I finally Finished my spacecab.. Its 100% done. I have been driving around with no front Driveshaft for about a year now, this past weekend, I had enough of that, and broke out the Welder. and the cut off saw, and made myself a front driveshaft out of some square tube.. OH yes thats right hahaha. It vibrates like crazy above 15mph, but I dont go that fast most of the time in it.

A few weeks ago, I set out to install my own front gears, after taking out the ARB that Independent4x had set up a few years ago, and I never used(sold the arb). I got an open carrier and went to town on the set up..

I finally got my rear up in the air too, My stock springs were sagging about 6 inches lower than the front so it looked stupid. I got a really good deal on some OME springs and now looks and rides much better..

And because I think this picture is cool...

Ok ill stop using bandwidth now haha..

PS the square driveshaft is pretty much worthless, the stock Ujoints can not take any sort of angle, so yah, im back where I started..

If I happen to see there's a transmission anywhere near you, I'll shoot you a PM.

That emblem is from my bros old VX, the original front end was demolished by a 200 lb deer going 80mph into my front end, or was my truck going 80mph?? i cant remember haha

Thanks for the help last night, we got everything pulled apart and put all the new stuff in, put it all back together, and nothing turns, so somethings not right. Im going to have to wait a week to pull it back apart.
