Here is the transfer case all mounted up. I still need to shave some weight on it.

I still need to make minor adjustments, but here is what I have so far. Once I get this part complete I'm able to move onto the motor/transmission mount. Enjoy.

:mrgreen :.

Motor / tranny forward mounted?

Cool start

Liar!!!!!!.

Damnit, I was tring to lighten up the t-case mount and broke the flex shaft drive spring on my multi tool. Shit!!!!!!.
Looks like I'll have to find other means to reduce weight.

stelerzman · 02-11-2013, 09:26 PM

Replacement drive spring ordered, about 10 days out.

I have an idea and I'm going to try it on a piece of scrap before I attempt the transfer case mount weight loss program. I'll let you know how it works out.

stelerzman · 02-12-2013, 05:28 PM

Got some gears and slipper clutch parts ordered, they should be here next week.

stelerzman · 02-12-2013, 08:55 PM

Small but beautiful update, I just finished drilling out the trans-case to lighten it up and now I'm polishing it up to a brilliant finish. I'll post some pic's tomorrow.

stelerzman · 02-13-2013, 06:06 AM

A single teaser pic's

.

More will be posted later today.

stelerzman · 02-13-2013, 05:15 PM

Ok, as far as I'm concerned the transfer case mount is complete.

Here are some more pic's.

This is raw aluminum.

After a good polishing.

Next is the motor/transmission mount.
What do ya think???????

And a motor/trans.

Still waiting on the front axle housing from RC4WD, it's out of stock at the moment.

shwng1973 · 02-13-2013, 06:48 PM

No he needs someone to drive it.

Looks sweet. I like the aeration.
Now we must sit and wait for your parts to come in.
Just get the Vanquish wraith axles.

The only problem I see is that VP doesn't have a centered rear axle housing.
