never fails! it's all good, though, man. I know a few people who may be interested, and if you send me your email addy I'll forward it on. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/cheers.gif" alt="" />



nothing I can't handle <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />

Two ways I'm thinking of going with the axles:
a) Find a wide (like 63" wms-wms) 12 bolt rear from a 2nd gen troop and do a one link rear w/ coils, and a chevy front d44 w/ the long side cut down for a waggy shaft; leaves. more time-consuming and probably pretty pricey to get it setup for extensive flogging.
b) Use a toyota front axle and the stock rear. I could get a 4.56 3rd member from a V6 4runner and run the stock rear gears. With the power it's got, it shouldn't be a problem. I'd get some spacers for the front and 2" backspaced wheels to help with the width issue. toy axles are readily available, lots of folks around here run them (nice for bumming spare parts) and this setup could save me some time and $$$.

I'm torn on the drivetrain. I have another MUA5 I can beef up with teras, but I want to have a much lower crawl ratio than this would afford me. maybe a divorced case behind it, or switch to another trans with more case options. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/confused.gif" alt="" />
