Yes, the v100s and v150s are heavy on that side. Next time you see one, you may notice that it will lean to the left. I put heavier leaf springs on that side to level it back out on the vehicles I rework.
Here's a shot after we modified the air conditioning and heating unit to fit on the back wall. Had to shorten the top by 1-1/4" and relocate the condensate drain on the bottom. Another last minute mod was to split the transfer case cover so we wouldn't need to go through an act of congress to...
Thank you!

Here’s the back side of the cover for the low frequency speakers just below the winch. The brackets will allow four LEDs to be recessed for that “clean look”
The whole thing will be sandblasted and powder coated prior to assembly
Thank you, and you are correct...they are light bar support legs 8-)
Here's the latest add-on...a roller tipped Micro Switch mounted to the transfer case that will be used to power up LEDs on the dash in order to show 2WD and 4WD positions. It's probably a good thing to be sure about before...

Here’s what the monitor looks like after powder coating and assembly, along with the tone ring and sensor mount we built and are in the process of installing for the speedo. It uses the same sensor that is used in the Allison now 8)
