    I was at 4 7/8" to 5" on that pullie to the top of that tube mount. I've haven't had any issues with my drive train. I do know my transfer case was 1/8" lower then the stock truck I took my measurements off of.

    Yes.

    I'm thinking with the headache of the engine mounting behind me, things will start to go quicker here. Also got permission to take a personal day from work next week if need be.


    There's a few things that will probably be left undone though. Might not get to the new winch install, or cutting up the bumper and making a new skid.

    The motor is 100% back in, drive shafts are in and the new core support is taking shape.

    Leo's like Brett's PR guy.
    Let me look through your build a little bit and see what I can come up with Charlie. Unfortunately, "Anus" is probably already trademarked by @Gramps :rofl:

    Made some good progress on the core support too. As pictured by my media guy @Night Eagle




    He also did help quite a bit today. :cheers:
