Default Highlift tranny mod, take a look

I have not been thrilled with the stock highlift GC. The truck is great but gets stuck on everything. I have looked at mods that guys have done and thought I could do better. I wanted to keep the tranny where it is in the frame and loose and inch from the bottom. I like the three speed. This mod kept the tranny in it's stock location and works great. I used two endplates, welded them together and stacked the gears off to the side. I then made a rear cover from two rears. You have to weld up a notch where the cover now sticks outside the frame and bring it out a bit but it's way better looking.Bend the bottom tube a bit and that's it. It performs so well, it can go over just about any rock now.

great mod, sure helps with the clearance, and doesnt effect the cg much if at all.
