Broke the old dana 44 I started with. Put 14 bolt rear axles front and rear this spring (welded front) haven't broken it yet. needs a true test it the woods will take it to camp and skid firewood this next summer. plowed mounds of snow and york raked my 1000 ft long drive beat it pretty hard needs more protection for the driver and a plate on the rear to suck the logs up to also a faster winch, anybody know if I can get different gears for a hydy. winch?

Thats awsome, I was planning to build one myself, only difference really I was going to use 2 1/2 T rockwells instead.

[luvoldshit]

that would be great I used what I had but that would be bullet proof. If I get my stimulus in the mail I will get an atlas transfercase to shorten up the drivetrain and make it stronger

[eskimo810]

the real question is... will it drift?

[Helpmefly]

i guess they should improve the traction on soft ground

[eskimo810]

@mastersduhgree Yes, otherwise I wouldn't have spoken.

[mastersduhgree]
