What do yall think of running Rearends from a small front loader. There's alot of clearance there which would help me out a great deal. If you think it would work I will find out much a set would cost me.

Your thinking Unimog portal axles,extra cleance right?

Check this out you crazy fool. 20 acres of earth moving equipment parts and it's only about a 4.5 drive from the house.

Something like these.

mike albo

thats a worm gear axle,right?

bigomudders

I honestly dont know what their called.

winston427

They are called freakin heavy

mike albo

I think its a worm gear that pivots in the center,so all you would need is long travel shocks.

Depending on cost of Diff's I was going to set them like a reg. Diff

Unless you plan on running monster truck tires why even bother, even 1-ton axles like Ford 10.5 or a 14 bolt are overkill for Jeeps, im sure these would be more so. And also, they probably dont handle higher speeds very well, they are meant for slow moving equipment.

bigomudders

Because my build is for rocks and hills not mud and it will be trailered. And the tires on this set up are no bigger than 37's

Well it sure would be different.

mike albo

I don't know off hand if you can even change the gear ratio's in those axles,I could be wrong.It would make for an interesting rig though.

bigomudders

I wanna find out what gear ratio is in those.
