I made a Mini truck/Cruiser Hybrid Axle.. It uses Minitruck Shafts and the outer parts of the mini housing, and uses the Cruiser Center section of the housing, and a Cruiser 3rd member.

Although if i was to do it all over again, i would not hesitate to put in a stock Mini truck Axle. Id keep the Drums(that way i would have a parking brake), and the minitruck 3rds hold up to alot of abuse.. Gears are cheaper, and spare parts easier to come by, plus you get a bit more ground clearance..
thanks for the compliments guys, i have alot more work do do Before Cruise Moab!
