You guys cant figure this out? They have detailed pics of it installed up on their sight. How hard can it be to put together looks like there is only about 8 screws.

true. i was looking at the pics and it seems pretty simple. But the point is they still should send instructions.

sorry to be rude sloppy but have you installed one???

yeah there is a pic of the thing but you cant see the other side of the thing.

i worked it out where all the bits and peices goes but not sure which side the aluminum plate should face closest to the transmission because one side of that plate is counter sunked and no matter which way i put it the screws in they are too short. the aluminum cylinder things that holds the other plate, i have the shortest one left over..

i can put the thing together with the other screws left over from the kit but i rather have some kind of instructions to follow instead of installing it wrong and have to take the thing apart or worse something breaking

but if you know how pls tell...

Yeah I am really curious how itz gonna work. Quality from GMade has been top notch thus far. Right now I have a 21 turn motor in it, so guess i'll change to a 55 turn. Bye bye rock racer, hello full blown crawler. Guess I goota buy some Rovers now too.

Sorry to hear no instructions. That sucks, hope you figure it out.

It takes awhile to get a reply from them so be patient.

Dig came in today, which is weird because I have not recieved my other parts that I ordered two days earlier!!
Anyway, mine did not come with directions either. It does seem simple using the pictures on Junfacs site. Hopefully I will be able to install it tonight. It sucks that I have a 21t motor in it guess I will just go slow until I get a 45-55t. Looks if you go fast then switch to dig....snap!!! We shall see....
anyone install and use it yet???

I built it but have not installed it yet. I have a 3 year old AND a 16 year old so its hard to get any "me" time. I plan on working on it today and mabye I will even post a pic or two. As I said dig is built and I think that just like the kit, they send extra parts. We will see once I get it mounted. I am going to take my 55t motor out of my Creeper for the time being. Hell I'm going to try to do some now, if family will let me!!!!
