Erik and I went through the D300 t-case last weekend and installed the TeraLow 4:1 kit and Novak HD super short rear output.  Got it installed in the chassis today.


Wasn't really confident in the upper link mount on the rear axle so it got some bracing.


While the welder was warm, installed the axle armor...
