i've often wondered about using a clod axle for a transmission.
i'd love some more details on what you did.

it's pretty much a stock clod axle. the short side only has the one bearing, while the long side has the two bearings. i just trimmed the fat off the plastic. oh, also locked the diff with jb weld

Nice work on the lockouts!:tmb What knuckles were those originally? They kinda look like they were RC4WD units.

That truck looks HUGE! Got any more pics of the mod on the center axle??

Also, clod axle as a trans, beefy looking, and thinking outside the box!
