I hear nothing but good things about this combination, but I will be happy to give a report.

Having the ability to lift the body off to work on shit must be really cool. It looks like you’re having a lot of fun.
How long is this supposed to take?

The build is actually being done by Motech. For a whole list of reasons I am not doing this build myself. Motech was highly reccomended. I wish I had their shop resources!

Way excited for you!

I think I have watched the video of you getting Moby back with the LT installed 20+ times now, it helps pick my spirits up after going out to an empty Jeep garage. Puts a smile back on my face every time!

How do you like the 4:10 gears? I am currently at 4:88 and thinking it maybe overkill....

For me on 37’s the 4:10’s with the Motech geared atlas is perfect. If you’re going with 40’s stick with the 4:88. The 10speed is a great transmission I can cruise at 80 at around 2100 rpm.
4 low I usually have to bump shift up to 3rd 1st is still plenty low for crawling
