Bender, Do you have ballpark when sw3 will be ready ? Design wise will the sw3 be like your rig or is it going like sw2, but 3 pieces ?

| I'm hoping to start on them after I get back from Easter Jeep Safari. But, machine availability will be the determining factor. The SW3 will have a 1 piece motor side plate, unlike the prototypes.

Looks awesome Brad. What made you change to one piece? Too much flex? May have to break down and get the new generation. Thanks, John |

There was a little flex in the prototypes, but it wasn't too bad. I want the production version to be able to handle alot of abuse. The one piece design beefs the chassis up big time, and it's lighter. | |

i like the 3 piece side because it alloes you to pull the tranny out without total disassembly. it does flex, but its not bad at all, i mean really what can the sprung center section of a 2.2 weigh. on mine i can twist it by hand barely

look at the motor side of the production model, even though it is one piece you should still be able to pull the motor, there is less to it than the 3 piece prototype | |

Aaarrrrrggg... I have found myself in a dilema...I just picked up a TLT kit, got the axles built and I am ready to think about the chassis. I am a "build it all yourself" kinda guy, but this chassis looks sweet. So, your looking at after Easter for this to become available huh? I'm up in the air to wait or to just build |

I dig the looks of the new 1 peice side plate as opposed to 3 seperate peices. This looks much more stout! |

| no on the 3 piece you can take out 2 screws and pull the tranny, motor and all. no need to disconnect the drive shafts
