    Better to ask what I have not done.
    I also like that it was a smart ass attempt from @Squeaky Penguin which I appreciate but the people it's meant for hardly commented at all so far.

    Front diff, spider gears, beveled side gears.
    The "X" piece at the top is a locker but I'll be running an open front diff on this build for better steering response.
    Will be filled with 500,000 weight silicone oil.

    Front diff with spider and side gears, filled with 500K silicone oil...
    Which I ended up scooping out as it effectively locked up the diff...way too thick.
    I replaced it with 125K silicone oil and it now spins with some effort to aid in traction but will bias when needed for cornering.


    And many steps later, the front IFS and diff assembly.
