Hi I have owned the cruiser for 5 years the build up took 4 of that . It has a 6.5 chev turbo diesel 700r4 tranny dual transfer cases 203 to a ford 205 with twin stick, custom coil suspension hydro assist steering and the pinion conversion was done buy EXAXT in Canada. And it is the middle of getting hydrolic rear steer. The shop that has done most of the work is Rockymountain offroad in Redeer Alberta Canada. cheers.

I drive it, but they use so much salt on the roads here in the winter I try not to. And for tires I run are 42 inch tsl swampers. cheers. And here are some more pictures.

I DO NOW ;)

hey havik, how much (if any) were the mog axles cut down?
ive been looking at these for a while.
are you still running the drum brake setup or is it converted to disc?
how does it run (with damn heavy axles that will never break)?

thanks

MaccA[/quote] Hi , the mog axles are stock in lenght and yes I am still running the drum brakes with no huge complaints . It runs awsome and with the axles weighing as much as they do it has most of its weight close to the ground. And I have beat the crap out of these axles and I don't think they are breakable . cheers P.S we have about 3 feet of snow how about you !!!
