Done some work on the rear axle. The standard atlas axle will fold up like a deck chair with what I intend on putting through it so I'm gonna run an 8.8 axle from a ranger pickup.
The ranger axle has a long side and short side axle shafts meaning the diff itself is off centred.
Kept an eye on the pick n pull website until another ranger with same axle came in as got the short side axle shaft off it.
Bit of cutting and welding and with two short sides my 8.8 is the same width as the mk1 atlas.
Disc brakes from mustang
Some heavy duty u bolts from the trailer Isle and some spring perches too
Salvaged the shock mount from the ranger and welded to the perch
Bit of paint and there's a pretty cheap indestructible LSD 3.73 ratio rear axle with discs.
