Had to reinforce trans mount, it sagged a little bit when the weight was on it

Trans cooler in place, needed a little weight in the r/r. Had to fab up a shield so rubber wouldn't clog it up.

Drove her around the block yesterday,it’s been over a year since the last time. It was Great! Didn’t test the go over drive because you have to go at least a mile before turning it on. Pr instructions. I ended up with 4.5deg for a pinion angle. No noticeable vibes yet, did not gas on it or anything like that. Have to finish wiring max 5 n20 controller and a few other things. And pass seat.

What did you use to replace the deck, was it treated lumber? I am getting ready to redo mine as well.

Used treated 2x8 from local lumber yard . Half the price of home depot and Lowe’s . Let sit for a few days and applied fence and deck sealer.

Awesome, thanks.

I used new lumber. I read the post it looked like I said I used old used lumber

 

[70chall440]

I read it as you intended it but looking back at it I could see what you mean.
