I think they're TLT axles, check out the shape of the center. But check this out. If you can zoom in on the picture above my post, on the front suspension you'll notice the shock is fully compressed, not extended like normal. Zoom in on the right picture and you can see the cantilever's shape has the shock mount and tie rod mount on the same side. That's pretty cool! Or I'm wrong. |

I think yer right, looks like the system compresses the shock when a tire drops and extends the coil spring. When the coil spring compresses it extends the shock. Strange, but interesting. |

It appears to me that the axles are TLT-based with slightly different cases (and I'd be willing to bet they're open, and the lockers will be seperate.) I really don't care. I've seen enough. I NEED one. Where do I pre-order? Also, On Tamiyablog.com notice that the Pajero metalTop is slated for Re-re... My wife is going to murder me...

Ummm, too much, no, thank you.  I don't really think that's deserving of high-lift money.
