Better hurry before it is gone.

Godevil came over and helped with the ram assist. I got it mounted, still needs a little more welding on the brackets and need to extend the pump housing to hold more fluid. I'll post some pics tomorrow. Then I get to remove the tranny and T-case for swapping the t-case(thanks JP) and fixing the shifter. Once all that works ok, I will remove the fuel tank and carb to prepare for the pane!!!

Good job getting off your duff today and getting that done today. What are your plans for adding fluid capacity to the pump?

CARB AND PANE after the rock, right? Let's not push our luck so close to an event.

pane is getting ordered and installed before RR! I backed off the ram assist...hoses no working right(need new ones) and somehow got the measurements wrong on the ram. I forgot I change the location on the axle and then fully welded it. Now I cant hardly turn right...totally screwed up. So I will be removing it and wait til the tons go in.

Shawn came over and we got the tranny/t-case removed. Will clean that up,change the shifter,and t-case...then reinstall within the next few days.

[chuzie]

Sounds like someone will be making a trip (or two) to CR&G for some hoses!!!

[blazinchuck]

alright, got the np435 shift housing changed out...shifts nice now. In order to do that i had to remove the tranny and t-case. While I had those out I replace my t-case with the one JP hooked me up with. repaired it(broken flag on front shifter rod)...got it all installed. Still need the drive shafts installed and to bolts on the cross member. Too tired to finish tonight.later,Chuck
