Now we need to work on that Demello guy. We need to get him to drive his FJC this time.
 
i wish they woukld come out with the adapter to move the stock one up , soon ,

Move it where? Cut a hole in the floor and change the whole drivetrain angle?

Seriously, the benefit of the Lefty is the low range, side benefit is gaining some ground clearance with Bud's crossmember and re-routing the exhaust...
 
But you're right Jerry, the stock case is so much larger than a Lefty that there's not much room to clock it any more in the transmission tunnel in the body. A lot of work for very little gain IMO. Agree also that the extra clearance is just a fringe benefit of the Lefty. Still managed to high-center mine a month or so ago.
 
A roger brown BL and a MML could net a few inches of clearance for the tuck.

The next one will be my 4th or 5th in a row; great event and a great 4WD park (as long as it isn't raining too much). See you there.
 
fa shoo ! yea i heard yall have ahd like 1 good one with no rain are ice

Nah, the ratio is the other way 'round - only one moderately bad one for weather/mud. It's usually cold and dry. Bring your insulated Carhart coveralls.

Good deal, see you there. I haven't decided what to drive this time either.
