[QUOTE="GlipGlop, post: 1574781, member: 15223"] April 2022 (3 days before OSCAR) With the front axle and steering now buttoned up for our trip, I turned my focus to the doubler, its crossmember and some other components. Since I installed the doubler, I've never been fully pleased with the set up. Having a driver side front axle with a 231/D300 caused a lot of clocking issues. BOTH cases were basically upside down. The smarter thing would have been to convert the front to a Chevy passenger drop axle or get gnarly and chop up the HP Superduty axle to make my own. Obviously that didn't happen and instead I reclocked the transfer cases to get them out of the floor boards. This resulted in more holes in the back of my transmission. Lowering the transfer case also caused my transmission crossmember to interfere with my front driveshaft, So I went ahead and modified that to have a kick up in it. For last second alterations, it seemed to all work out decently okay. But don't be fooled I was stressed and frustrated. Nothing like waiting to the last minute to prep for a wheeling trip! :rolleyes: [ATTACH type="full" width="631px"]215300[/ATTACH] [ATTACH type="full" width="632px"]215302[/ATTACH] A little floor modification to make that flipped 231 fit under the passenger seat. [ATTACH type="full" width="633px"]215303[/ATTACH][ATTACH type="full" width="632px"]215304[/ATTACH] The transmission crossmember prior to reclocking the t cases. [ATTACH type="full" width="632px"]215305[/ATTACH] The hoop I had bent at the local muffler shop so the front driveshaft had clearance. [ATTACH type="full" width="632px"]215306[/ATTACH] Glenn's Muffler Shop was also kind enough to bend me an offset for my exhaust to clear up and over my transmission and 4 link crossmembers.
