While reading the board on up grading 6x6's and improvements from the factory. I came up with my own wish list. Start with the new engine and trany from the Honda Rubicon, belt drive direct to the T-20, no need for the torque converter. Then use kelvar belts like on the big hogs instead of the drive chains. Smaller sprockets, less stretching, spring loaded pully tensioners, allows for higher ground clearance. Much quieter operations. Just a thought.

Dwight,
I like your idea on the kelvar belts I would like to give it a try myself.
