I cut down the crossmember and drilled some 5/8" holes to bolt it to the brackets I haven't made yet. I also started making up the driveshafts, the front will have a nice angle and the rear is going to be real steep. The pinion is turned up as far as I dare and there is only about 2" of travel before the CV binds. :tantrum: To bad the driveshaft isn't rubber! :idea: Well I need to sleep on this one. I sure am glad I streached this a foot and used a high pinion diff or there would be no way to connect a drive shaft at all. :hammerhead: This is where jeeps suck and I knew that from the start, but there has to be a fix for this too. It will come to me after some :sleepy: :crossed:
:idea:  Mr. Willy How about doing a 2 peice driveshaft like is on the 2wd datsun you could mount the center section about 25* lower than the front then the second shaft will bolt to the center and than to the rearend that should solve your delima. :yupyup: just my  :twocents:
