@RCP57 Since you run "off road" the driven front axle is almost a must. My 6x6 quarry dump truck has all three axle locked and does very good to the point I go looking for stupid stuff to get stuck in! 2 things I have found playing around with drive systems:
1) Having the right tires, I have the same tires that Craig has in the picture Above and they are great off road, excellent flotation and traction.
2) A good working suspension, I added leafs to the front suspension so it doesn't bottom out and lock up and built my own rear for maximum articulation to keep equal weight and all tires on the ground getting traction. I would like to Craig suspensions articulation, it looks good.

Very aware of the pins and bolts being prototypical but thank you. I will do some articulation photos when I get wheels, saving up for some of Steve's wheels!
