Nixpus: Nice work on the straps though I hope they don't get too beaten up underneath.

With the locked center diff it should wheelie great. What do you think might be the problem?

Bmr4life: Benefits of converting to a Center Diff
- gives you flexibilty to change the internal layout of the Savage, usually for the better
- gets away from the troublesome stock slipper and it's mount
- simplifies the center gearing so less potential issues there
- less gearing friction loss
- less weight than a center gearbox
- depending on the individual build it can make the Savage much much easier to work on (my CD drops straight out the bottom with a few screws)

I don't particulary agree on completely locking a CD though I have never tried it myself. I run Ofna diff lock fluid so that I have a at least some end to end shock dissipation. It will be interesting to see how Nixpus's driveline stands up to a locked CD.

Gearing options usually turn out to be similar depending on what spurs are available\fit. Mine is geared close to what the stock gearbox gives.
