My credo
it is easier to fix and understand than "her"
First


I expect that challenger back home in MY garage by midnight young man.


Have no idea why you think it should be out there....




I definitely would have used a rear 60 and a front ttb 44 to avoid notching the frame.

The exo being removable is superb! Wow.

I would have put it in the fenders.... But that's some good work.

Yup need more tube over the forward roof though and some sheet

You can use a 31 spline slip yoke from a 2wd trans for the passenger side.

Cut and sleeve to extend.... Or if you went to a 50 pig or 44...with the 50 yoke...it can be a 1350 joint.

I modified the width of the axles and trimmed the splines. It fits just perfect at full droop and at full bump. No binds and no chance of coming apart. Took a little bit. But ill add your info to my notes for next time
