Made some progress....

I'm gonna go ahead and do this swap in the next couple of months. Current situation is an 091 mated to a J35a4. My question is, can I re-use anything like the starter, adaptor plate, clutch/pressure plate?  I know I'll be doing some fab work and buying new axles. 

I went with a set of Yokohama 33" and had em buffed. I wanted M.T.'s but they are hard to come by these days.

Boardmanville shared a video on Instagram showing a monster truck, I believe from a Monster Energy video or something. This got me thinking....Does anyone remember waaaay back in the mid to late 80's when a bunch of the big name monster trucks came out to Glamis? I remember they were all staged...

So I decided to tear one side off today. It seems to me that cutting these inner mounts off and replacing them with new, thicker mounts with better gussets would be the way to go. I'll position them to hopefully get the desired result.  I'll also be replacing the bolts with the correct shoulder...

 What are the pros and cons of having a VW style outer pivot point vs a dual bushing style? I get there is a bit of adjustment using a heim joint. Is there a strength or longevity benefit? I have a car that's had negative camber from the start. It's using VW style outer pivots.  I can't acheive...

I've been pretty consistent since 1983. Missed a few seasons in the mid 90's when my family gave it up. Took me a few years to build a new group and been duning with them ever since.
