Looks awesome Zach! I love it. What was the reasoning behind the bed swap? Just looks or function?

Installed the front driveshaft and the shifter.

4wd works :)

I put probably 40 miles on it too. Seems to be doing well so far.

did you change the transfer case?

you could always crawl under the truck and shift the transfer case if you had to.

Ah its in there but no boot and looks so so, its enough to get by, I want to cut the shifter arm and move it back far enough so that the cup holders can be installed and still look like my interior did before. otherwise I got another idea but I will have to have it machined at work.

I will get pics today for ya.
