on the pic with the front axle it kinda looks like it has a front driveshaft connector but for some reason it is on the front of the axle.

I have never seen a drive shaft for rockwell axles so i dont know if that is what it is for

It's to power the rearmost axle. It's a lot easier to make 1 third member so they used the same one for front and rear axles.

Of all the hacked up, half a**ed S**T! Wow what some people call "fabrication". In the original pics, the are using a SEAT BELT for a limiting strap?!!?!? But hey they did use the factory tab to mount it.
