Sweet Daf. Killer truck as usual. Is that center diff and motor mount strong enough being mounted to the bottom skid plate like that? Looks pretty good, but it took me a couple minutes of looking to realize that it was only attached at the bottom skid plate. Probably makes for easy maintenece that way. Drop the skid and the whole diff and motor assembly drops out.

I guess it's beefy enough. Only time will tell though. Not much different than some of the buggy setups we did, 4 screws from the bottom, the two bulkheads joined by a brace (2 standoffs in this case)... you know, like some of the motor-on-top buggy setups... should do the trick. In the worst case we'll have to come up with a motor-support-kinda-thingy. Let's see.
