[QUOTE="TBItoy, post: 759867, member: 1384"] Maybe, maybe not. It is weaker, same as a low pinion in the front. Plus the added stress of the pushing the entire weight of the rig up obstacles. The main issue is you're trying to pull the ring gear with the "wrong" side of the teeth and it's trying to drag the pinion into the diff, relying on the small outer pinion bearing to hold all the power. I'd say it 100% depends on the specs of the buggy and how you drive it. I'd do it in a low power light weight rig. Especially since it wouldn't cost much of anything if you were just gonna weld the diff and run stock gears. Dude just said "I have a buggy", which apparently light weight and has an FJ80 front and 8.8 rear (weird axle combo). [/QUOTE]
