Next Mods

I'm mid-way through installing power rear quarter windows. I've got the door switch in and wired, and all wires run, but I still need to mount and wire the motors.

Working on LED rock lights, auxillary H3 backup lights, and switching for additional frontward lighting too (have teenie tiny fogs and 4 KC Daylighters for that use).

I'm putting a Ford T18 manual transmission and NP205 transfer case behind my Dodge 46RE automatic. I'll have 32 forward gear selections and a 113:1 crawl ratio. I'm considering swapping in a manual transmission too...

a Dana 60 front is clearly needed. when this happens I'll probably regear to 4.88 or 5.13 too.

The Future

Manual valvebody for the 46RE? Definitely rock sliders and body protection, probably also a roof rack/mild cage. Also cutting brakes using hand levers to actuate each rear ebrake.

be sure to visit my how-to section for further information.
