Thanks, fellas! Good to know I can drill out the leafs if I need to. Last time I tried that, I was drilling through a lawn mower recoil spring and maybe my bits were old, but it didn't drill worth a darn.

Now I just need to determine what kind of transfer case I want to use to determine the orientation of the front axle.
