that was my first time painting anything larger then a motorcycle gas tank. its a 20/20 paint job, and its going to get messed up, so it was the perfect canidate to learn how to paint on. I learned three things.. buy more then enough paint, and i should have used a darker colored primer, and i need to learn how to tune a paint gun. All that concidered, it turned out decent...

Well Here are some pics I took tonight of the Drivetrain back in and our temp cuts on floor to get it back in.. we also cut out the entire center section of floor tonight but camera ran out of batteries

When using the Marlin Crawler adapter you use the front half of one TC, then the adapter and then entire 2nd TC?
A single TC mount is enough to support the drivetrain?
Nice tranny tunnel, I like fabrication like that!

Thats about it...

As far as weight is concerned, yes, but not enough to handle the extra tourqe esp if you have 4.7's in one of the cases.. But i dont use the stock x-member.. I made my own x-member, to push it all up above the frame rails, and i used both TC mounts.

Nice tranny tunnel, I like fabrication like that!

Thanks..
