Oops double pic! Tranny had to come out to replace pump seal and o ring.

OH NO!!!!

Lol oh ya! It wasn't that bad just a weep from the tranny but it was enough that I figured I better pull it apart and fix it! It also was an opportunity to see the mistakes we made when making our own third member. We had to cut the bolts to get it to move back and come down. The body was off when we put it all in so we had more room. The new design will allow the third member to drop down and make tranny and transfer case much easier to remove. (Not that I hope to have to!) Also still need to work out parking brake?? Frame sliders are very stout and I think they are going to look great when painted and mounted again.

Third member or cross member??
Third members are the differentials in the axles.
Good for you for seeing an issue and getting it resolved w/ the trans.
These are the "bugs" that pop up!!
