They make a lot of 4x4 and they should be a bit stronger than the dana 30 copy of the volvo 240 or the real jeep one.

Actually, i think i have changed my mind
going to use the volvo rear end. Because of the gearbox only have 1 gear, and with the planetary reduction gear at the hub, the only place i can change the speed to the wheel is by the diff. Therefore i need 3-4 diff's with each ratio so i get wheel spin from 80kph to 120kph. And because of the 1:1 gearing at the gearbox, instead of the first gear, the rear end will have much less torque. So the strenght of the diff is good enough with standard volvo :-)
If anyone have a list over the different diff ratios for the 1030 and the 1031, i would appreciate to look at it :-)
