   It sure does. One other thought is that maybe it is part of a dually connector assembly, but I doubt it.

   With that digger on there it might have a dana 60 or 70 for a rear axle.

   The engineering is top notch, you got to have some kind of background to do this, admirable indeed. Having said that, with all that extra added weight, what was done to improve suspension? I doubt those stock Jeep leaf springs could hold up under all that extra weight.

   I’m impressed….& green. Gonna guess he’s got a PTO on a 4sp. tranny or it’s xfer case. Doubt that a pulley drive would handle all dat juice. No turns while bucket’s down?!

   Anyone recognize the front hubs? They might be Thor Electric hubs, as the shape is the same, but I don’t think they were ever red: http://www.ewillys.com/2017/04/09/thor-products-white-automotive-whitco/

    Looks really cool, but that’s some serious steel on the back end.
