Made a new footwell panel to hold the gas pedal for the 2.8 CRD. It's drive by wire so just need to hook it up to the ECU

Installed the dash loosely to check the alignment. Need to open up the hole for the steering column a bit.

Transmission installed..... again

Installed the transmission again but now with the twin sticks installed.

Shifter in 4th gear

Transmission in 3rd gear

I need to remake the trans mount. I'm thinking something very simple attached to the belly pan. I also need to check the rear driveline angle and make sure I can make something that will work with the flat belly. Should be OK but I want to double check..

Back from vacation

Back from vacation, did a little wheeling in Moab. I was impressed with the trails the Taco got up. Did some wheeling in Ouray, CO too but nothing crazy. The high altitude passes are fun. I think we hit 13000ft on one trail..

Sitting pretty low but not full bump.

Took out the 85lb spring to let it flex with loading up the new mounts too much. Still need to fully weld them in and design a cross brace for it.

Full bump and droop. It's going to require 2" spacers for the wheels.

Fuel cells new home

Plating to reinforce the shock mounts/towers
