GMC, we were going to do mine like that, but I wanted to be able to drop the pan without having to drop the crossmember. My buds dad suggested doing something like that too.

I gotta give major props to my buddy for helping out so much. We also did all the work in his dad's shop. His dad kinda gave us a hard time for doing it the most difficult way, but I think that it payed off. It worked out great for going around the back of the pan so it can be dropped without dropping the whole thing.

GMC, how much longer do you think it'll be before you get yours running?

I sure didn't. Did you get the 6.0 flywheel/spacer? I don't know if I would go with a drilled flex plate cause it might throw the balance off.

Good deal. Can't wait to hear it. I have heard so many good sounding trucks on here, and your truck is honestly one of my favorites. Let me know when you post it.

I got the mufflers put on today. I'm gonna do some more tuning before I make a clip. I want to get a little more lope in it. I'm also going to make sure they aren't leaking any too.

I also got some cutouts put on too. I'm impressed how well it looks. They did an awsome job on it. I'll get some pics too.

Nice photo's Flyer!

Sorry for diggin this up, but I hate being away from this site for more than a day or two (Been about 3 weeks this time ).

I really need to go buy a welder, get the Jeep on the road, and find myself and damn 4L80e and Xfer case. After all that, it'll be turbo time!
