    Not sure what the new axle came out of, the guy I got it from had it laying in his field beside a bunch of other junk... Those measurements are from the axle flange to flange.

    You know Jason, i think you need to buy that m170 frame on the GA forum. Then stretch your rig. It is time to supersize goldie.

    Made a little rack in the back behind the radiator to keep a cooler and toolbox on. Just need to find a piece of expanded and bolt it on then paint it all. The battery is mounted underneath it with a little room for another small box. Just ignore my fancy overflow bottle :D
