Alright, thanks to Corey at RPP I have parts!

transfer case is now mounted, so I can start mocking up the interior





I also picked up a set of straight rear axles and adapters from the LHS




I guess I have to go start the interior now, I have ran out of excuses not to...

I whipped up a quick battery mount, I figure Ill hide these under the floor in the interior.





8 cell pack I had made by cheapbatterypacks.com


I'll have to get creative to hide the other electronics, maybe under the dash, and in a fuel cell? time will tell..

thats exactly how I was going to do the batteries in the montero but using "nun-chuck" style with a bar of 3 cells on each side making up a split 6-cell 2/3A pack.

Nice work. looking good.

Man, there are way too many cool builds to keep up with them these days. This is looking great, I just read throught the whole thread, and it's the best 1.9 build going right now. Awesome job on the steering.
I really need to go out to the garage now......

Looks good man!

Looks like there is room to drop that R2 down a little lower. I am sure that shaft will be fine but its Steep! Might help with COG too.

Cant wait to see it with the interior in. Decide on a color yet?

The shaft rotates smoothly, and since they are both stationary, I know they shouldn't bind.. I'm going to throw driveshaft rings on there for good measure though..

As for color, I have no idea..

I was wondering how you were going to do the back part of the interior,looks great! I saw you were looking at the CAC ONE9 12Holes,are you getting those? Hope not,I think I might get a set for my Pajero.

nice tub. Are you going to do anything between the tub and the inside of the body, particularly toward the bottom corners of the back door? If not, I'd suggest doing something so you dont see the thinness of the body.
nice steady progress...
