This should be in Tech! Looks good :greg:

How long is the wheelbase going to be? What t-case are you going to run?

This isn't tech, it's FYI or for your enjoyment.

The wheel base won't change, it's 108.
The T Case is a D300, until I blow it up and then I will go Atlas.

One thing that was bugging me for some time was the front drive shaft. I was worried the the CV would hit the tranny. Well today I found out that it would clear. :greg:

Attaching to the frame. The main hoop (top) goes into the frame about 10" and the lower cross member goes in about 4". I also placed a gusset between the two and two kickers. Next I will fab up the tranny support. :cool:

That is some stout frame attachment. :cool:

I wouldn't be worrying about that section. :D

Me neither.

Any specific reason you're using a CV on the front shaft, Shawn? Nothing really wrong with it, but it is a little bit odd....

Well, I have always ran a CV on the front due to drive line angle. I first built this drive line with a regular u joint but the angle was bad. If my right front would have dropped a few inches the u joint would have bound up. I rebuilt the shaft with a CV and it smothed out the angle.
