[QUOTE=George G;9164]I like it great idea. I dumped the torque tube and went to a open drive line. I soon found we needed a torque arm to prevent axle wrap.[/QUOte


George,
I built a torque arm, but didn't like the way it came out, So I added to the split radius rods and created a mini ladder bar. Hopefully, it'll take care of the lack of a torque tube. The gear has no function, other than to add some stiffnerss to the assembly. It's a worn out gear from a Ford trans. Just some recycling out of my trash pile.
