Very little of it to be had. I have a bit of in car from Glamis including the breaking of the input shaft but so far as I know there is none of it itself. Always too busy having fun!

Thanks. As to color I think I have settled on the metallic blue I've always used on the race cars. Somehow I always come back to it.

Looks good Fabr,very nice job!

So the tranny,adapter,coupler thingy is holding?

Are you going to produce the adapters?

Thanks guys. I appreciate the very kind words. With a bit of body work finishing and paint it may deserve them. There are still things to be done/corrected but for the most part I'm just going to enjoy it for a while. Yes the adapter seems to be bullet proof since the vasco input shaft upgrade.. I plan on making 3 more with a couple of case mods in the near future. Seriously the thing is the cats ass.

Car looks like it sits up quit a bit more then in the past.  Looks real good.  Nice stance. I like it.

Thanks,fast. It only sits 2" higher than before due to 35" tire in place of the 31's. It sure does look better now though. Seems to be much more in proportion. 20" ground clearance at approx 50/50 suspension travel ride height. The gear ratios are much closer to optimal also now with the taller tires. I can road it at a nice,moderate rpm about 55 MPH instead of 45 (it'll still top out @ 90 tho). If needed I just downshift the 091 to 3rd and off I go. I'm considering going to a taller paddle for the sand also and running the 091 in 3rd .

your welcome and thanks. your design/fab work on that 091/adaptor alone took many many hours and is impressive still to this day imo!

you know you just can't ever go wrong with the color blue  ;D ;) ;)    the majority of my rails have been blue, although this current black one is growing me though lol

Wow!!! thats a lot of reading.  How did you hook up the shift linkage?  Do you just have 2 sticks for each tranny?

LOL!!! Ya,a lot of reading . About 1/2 of it just BS'in each other. Yes,2 shifters,sort of like how older 4WD trucks were. Only use the busa tranny for normal shifting duties unless a different overall ratio change is wanted or wishing to engage reverse.
