I pieced them together myself, I had a buddy machine some GM rotors (1/2 ton 4X4) to fit on the backside of the wheel flange, GM small calipers (Monte Carlo) and some generic weld on caliper mounts from a local race shop. i used front FJ60 wheel studs with some slight machining. I removed the stock proportioning valve and installed an adjustable Wilwood unit.

Nice rig. I'd love to hear your thoughts on the widened suspension compared to a stock 40.

Looks really good Paul. You doing any kind of crawl box set up or not? Digging the mini rock crawler 40. I've been looking into them I think I'm going to build my own kinda with the 40 body on an Axial SCX10 chassis. I like how it performs more like a real truck rather than how the Tamiya Chassis is like a monster truck.

I bought an Orion box with a 4:1 gear set, it still needs to be installed.

Nice, yeah I hear a lot of good things about the Orion box. I haven't done much research to see if it would work behind the 5 speed though.
