Full bodied MJ on 42.5 boggers

Fun and great looking build! Subscribed!
 
Had some fog lights from a SVT Focus laying around and decided to put them in my front bumper. Was not on my to do list but im still waiting on parts... Started with some 5 inch exhaust pipe and traced around it.



Then cut it out with a torch.



Welded some studs on the pipe to bolt the light to and cut it to fit the hole.



Welded it.



Ground it smooth.



Welded some rod over it and painted.



And installed lights.



All done.

 
Finally got my Behemoth Doubler. Very nice piece.



Got it assembled and ready to bolt in tomorrow...





Ran into a small problem with the cables. To keep them from being bent more than allowed I have to put the triple sticks between my seat and the transmission shifter... Looks funny but shifts comfortably...
 
I feel like an ass for just finding this. Incredible rig dude keep it up !
 
Let me know how you like that behemoth doubler piece. That's one thing I've been debating if I go to a buggy in the future. My 241 doubler is just really long.
 
Lowered the engine one inch today. Trying to improve front driveshaft angle at the case, tuck the 205 up a little higher and get my bell housing out of the firewall. This drivetrain is huge... I used some Daystar engine mount and cut an inch out of them. The 205 still hangs 2 inches below the "frame" rails. Probably as good as its going to get.



 
Brain storming... This is a output shaft from a np241 and the matching driveshaft. It has 6.5" of 32 spline shaft. The second set of splines measure 1.62" which happens to be the same as the id of 2" .188 wall dom. If I use the 1350 yoke on the axle side and weld the cut off output shaft onto the driveshaft I should have a beefy slip joint. Thoughts?

 
I bet your wondering what's going on with the slip joint on the front shaft. Well I'm pinching pennies trying to get this drive able for Memorial day weekend. So I reused parts I had to make a 32 spline long travel slip.

The male spline is the output shaft from a slip yoke np205, 208 etc.



The second spline that runs the speedometer measures 1.625 o.d. That happens to be the exact i.d. of 2" .188 wall dom. So I cut it off right behind those splines.



After I press it in I plan on tig welding it with stainless rod. The case hardening on the shaft has been the only hurdle so far. After talking to multiple people tig seems to be the way to go. Then I removed the slip yoke from the factory chevy driveshaft (1350) and will hook that to the axle yoke.
