D44a install

Well I have the D44a installed that I got a junk yard. I think I am going to do the hack n tap on the TC output shaft and get a DS made. Also got a classic tube 5th brake line made so all the flex is now SS Braid.

Well Here are a couple of pics of the ARB front locker installed.






Also picked up a Lincoln welder flux core wire model and decided to weld up my trackbar mounts here are a few pics, not bad since I have not welded in 20 years,




Also one of it on the RTI Ramp
I think my shocks are limiting my travel now.
