Got it up on jackstand in the garage playing with the different patterns. I really want to go do a front dig.
I put 80w90 in both b/c its what I had.

I had BVD shorten and lengthen the driveshafts both 3.5". Not the cheapest, but I got them back 4 hrs later.
The shifters were a PITA to get situated, but I got it done, and ordered some nice shift knobs from JBfab.net. The shfiter boots and mount plate should end up looking decent.
Hopefully I can get the crossmember/skid built pretty soon.
Since being under this pile so much over the last couple days, I plan on replace all teh fuel and return lines from rail pump back to the tank as they have been cut and spliced several times. Also, my rear shocks and shock mounts are trashed. Need to get them up above the axle.
The ram mounted to the diff cover has been working fine, but every other run, the cover starts to leak, but simply tightening the loose bolts back up stops the leak comlplety. I will lock tight them next time.
looks good, will your new shifter knobs have the shift pattern on them?
yes
You're gonna break some **** with solid mounts and flexy frame.
Mine was a pain in the ass to adjust the shifters too! Wait till you try to build that cross member!
I suppose i could go back to hydraulic motor mounts. But my rubber trans mount would only last 2-3 runs before it tore itself apart, and that was with the 1345.
Hydraulic mounts, both engine and trans, are just soooo ****ty from the parts store. And try and find a trans mount for an 86 with an AOD. Ford, parts stores, JBG, dont have or make one anymore.
My frame does not flex as bad as some fullsize rigs I have seen. Chevys seem to be the worst.
I know there has got to be a reason no one really runs everythihg solid like I am suggesting, I am just not really sure what to do.
These are the mounts I have, so they are not technically solid, as they do have a bushing.

if you add the foot off the 205 it will probably help prolong trans mount life.
just get some 1.75 .120 wall tube and some poly spring bushings for your new cross member and then all will match and you should be good
note to self for PNs.

Those shifter look slick.
I agree ^^^^
You got quite the little following on TexAgs to asking about the big bronc. :)
