^^ Exactly what I was concerned about with such a large vehicle being hauled around with an electric motor and the inherent torque involved. All of my larger vehicles that use center diffs have this issue. To keep the diff from unloading, almost putty-like fluid is necessary. At the same time, grinding that stuff around in a diff causes incredible heat build-up.

Arct1k: I'll be curious to see what the outcome with that proposal. Stronger gears (from a baja rear diff, I presume) while more durable to withstand the stresses and heat involved, isn't exactly a solution in my opinion.
