Hey, do you happen to have any closeup pics of how you modified your dash (particularly on the driverside)?
Was any major surgery on the wiring or ductwork involved?

 

[CheapThrillB2]

the very edges of the duct work and did nothing to the wiring other then move it out of the way with zipties

i had 3 scrap dashs that i played with before i got it to where i could remove as little as possible to get it to fit. The dash pulls out as if the cage wasn't their

pass side of dash

behind the glove box

drivers side top of dash

bottom drivers side, the fuse box was a PITA to move out of the way, but no clipping wires

baskside of the pass side, this was one of the pratice dashs i played with

best i can do without taking the dash out lol

I think that's the backside of the DRIVERside
Naw, those pics are great!

Must be nice having "spare" parts just laying around, I'm stuck with one chance here to do it right if I take that route, so hence the Q lol.

Thanks!

yeah i just noticed that it was the driverside lol........it could be cleaner, but i am not real big on appearance. Just as long as it works

i have hit a creative road block on my fenders and qaurters

 

[CheapThrillB2]

I finally got my trans crossmember built so i was able to get the truck mobile again. Needed to check flex to figure out what i could do about fenders and qaurters.

My LF shock is fully extended but i still had another 2 inches before the rear reached the point of putting tire into body (which it can). And the RF tire was into the inner fender support.

I was flying around the yard and the truck feels so much more stable being 3"s lower.

What about trimming the rear panels? I'm lost on what you could do with the front.

i hadn't rubbed in the rears yet...have to see how it actually does in the trails. I may jsut leave it.

Tube the whole front end and eliminate the sheet metal. RB

shattered the shaft (Yukon 4340), recovered the ujoint and the crosshafts were undamaged (5-760x). KSEJeeper found a ear with the cap still attached and the cap had the c-clip still on it. Call Tuesday for my warranty.

Where did you get your shafts? Is it a one time replacement warenty? I need to get 2 set's of chromolys and am debating on what to get. I broke 4 shafts at the blessing this year so it is time! RB
