I don't really understand why you guys are flippin' out over the d-shafts...the only difference in my drivetrain and most of your is I added a dual cases. My rear d-shaft is only 4-5" shorter than a stock x-cab truck. My front is probably 7" or so longer than stock..just depends on how far I push it forward. I am going to try to start making my t-case mounts tonight
Not flippin out it's just the rear driveshaft will be short, nothin wrong with that, it just means it won't twist up like a peice of licorice, with all that 3.4 torque.

It'll be 5' long...
BTW I designed my internal cage feet...I have an idea, that is why there is a hole in it.
This is what I sent to my Laser guy

Plates are done! I'll have them here on Monday. I'll also have another cab here to chop up and use for all my mock-up(cases, cage, engine, etc).
My plan is to cut the top out of the other cab so I can get all my interior cage pefectly figured out before I go hacking into my good cab...and the same goes for my cases...

I got a decent amount done today...alot of small stuff but it was time comsuming and I need to get some parts put together so they take up less space
This past weekend I picked up my runflats for my H1's(I forgot them in Charlotte about 4 months ago)
They take up quite a bit of space and I needed to put them somewhere where they take up less of it. So, what better place to put them besides where they go.
Inside the tires
The next daunting task was to grind the slag out of my wheels from where I removed the 8-lug centers. I am gonna get them sandblasted this week so I can assemble the whole wheel and get that out of my way
After
In order to get a nice clean edge it took this
A ÅÅÅÅ-ton of grinder discs and flap discs
The pile of dust that was left behind
I also got around to do some welding on the bedcage in places I couldn't get to with the cab on
I am going to get some 1 1/4 DOM in a day or two to make some pieces in the bed. I also have to get some 1 1/2 DOM for the cage and another project.
The plates for my interior cage are here so I guess I can start on that soon
I also started trying to locate where my engine goes in relation to the frame: PITA(pain in the ass)
I've got to fix this ear on my engine...it was busted when I got it and it is where the motor mount goes...I'm going to weld a stud in there

5 months? If you only knew...I've been working on this bastard for 3 years. I've finally got a direction and I'm sticking with it.
Thanks guys...compliments keep me going
