Can see it better in this picture post some progress pics too enjoyed meeting you yesterday

Y'all need some FJ80 axles for that! (and a motor/trans/tcases/etc)

I can make you a package deal on a drivetrain if you don't already have one.

I had (have technically, although just a chassis now) the nissan axle one.

I had a very similar setup to what you described. If I did it again, I'd use a 4.3 and th350 to a stock geared toy case.

I felt like 4.7 alone was too low and high range wouldn't pull.

By the way (shameless plug coming) I still have the chassis and need to get rid of it :fish:
