Will the hovercraft be making the journey to BV ?

Its a goal. If I can figure out why the tcase won't shift the rear shaft out of neutral the chances improve dramatically. Put in the jbfab adjustable detent kit, so it may be as easy as backing off the spring tension.

Finished up the shifter mount for the t-case and doubler.

That is an interesting piece! Looking forward to seeing it in action.

Sort of wishing my lockers were cable actuated, just so I could have more shifters.

You purchase that transmission shifter? Do you have the original ZF5 shifter youΓÇÖd want to part with?

I've got the stock one, but no no knob for it. Yours for the taking. I'm using the JB Fab one.

Perfect. I want to try something but donΓÇÖt want to do it with the one IΓÇÖve got on mine just in case it doesnΓÇÖt work.

Got a rear sear I've had stashed forever recovered to match the fronts. I think it's Rox's old one. Pretty happy with how it came out given that I've never done upholstery before.

Got a little work done on the cage extension. Trying to decide if I'm going to leave the existing kickers to the wheel wells or run a new bar to triangulation.

I vote new bar.
Looks great!

Looks good, must be "Roll Cage Season"
Is that 2"? Looks beefy compared to what I'm working with.

Yep. Would have done 1.75, but the existing cage is mostly 2".

Making progress on the cage. Also got the viperwolf special sauce power steering pump installed. Old one didn't flow enough to power hydroboost, 4x4x2 and ram assist. If there's still issues, the hydroboost unit will be going out to Vanco to be rebuilt and ported for better flow.

It looks almost identical to the 03 Super Duty unit I'm working with.
