    Check out @dirt addiction's truck on Instagram - it can do most of what a center mount can do with keeping 4x4. He's the_duhtchman on there

    Figured I post here since a lot of first gen people are running 8.4 rear ends. Have a brand new Detroit locker 450$ and brand new gears 4.10 180$. Can pm if interested. Would like to keep it local.

    It’s been done. I’d doubt they have a tw account. Cut the frame off at the firewall and make a new bulkhead.

    But you gotta say :wave: to 4x4

    For $10g's for solo's xlt vs whatever you gotta pay for a quality center mount, I'd stick w/ 4x4.

    Anyone know where to find oem CV axles for “cheap”? I’ve heard aftermarket won’t work with the extended LT axle shafts

    If you're going to center mount and keep 4x4 you might as well go all the way like this trophy truck with two engines - one for the front wheels and one for the rear - now that got me thinking about what I can do with my spare engine...
