Sorry john i believe i have the problem fixed, fixed it at rubithon, with those chains attached to the transmission to the transfere case,
then added side mount before the marlin run, no cracks at all.
But i do have a spare, took it with me only didn't have to use it,
had power steering box problems though, the top o-ring blew out the side of the top cover, no spares, made a trail repair out of michaels gas cap gasket cutting and shaping new heavy duty o ring, still in the box, no leaks will stay in the box intill it leaks then i'll replace it, trail repairs usly last the longest,
lucky for me, fuel pump went out after arriving home, second day,
