Glad it's a noticable difference. Pics?
It's adjustable right? Do you just center body on frame and tighten it down? Need alignment?

So you put this kinda thing on in the day light too? BTW how's that going to help you hit 465hp? Sorry, just had to say it.

Rowland it's adjustable and it's rebuildable. It's got a very beefy rubicon express joint on one end then you tighten down with a wrench if it becomes loose and it's got a bushing on the other end made out of some incredibly hard plastic. I'll get ya some pics of that and the crossover steering here in a bit.

Matt, I install nothing in the daylight. Nor do I install stuff sober. Works better that way.

If I can't get a crew together up here I might have to come down to BCS to get some help putting my fuel system in. (Still haven't totally decided which one yet)

If that's the case I might have to get you involved anyway. How long do you think it would take?

Oh lucky me.

I just talked to every machine shop in town. 90% of them don't do automotive work and the 10% that do won't be able to get my pitman arm back to me until next week (need the taper fit hole bored out to 3/4"). Looks like I'm about to drill it out myself. This should be fun.
