Some protection for the NP-205...

I was in the mood for some heavy metal work so I fabricated some protection for the NP-205. It worries me that the front output hangs down so low. At least now, if I hit something it will be with 1/4" plate, not the transfer case.

Here it is on the bench:

I received this nice package from Columbia River Mandrel Bends and a muffler from Summit Racing so my next project will be the exhaust.

The muffler is the straight through design. The truck could be pretty loud, especially when I use the Jakes.
