We were gone most of the weekend so i didn't get much time to work.
I did get the driveshafts installed. I was slightly nervous about this as I now have an NP205 and it required one different U-joint set and I had a couple driveshaft lengths changed. The front drive shaft appears to bind up slightly. I'll have to take a carbide burr and clearence the driveshaft yoke a little. I'll try to get pictures up tonight. How much angle is too much for a U-joint? Currently I'm at 13 degrees. I should probably have a CV F-350 style shaft up front, but I never did before and I never noticed a vibration. I'll run this for now and worst case I get a new driveshaft worked up and get the new yoke for the NP205. The slip joint on this shaft is also loose so a new front shaft won't hurt my feelings.
I also did some wiring. Not sure if you guys use these WeatherPack connectors, but they are the Cats Meow! I've used them several times. I don't have the official crimper for them, but will be getting one. I typically crimp them best I can with plyers then solder the joint.
