    well sunday austin and I got the np205 together and bolted it up to the tranny to find out i have to make a new crossmember... not a big supprise... i then picked out two driveshafts from my pile and i just need to shorten the rear one 2.5" and the front about 3"... monday i picked out the gas tank i want to use from my junkyard... i decided to go with the 33 gal because i really dont think the 16 gal will be neirly enough and how is it saving weight if i have to carry jerry cans.... i cleaned it up and moched up where it was going to go... today i put it in having to fabricate clamps to keep it in place... i found out that there is a tiny little leak in it that i will repair later... turns out that it has had the leak for a long time and i never knew it... the old skid plate was full of gas soaked mud. I am now about to either do the crossmember or the driveshafts... dunno yet... that is all for now... feel free to come by but i dont really need any help at this point

    yes for right now it isnt in my budget and it will be easy to just throw in and re-tube the driveshafts when the time comes for it
