Thank you sir! Keeping things clean is one of the important keys to DSM success. I learned that from members on this board.

black = 2g cover I believe
grey = 1g cover or the other way around can't remember.

I have defiantly thought of that but went the other route of removing transfer case and keeping driveshaft in place. If i had more clearance under the chassis than i would just removed the driveshaft.

Good thing you brought that up because bolts can defiantly be an issue.

Here are the OEM bolt you dont want to run:

and here the proper longer bolts:

I didn't know about the bolt until pulley was installed. So i went and checked my pics and confirmed i used the proper bolts. I also went back and checked my invoice and confirmed that ExtremePSI sent me the longer bolts even tho i ordered stock OEM bolts ... which is really good. Longer bolts worked well with stock pulley so i didnt even notice the difference.

Here more info on the bolts.
