Hey all, I work on the Kat Saturday. Install was pretty straight forward. Used a buddies lift to make things easier. Everything took about 6 hours between beer breaks, lunch and trans jack issues. Was really surprised how easy it was. Hardest part was removing the factory driveshaft bolts. They use a lot of green lock tite. I have about 50 miles on it so far. Gears whine ever so slightly but only really only noticeable on deceleration. I was expecting worse from what I've read. Cradle lockout is a little stiffer but not much. I was nervous about that. No issues with vibration so far on the driveshaft up to 85mph. I'll keep you guys updated. My DIRS brace will be here Wed. I plan on installing sat when I change the diff fluid out. Taking it to the track Sunday. We have a group of 25 for a private track day. I'll be the only American muscle there 💪. A few photos of the install. If anyone has questions let me know. I can answer from my experience.

Installing the DIRS Diff brace this Saturday. Any helpful hints? Heading to the track Sunday.

Diff brace is pretty easy. I did run a tap through the holes in the frame. Always a good idea to do that. I think some years have the holes tapped and some don't, but the kit comes with those special nuts, so you are good to go either way.

Re-torque per the instructions. They loosen up.

Seems a driveshaft safety loop would be a great idea at this point as well. Looks like you are having fun working on it at least. Nice when a friend let's you borrow his lift.

Help me out, which pic shows the cradle lockout bushing, and how does it help?

Also, if you want long-term reliability, you can safety-wire some bolts.
