). I already have the Marlin Crawler for the low range and the under drive should help with getting me up the highway hills to the trail. I already have 4.56 gears from the PO in the diffs, so the 10% under drive should get me a nice ratio again with the 315's.
Nit picking at a few projects of mine...wife got me an adjustable Dobinsons front panhard bar for xmas. Installed that and then centered up my steering wheel that's annoyed me since day one, also installed the OEM front brake shims that had disappeared somewhere along the way with proper grease to get rid of the squeaky front brakes. Cruiser drives much better with the front panhard bar in and got the axles closer in line with each other...I really wasn't expecting quite such an improvement!
Next up, I bent my radius arm mount on the right side axle back at Coal Miner...got some new stiffener plates from @Outsane to take care of this. Was able to do get it 95% straight with the BFH and some shim blocks and the radius arm bushings are much happier now! Also got some rear lower control arm skids from @TRAIL TAILOR since I'll be doing some welding with the front bits. Got everything mocked up and happy with how they'll fit, so did some metal prep and painting today to get them ready for installation soon.
Next project is to install my 105 sector shaft kit in the steering box and install the @Delta VS steering box braces while it's out. No rush on this yet though as I don't have any cracks or leaks...just a pro-active project for later this spring/summer.
More things in the works as I'm considering doing the 10% under drive transfer case gears from @cruiseroutfit since I have a leaking rear transmission seal that will need attention (since I'll have the transfer case off already
And now I see a sale from ARB on lockers..."up to $250 off"...might be time to have a match to the rear up front. I'm expecting the QPM from Wit's End anytime as I'm in batch 5 from last summer and should be in due for shipment hopefully by the end of the month (per his site update). I was already planning on going with the dual ARB compressor as the single is fine for the locker, but just works too hard for air-ups. Dual should fit nicely on the QPM, but waiting on actually getting it in hand before I spring for the compressor.
So many projects, so little time!

If you were closer, I have the cans and actually a gasoline safe pump too that does about 8 gallons a minute....had a similar issue with my boat, but it was 75 gallons
. Turns out that when my fuel gauge bounces off of the"E" that there's still about 25 gallons in there, so never getting fully rid of the old stuff with running a half tank of fuel per season. I ended up connecting the pump to the line just before the water filter, so I was able to draw it right down to the bottom, which was handy since my tank is glassed in under the deck. Let me know if you want to borrow the cans and/or pump and we can figure something out to get together.
@CrabCake - If you do the 10% underdrive high range along with the lower low range gear you'll net 3.3:1 on your low range. This is what I have in my 80. I rarely need to touch my brakes on descents now. Which is great because 80 brakes suck! My 2500 Suburban stops like a race car compared to my 80.

Is there going to be an option like that for the 200? Or does the transfer case not allow that?The HRUD/LR gear set does magic for the technical trail manners of the 80/450 & 100/470.
3.3:1 is selling it short, I like to call it 3.317
How many cans did it take to do the underside?
