She drives! ......well at least she did.
Got it bolted up. I decided to do what this person did here http://therangerstation.com/forums/showthread.php?t=46418&highlight=1210
I only got 2 holes drilled and my bit went dull. The bolts I had bought ended up being too short so I found a couple laying around. I know for a fact they weren't grade 8. So, I only had 2 weak bolts in it, but decided to take a drive anyway. Drove great for a little bit, until I snapped the bolts. Had to take the shaft back out and drive home with only fronts wheel drive.
Still don't have shocks mounted in the back. She's pretty bouncy. I can really tell a difference with the 3.73s though. So much easier to drive.
