I have the crawl box and adapter up for sale HERE as I've got a turbo tranny and t-case coming in January and no longer have need for that crawl box. I figure I may as well sell that one and get a rotated adapter while I'm at it. If I go to a rotated adapter, then I can't use the FROR crossmember, which is okay because this was causing a little trouble with the All-Pro e-brake kit. I really want to run the e-brake kit, so I guess the FROR crossmember has to go

I think now I'll tuck the drivetrain a little by cutting up the tranny tunnel and making a raised tunnel for all the drivetrain. Then I can make a custom center and attach it to a flat skid with some bushings and make it all removable. You may as well do something as far right as you can afford, eh? :
I think I'm also going to redrill my Ford pins to center up the axle a little. I went for shackle angle and didn't quite get good wheelwell centering. If I don't like the wheelbase, I'd love to make a stretch runner and put the wheelbase around 113" or so.

Next project is to get the front axle together with the hi-pinion 5.29 ARB and longs. I bought a compressor only to realize that the rocker for the locker and all other hardware was supposed to come with the locker :homer: That's what I get for bargain hunting and paying half price

I have two finals today, but after that I should be able to work on my junk 'til the 21st when I go to Kansas to hang with Grandma and the family for Christmas. I'll try to post up the small progress more often so it doesn't build up like this.
