great work on the truck,can never have too many light options
the big older ones seem right,but the small ones look cool |

Thanks! Well, what I like about the larger lights is that they have a structured lense for the driving beam and the clear parabolic reflector combo for the pencil beam, so that looks more old school than the new clear glass fre form reflector ones.... |

So what are your plan for this rig? Full time off road? Daily driver occasional offroad? No offroad? Lol. I'm gonna venture to say you have a fortune in drivetrain and axles. Almosttoo nice to get dirty!

I thought I was the only one crazy enough to put a zf trans in a square body. Glad to see one up and running!

This is how the tank sits now. But I have to remove everything again and move the tank back to the very back of the frame rails in order to clear the mag hytec diff cover at full bump. The way the tank sits now, the cover will hit the tank about half way through bump travel. The thing hanging on the wire is the rear ultrasonic load leveling sensor for the adaptive headlights. Iīll also replace the aluminum tank straps that came with the tank with some stainless steel ones. |

I was trying to finish it up by the end of April. But I ran into some trouble with my Howell harness and had to send it back to have it fixed. Hopefully they can get it working and back to me in the next few weeks.

I did find a rust free original paint cab to replace my rusted out one. I thought while it is bare, Iīll have a roll cage build for it before paint and before putting it on the truck.
Here are some progress pics http://i133.photobucket.com/albums/q...26-2014152.jpg http://i133.photobucket.com/albums/q...26-2014153.jpg http://i133.photobucket.com/albums/q...26-2014155.jpg |

What angle did you set that zf at? Factory 3 degrees, or a little steeper to match the rear pinion angle?

I thought about notching the crossmember sometime, to lower the engine back down a bit, but too lazy to take the engine out just to do that now. When I take the truck back apart for paint and powder coating, then I might add the notch. It drives great the way it is though, so maybe I shouldnīt mess with it. Iīm running a rear 135CV shaft, so the pinion angle on my setup didnīt have to match the output of the t-case. All the angle comes from the CV. The 1410 u-joint at the axle is the same angle as the drive shaft tube. |
