    Worst part of doing a clutch is getting the bellhousing to break free of the motor. I used my winch and snatch block along with wiggling the shit out of it.

    I think we had to wiggle the shit out of Brett's trans also. But we used pry bars to separate the bellhousing.

    Nice stuff Tim!

    It was. I should take that up with my shock guy.



    It was all bumper into the sand. Transition wasn't as nice as the last year.

    Transition makes a big difference and having the power to get the rear off the ground before the front starts falling too much so you don't get "bucked"

    About time to start cutting. :sawzall:

    IMAG0799.jpg

    Also, pretty sure the engine's going to come out at this point. Want to do the motor mounts and perches right.


    And who was asking about winch line? :D

    IMAG0797.jpg

    Have some Diamondback from Custom Splice en route to wind up on the Superwinch. Hoping that holds up to some more abuse.

    No kidding! Might be getting in over my head on this one, but we'll see how it turns out. :eek:

    I've got a pretty good plan for the core support.

    Not exactly. I'm going to fabricate the front portion and tie it into the original sides. I'm not having any cracking issues there, so hoping it will continue to hold up.

    No 35s for this build. They're just too wide to make fitting them worth the hassle. Current setup has proven itself plenty capable.

    Actually considering all the effort you've gone through to fit what you have it orobprobwould have been easier to just tub for 35s haha
