Has anyone tried to shorten a g4 tunnel

Nick that look awesome. They don’t make a 175 expert obviously so if you want one the least expensive way it to shorten the tunnel on a 175. Or wait a year and hope Doo does an Expert 175.

I'm guessing the reason they don't is because it would take much more work to make a 175" expert. The current models can just be a different skid and gearing in a current chassis. The 175 would still need the same suspension mounting points, but shorter tunnel and cooler. Really no way to do it without making another chassis. Not saying it wont happen, but the current expert really wasn't much work on Doo's end.

Animals can be expensive I spend tons on vetts
Who’s tmotion delete are you using?I cut mine in the middle so that I could avoid any warping on the back of the cooler. That's a lot of welding in one area, it will he hard to keep it all nice and true. I also didnt want to burn all the powdercoat off the top of my tunnel and wanted the lines to match up on the original taillight housing. Mostly just cosmetic stuff, but I have a nice finished product. I'm not at all worried about it cracking in the middle.

I haven't had a chance to make any yet. If I get to that point I'll post them.

The 2018 taillight fits right in, just need longer bolts to fix it and youre good to go !

how difficult would it be to replace the tunnel with a shorter one? It seems that would be simpler.

What was the easiest way to drain, then later refill and burp coolant?
