I hope so.

I am kinda stuck here all of a sudden no one can find me the right CV style U joint output for the front tcase. So I have a drivesahft that is cut to made and it probably isnt going to work out with a 1350 CV.

No, no, no he needs to black em out, put his 06 mirrors on, and tint the windows ASAP. No point in running it until you it looks fly!!

On a side note Beard, I can't believe you would take $5k for this monster. It's probably well worth $20k in just parts.

No flanges back there. It is all welded.

Well I know you have heard every compliment in the book but....

I just spent about three hours reading through this entire thread lol...I am just amazed at the work you have put into this. When you're in this deep though you gotta do it right piece by piece!! Its gonna be awesome when you're done..heck it's already sick. Without a doubt this thing could be on the front of a magazine...

Now what do I do for the rest of time at work?? hahah..gotta love slow days.

Can't wait to keep up with this thread now that I'm up to date!

you lost me bud? they havent made such a product ever. Not in a 32 spline version. No one has. I cant fit a 1350 CV flange because of shifter clearance. Its a tight tight fit. I will most likely order a strong 1310 driveshaft from Tom Woods Driveshaft and call it good. Though I hate to run a dang 1310 with 400hp and 42s.

Oh snap. I'm clearly in over my head here. Sorry.

I was linking you to a 32 spline adapter for a NP203 for the REAR. What front case are you running? I'm still betting that HAD could have anything made that you need, instead of running an inferior sized u-joint yoke that you KNOW you're gonna break.

Most definitely speaking from experience here. I wasn't just talking about Beard here. I was talking about projects in general. Everything just takes way longer.
