Test fit the 203 for drilling and taping the other day and thought some of you might want to see how tight it is and what the plan is. Basically I'll be cutting the rotted floor out and building a new tunnel.
I will have to have a spacer built that is between 1/8 - 1/4 inch thick. I need to pupll the crossmember on ce I get the case drilled and tapped. I enlisted a machinest jeeper friend to do that. It is close but not close enough. I got Jeb's machine shop's adapter with a billit shaft.jmop said:how is the fit up on the 203 to the AW4?
The factory adatper fits tight around the bearing reatainer and I was kinda wondering how well it would fit in the AW4.
who's adatper are you going with for the 203 to 205?

Currently custom arms that are set up for 6" lift. I have to get/make new ones that are longer. Have not decided if I will go to the trouble of long arms. Seems like a waste of time when I'm flexing more then the coils can handle now. As for on road ride, It's a damn jeep, it isnt supose to ride like a caddy. :gee: 36" IROK'sgaromy said:That's a good looking XJ. What suspension arms are you using on the front end? Are those tires 36, or 38? See you at the Crawl.
Those are at the bottom. The 205 will be on its own mount. A crossmember that is beefy! I was going to see if the tranny could retain its crossmember but I figured the front DS would prevent that. Untill I get it all under there and lighned up I'm not sure exactly how it will all be suported. The plan was to do that this weekend. Oh well so much for plans! :gonnablowjmop said:The AW4 is all aluminum. Are those holes on the bottom or the side of the case? I can't quite tell by the pic. I wouldn't feel too bad about opening them up. I'm guessing you are going to run a t-case mount for the 2nd case? What are you going to do for a crossmeber?
