They're tough enough but pretty funky. For a full hydro linked buggy it won't be that big of a deal to put them in. You'll need pinion flanges to get rid of the torque tubes. You'll need b/p specific wheels no smaller than 17" unless you plan on changing hubs and brakes.
If you plan on doing any major mods to them I suggest skipping it and just doing a 60/14-60-70-etc combo.
The major mods kill the deal.... you can then have killer one tons for much less. | |

| | Re: Unimog Whats your opinion on the axles. (14th Aug 09 at 7:25pm UTC) | | | i got my mog axles for 1200( one steering one not) the pinion flanges were 200 a piece and there were tons of steel wheels available for a reasonable price... but most were 20 in wheels . that screws you for tires. other than that they have gears and lockers ready to go. i would say its a toss up. | |
