i would have put big money on us being right Dave,  back in the day i used to swap front and rear diffs on landrover almost on a daily basis as they exploded when you went over a speed hump       its a common misconception that  front and rears are different  the fact that you rotate it to face the other way  means it will turn in the direction that you require,
anyway your buggy looks like it has great potential  and is firing my enthusiam   i had my tyres dropped of my rims yesterday so i can get them shot blasted ,  do you remember this ?

It was Alan Chambers    or Diesel destroyer as he posted under, he lives in chatanooga now,  it has arb difflocks front and back  with DG tuning shafts and vw diesel engine, hence  my desire to use those axles with those mach 5 wheels

It looks a little worse for wear now   but  its axles will live again,   there's a spare jimny alloy on it if you want it for a spare

seeing your bits laid out on the floor   makes me want to change track with mine, i was going to go completely standard jimny chassis and suspension  just to speed things up   but now im thinking i could make my own  but i doubt i could make something as light as a suzuki chassis and as strong  so im going round in circles lol

what engine and transmission are you planning on using ?
