new dshaft, 30 min paint job, solid diff cover lots of pics

got a few things done on cheveep this weekend and today.

new rear driveshaft from tattons in utah came in the mail today. 280 shipped to my door. half the price of tom woods and ultra quick shipping. not to mention they answer the phone...







got my shifter hooked up==== im using one shifter to control both the transfer case and transmission. ill post pics of that this weekend... im gonna do a "how to"

got my solid diff cover- 65 plus shipping from polyperformance, came out to around 85 after everything. came with all hardware and a big tube of black rtv.





bought some rustoleum tough enamel rattle can, believe it was around 6 bucks a can, used two cans on the body and one can underneath. light coat on everything, i plan on doing another coat this weekend if the weather is good. no prep at all, sprayed it in the driveway, took about 30 minutes with a few breaks. its by no means professional looking, but im fine with it.

Looks pretty good. Do you plan on bigger tires?

Did you ever do the how to on your shifter? I'm still interested in this setup, but can't figure out how to get past the problem we discussed. How did you get it all solved on yours?

Tatton looks familiar! I hope his name gets out like TW and the rest of them. They are great at what they do!
