So is the Behemoth case still smaller than an Atlas? It'll be interesting to see how that shift mechanism works long term. I know stock D300 are old, and the MMW parts weren't made correctly, so they all have issues shifting.

Shifted things around a bit based on feedback. Moved the trans all the way forward and put the switch pro behind. Should make access to the switch pro better and should be more natural of a fit for the shifter. T-case shifters are basically in the same spot as the trans which is nice...

Yeah, I get that. My thought was to get the trans shifter situated in a position where my arm felt natural when resting on the center console. The shifter might have to move forward more for that to happen. Always hard to tell in the computer models as the human form is very flexible and hard...

Current thoughts. Obviously none of this is set in stone until I get more of the interior and the seats in, but its a tentative plan for now. I'm not sold on the switchpro panel location and I will probably try to move the cutting brakes up higher if possible. Depends on how the reach for...

How do you like your cable shifters? I keep hearing people warning not to go that direction, but the one project I have done with them seemed to work out well, and it would fix quite a few problems on my end.

I was also thinking the trans would be the most frequently used and in my head I really want that down low between the seats. I'd like my left arm to be in a natural position to use it. Then have t-case in front of the shifter on one side and the cutting brakes on the other. I really dislike...

Trying to plan the layout of the interior of the new buggy. What do you use more often, t-case levers or rear cutting brakes? I had been thinking, especially with a driver drop t-case, that having the t-case levers closer to me would be a benefit when doing front digs. Now I'm starting to...

That last pic, the diff placement looks pretty good. It looks like the front driveshaft will clear the engine just fine and you have enough real estate on the drivers side to attach the lower link mount while still getting good steer angle. You'll have to move the PS pump up, but thats kinda a...

How you gettin 86-1? AW4 is a 2.7 first or am I missing something? 2.7x4.3x6.20 only gets me to 72-1. Still not bad though.

Looks good to me! I think the key to not cracking is more in the preheat than anything.

11.875 ram with 50 deg steering and I get this:

Yeah, but its really just a simple sketch. Any CAD program should be able to do. You could even just plot it out on paper, its just easier with a computer. I will say that its a very simplified sketch and in real life there are a lot more things going on, so that length may change slightly...

Like dis?

It might be this one Billa Vista did? Looks like its on Irate now. Brake System Design by BillaVista v2 Still, that just spits out a number. You have to figure out what number you like.

I flat towed my cj5 for a bit. Made a towbar and it had locking hubs on the rear axle. It did get me places. My suggestion though is to get a trailer. Depending on breakage you might not even be able to roll it home. I always worried about water crossings and getting water in the bearings...
