Mrap axles on a Deuce?

[Mandalore]

Ok so my neighbor down the street keeps talking to me about a TV show called Diesel Brothers and how they do military stuff on their show. Personally I had never heard of it before but the other night I am flipping through the channels and I happen to see that it was on so I flipped over to it. Seems like they throw a pair of Mrap axles under everything they do and it got me to thinking, has anyone put some on a deuce? Out side of the carry capacity would there be any reason to? Just seems like over kill to me, but it was just something that ran through my head before bed.

Unless they have a better gear ratio, I see no reason for the effort/expense.

better gear ratio but the pinion is on the wrong side for a deuce

I just thought it was kind of a funny thought. I looked it up via google and found that someone did it to a bobber. Looks weird to me. Anyways just thought it was entertaining as i drifted off to sleep.

Great ratio, 5.86 Axletech 3000 series open carrier with no locker. The 4000 series has air lockers, both have steel housing you can weld on, and wide and narrow width. 13 1/4 bolt pattern.

Wow, the 4000 sounds like a great swap.

If your going to do any axle swiping or modding this is the best for strength one day I hope I can afford it

If your going to do that, do it right, use all of the meritor stuff and use just the rockwell top load chuck.
