Straight Axles???

Anybody look into this yet? I'd love to put some Danas under the SMART and be the first to run the Rubicon in a SMART.

the clutch will give up 1st

the ecu has torque limiting maps to prolong the life of the drivetrain and limits torque to 120nm this of course dosent matter if your not making 120nm but in remapped turbos 160nm is easily achieved

I've heard Currie holds free axle giveaway promotions sometimes. I wonder if they could make up something that would work. You really think something like a hardcore Dana would be needed though?

A 1000 cc or so motorcycle engine should provide plenty of power.
