    Got hung up on the clutch fork not engaging the throwout bearing by 3/16 of an inch . I wasn't able to get any info as to correct or remedy the situation, nor get some of the repair shops to make a house call, So I switched to the G7123 COE and have made some progress on it though. Buuuuttttt, I...

    Picture Dump 5.27.20 Rear Mount is sorted out after 3 redesign and second set of lowers done when it didint work out drilling the center of the stock M35 upper mounts. This is as far I go as it will need a shim to level with the transfercase...but I haven't sourced polyurethane isolators yet...

    Thanks for the suggestion a sponsor would be REAL nice, but I can't in clear conscience support a manufacturer that has been proven to me to not be reliable. I did find there was a free extended warranty available for the this particular bandsaw as there were design problems but said extended...

    Thanks Guys! Yep pretty old school here! LOL! So Thursday I put the intercooler and radiator back in to check clearances one last time before cutting the crossmember, just to be quadruple sure. As expected there is more room than I needed (well under an 1 1/2 more than before I decided to also...

    Thanks! Actually I consider it a way of 1) Helping others learn from my mistakes and help beginners to plan and to give them insight into how hard or easy a project is. How I go about project planning (or winging it when it DOESN'T go as planned! LOL!) Also for the seasoned professionals to...

    Can't believe this! Goes to show you can't trust every tool...sometimes the simplest tools are the best!

    M135 S and M Build

    Been fighting for 2 plus days now the angles and clearance...either notch the crossmember for front output clearance or raise transfer case and rework both front frame mounts to lower engine trans. Engine/trans and tcase are centered in the frame, tcase front input and transmission output...

    According to the Spicer manual, the short jackshafts should never exceed .5 degrees in the horizontal plane, and should be in perfect alignment when viewed from the top. I do feel I have something wrong with my mounting. As the front output has an 1/8 clearance under the crossmember (I know...
