Erik and I went through the D300 t-case last weekend and installed the TeraLow 4:1 kit and Novak HD super short rear output.  Got it installed in the chassis today.


Wasn't really confident in the upper link mount on the rear axle so it got some bracing.


While the welder was warm, installed the axle armor...

I brought it so Erik could 'test-drive' it (all puns intended).

It is sooooo sweet!

Rear axle shock tabs welded and painted.  Housing swung back in place.  Rear links welded, painted, and reinstalled.

Sent emails to all of the businesses suggested and only response from ECGS so far.  We'll see what next week brings.  Likely 4 weeks lead time regardless.

Anyone have some .750 bar stock or tube?  Need ~18" for steering shaft.
