[QUOTE="onetoncrawler, post: 743456, member: 846"] that's understandable. the rzr being a rear engine with independent suspension and only weighting ~1,700 lbs is going to be a big difference over a solid axle rig with the same tire size and wheel base. With a v8, TH350 and NP205 you are looking at doubling your weight probably. for reference, most people that run 120" WB run at least a 39" tire, if not a 43". For tires that size with V8 power and weight you will definitely want to steer clear of Toyota axles. In my opinion you need to make a decision.....do you want a small, rzr like buggy that is light weight and reacts similar to a rzr, just stronger....... or do you want a V8 trail rig... I don't think you can have both and make it live. look up Brian Milsap's Ecotech buggy. That's a good example of a small lightweight buggy that you could run Toyota axles in. Shorter WB that what you are wanting, lighter drivetrain, but would be nimble like a rzr. Good luck :dblthumb: [/QUOTE]
