed it on the trails and it was pretty bad ass doing harder obstacles than a Rubicon on 37's was willing to attempt.

    I've got a lot of pics and a lot of video to comb through, edit, and upload. Don't really have the motivation, too much to do at work right now and I really want to get cracking on the FJ case swap. Here's a few fun pics/vids to give you an idea.

    Went up that

    https://youtu.be/P2g3ShqJ98Y

    Went down that

    211E33AB-24AC-4D20-9FEF-64BBCE765CB1.jpg

    Went over that

    A03F15A5-0F23-4BE6-82F4-7C7F228BA94B.jpg

    You get the idea. I'll get it all uploaded to an album and drop the link. There's more than 800 pics and videos to share.

    My skids are bent up pretty good. Had to do a lot of touch up painting to the bumpers and sliders too. Probably should have gotten steel skids. I'm worried when I take them off to install the FJ case I won't be able to get them back on!

    Marlin crawl box got pushed up the priority list a ways. Hoping to get it in after the rice season this year.

    I figured since I'm going to punch a big ass hole in the floor later this week I'd better wine and dine her a bit beforehand.
