Richmond 3.91, I was trying to come up with the best off-road/highway compromise I could, and now that I have the 6.34 first gear I got a 99 to 1 crawl ratio to boot

I forgot about that first gear you have. I would like one of those. Almost went and got a np435 ready to go with hydro clutch down in Florida last year

HAHAHAHAHA - doubtful. I've been piddlin with little - painting screws, sanding patches of body glaze - no excitement there. I'll have spring break in 4 weeks or so. My goal (written in pencil) is to get primer and paint on it over break. Not gonna hold my breath....

Nice pile o' goodies you have there. Looking forward to seeing it all together

2012...... Well, that makes me feel a bit better..... I bought this stoopid thing early 2012. Was beginning to think they would have to bury me in it so I could ride in it.

grr not as far as I wanted to be right now but I did get to fab up a nifty tool that will be very useful if I have to work on another 9.25, it fits into the hex opening of the carrier bearing adjuster so i can easily adjust the ring gear from inside the axle housing tube like the factory tool. I should have the center section finished in a few hours and maybe even under the Jeep we will see ow long I can stay awake lol

Gonna check my FSM for my 71 Dodge Dart to make sure I have it set up correctly and then it's going under the Jeep

Got the chance to cut up some 1/2 inch plate last night, I am going to slot the holes a little closer together Monday. I was guessing at the dimensions from what I could find in the internet go figure they were off by a 1/4 inch
