I went out wheelin lastnight and was in the pits. it only took 5 minutes to break 2 of the trany mounts or bushings,what ever. I also killed my z link and pulled all of my drive shafts apart.
WHAT I NEED IS IDEAS FOR STRONGER MOUNTS THE BUSHING THAT MOUNTS THE TCASE TO THE FRAME,AND IDEAS FOR STRONGER ZLINK STEERING,ALSO NEED TO FIND SPACERS FOR DRIVELINES I AM TO CHEEP TO HAVE EXTENDED <IMG SRC="smilies/crybaby2.gif" border="0"> <IMG SRC="smilies/smokin.gif" border="0">

I think your problem is 33's and stock gears. Get the crawler gears first, then wheel, otherwise your going to smoke the clutch and possibly take out an axle trying to power up stuff. Spidertrax sells a t-case mount kit that replaces the rubber t-case mounts with urethane mounts.

Just take the tcase mounts that you have and straighten them out as best you can. Then take some 1.5x1.5(?) square tubing and cut it to fit inside of the long side. Have the tubing welded in and go for it.

or better yet, get a extended slip yoke from trail tough

65 bucks, better angle than the spacer
