I finally got the spare AW4 I had cleaned up and mounted a fliped D300 on it, I used a Down East Offroad flip kit on it and have it twinsticked, now all I have to do is drop my old trans and pop this one in

Haha, ya, I'm the same way. Everyone gives me shit for it, but shiny means clean and rust free!

I think I do it just so people don't look under it and go " What did you say you did under here again?".

I am to the point of just dropping the old trans this morning, everything has been unbolted and it is ready to drop out, hopefully I can get this one up and in today. I am really getting anxious to try it out, once it is in then I can do the cutting brakes and then it should be ready for some testing

my buddy had clearance issues with the front driveshaft and the bellhousing when using an AW4 and flipped 300 , he had to modify a stock YJ front shaft(the little 1" diameter one) to get it to clear ??

I am running full width Dana 60's so the pinion yoke is far enough outboard and not a problem fo mine, I have it in now, just tieing up a few odds and ends on it now and need to measure so I can go get the driveshafts redone for it, then it is on to installing the cutting brakes

Ok, here is the truth, Chuck is my spotter for the RCrocs comps and I promised I would put some of his stickers on the jeep so I had to have a clean place to stick them on
