Thank you! We will need to swap notes. I decided to get the DD cross member as well as the mounts. They look good in the box...we'll see how easy installation is.

I thought hard about using an NP 231 with passenger side drop but decided the 205 was just as easy and better reputation for being bulletproof. As I've gotten into mine, I had a seal leak (the only leak in my entire truck with the original setup) but everything else looks very clean. I should be good for another 20 years after the rebuild and adapter.

Here's hoping it doesn't take me the next 5 to get it assembled. Man these things take a lot of patience and persistence. I'm in Australia at the moment and can't wait to get back and dive back in!
