well dem ISOFORMA USA Amazon vendor peeps did us no favors weldering that stud aka bolt in there like that for us, don't tell a.c.ward but gosh darn it he was right it was impossible to extract this contraption in it's current native state, so these bolts had to be liberated, thank you for using cheap easy to grind grade 5 hardware
and don't we all just luv buying new parts, just so that we have to modify 'em! |

Re: My Dusty 71 GMCe Electruck
I usually dont think far enough in my "projects"to plan ahead for remove-ability. then have to redo it, lol
your work looks good brother. |
Re: My Dusty 71 GMCe Electruck
It's looking really nice. I still say a mockup gas engine needs sat in there to make it look like there really is a gas engine in there. :lol: What Jeep do those mounts come from? That looks like a good option for many things.

Re: My Dusty 71 GMCe Electruck
Those batteries being almost flush with the top of the frame sure would leave a lot of room for a front trunk though. :lol: That Bluetooth steering is cutting edge. :lol: I think the funniest thing I saw from SEMA last year was a big lifted truck had no front drive shaft. Instead it had the Bluetooth logo cut out of aluminum and bolted to the yoke flange. You might even be able to incorporate something like that on this build.

Note: the sharp peak in the middle of the first battery pack is there because I have yet to cut holes for the engine crossmember bolts in the aluminum brackets, once I do that they will go down about 1 1/2" |

Your motor compartment is starting to fill up nicely. ;)

Re: My Dusty 71 GMCe Electruck
Since you’ve got those pesky bolts removed, could you weld the nuts to the bracket for easier removal? Nice progress!

I got the stock OEM Lexus GS450h two piece drive shaft so I started to work on the middle donut support mount, I believe it's crucialistic that the short shaft is perfectly in line with the transmission
I started out by divorcing the two pieces just to make the short stick lighter and easier to work with, plus mounting it by itself gave me a line of sight to test with my eyecrometer |

I also chose to remove the bulky rubber doo dad off the long shaft, at the end that would mate with a Lexus differential
this is where we will welder up an "American" [pronounced: Universal] joint |

If your drill remnants look like this, this means you have a good sharp drill bit. This is Goodness! If they look like sparkle glitter that means you have a bad dull drill bit. This is not good. |
