Guess I've had this truck long enough I can finally show what little I've done to it. The axial tranny still had the stock motor plate, which would flex under any sort of bind and kill spur gears. I had a VF motor plate laying around, so that went on to keep the gears in check. While I had the tranny out, I decided to build it opposite from stock so that the rear driveshaft is as straight as possible to prevent carnage.
I also thought it could use more weight up front, so I picked up some Integy Clod knuckles and ground the stops off them. Next came a few hours with a 3" hole saw and some 1/2" steel plate.

Fits perfectly inside the wheel and adds a s***load of weight to the front end

I can't believe I wanted to sell it. Everytime I drive it I get more and more impressed with how capable it is

I think you should have sold it

Meh you finally got one too. I'm thinking about 3 linking the front end similar to yours for some more room in the chassis
