the idea was to make a GMC Jimmy/ K5 Blazer at a 1/10 scale with the inspiration from Nico71 and their truck model.
This beast has the following features

• HOG steering with ackerman steering
• full independent suspension with swaybars
• modified version of landrover gearbox
• working wench
• all wheel drive
• removeable cap

The idea was to make a truck that looks as badass as Nico71's F150 but also be the same size as the lego extreme adventure truck. The general idea ; 

I'm still working on getting all the issues worked out but would like some help.

This is what the model looks like now with current attempt. I went with the last generation of GMC trucks body because i think it looks better and the current generation has alot of weird angles that i cant do with lego.

with the cap on:

The biggest goal was to make the frame as compact and solid as much as possible while still keeping the entire drivetrain contained inside the frame. to do this I used a slightly modified version of the gearbox from Pimp my Landrover thread.

Looks pretty nice! I really love the lime green color!
Are you planning on keeping those wheels? I think something knobbier would look a lot better here.
I see you have the old 2L transmission driving rings meshing with the new red 16T clutch gears, which won't actually work in real life (sadly), so to build it physically you'd have to swap them for the old dark grey design of clutch gear.
Welcome to Eurobricks!

Good work, if you are struggling to fit the 3L drive rings in, I have a file for an off roader that has an 8 speed gearbox. You could just copy bits from that and add in your own bits such as bodywork. PM me if interested, for the file.
