Jerry,

Thanks for the tip. I recall you asking me about the driveshaft angle at the party. The driveshaft does angle quite a bit to the right from the transmission to the diff; I'll check the horizontal angle too. I've been considering having another driveshaft built with solid 1350's. I'll give you a call at the shop in the next day or two regarding setting up my rear end with a Truetrac.


767,

I started wondering about a car "pole vaulting" over the driveshaft long before I ever heard any of the horror stories. Makes ya wonder why the manufacturers don't put in a front loop.


Ant,

Yep, that seems to me to be the best alternative.


All,

The big advantage of the totally enclosed "Buckshot" system is that you can probably leave the fuel and electric lines where they are and still be pretty safe in the event of a separation. Everything has its pros and cons...
