NV4500 swap is underway

[ryanroo]

I have a 205 population issue here to. Even though Larry decided to try and help it didnt matter. only a few months later another wayward gearcase found a home under my workbench.

Larry, you may know this already and not care, but an OEM trans W style trans cross member will bolt right up to the NV4500 mount without the need for the double stack of bushings.

As always your work is fantastic and very clean. looks great

I think all 4x4 gear heads have at least one or two tcases laying around. Mosesburb has a 205 or two laying under his bench too. Thanks for the kind words dude.

Ah...yes, you mean this crossmember like what is in my Polar Bear Burb below? Ya, I know it that xmember works great with a NV4500 but then period correct double xmember and big skid plate wouldn’t fit plus both xmembers would have to be moved back a few inches which would be an issue on a short bed. I also didn’t want to drill more holes in the already overtaxed 1/2 ton frame. For those reasons we made the cantilever bracket for the mount to mount in order to keep the stock xmembers in their original locations.




This is an OLD picture but I like this xmember and skid plate combo better than W xmember in the Burb. The W xmember sure makes the NV4500 an easy swap though!
