I'm pretty sure they came (FROM THE FACTORY) with closed knuckle 60s front and 70s rear and a fairly "odd" lug pattern.

yea, i noticed the front has a closed knuckle (kinda like a yota) and has some funky huge 6 lug bolt pattern

What bowtieman said... www.m715zone.com

The axles are D60/D70, open stock, 5.87/5.88 gears. 6 on 7.25 bolt pattern, stock "split rims" are safe, they aren't 'killer rims'. 3 or 4 places you can buy new tubeless wheels in a variety of bucket sizes (stockton, marsh, etc) to fit. Disc conversion kits are available.

The stock motor is 230 cid. Most folks swap out...lots of variety in swaps, I have a 350, some folks do bigblocks, some the 6.2/6.5's, and there are a couple of 4BT's done.

Stock transfer case is NP200 divorced...it's the limiting factor to running highway speeds for any distance due to heat builtup (straight cut gears and offset drive). Many folks swap out to a divorced NP 205 case.

Get it, they're fun!
