Answer from owner.
It’s been regeared to 4.88. That was verified by ORI in Winchester, VA if you want to ask. Dana axles front and rear. It’s a 2.4L built for crawling out in AZ so, beefier axles weren’t really needed beyond some welded reinforced bracing, which you can see in the pics. It’s a great build that would benefit from a small block engine swap given it’s no longer used for crawling here in this area.
p.s. Who knew, beefier axles weren't really needed for AZ crawling?

That 2.4 doesn't put out much torque, but Dana 30 stock shafts don't need big torque to make them go bang, but I guess as long as all you're doing is letting the gears do the work over obstacles....
4.88s and 35s means it isn't crawling that slow either... I had 4.56 and 33s and wished I had gone lower with my '97 2.5 4 popper...
