Drivetrain update

We had a slight problem before where the drivetrain didn't fit on our frame mounting points.  That issue has now been resolved by milling down one diff cap, and everything fits fine now.  The lower mounting tabs still need to be made and welded in, shims need to be made, and half shafts need to be cut to length.
Before - notice how the right bearing carrier doesn't match the frame mount location

After - all fixed
