Patria AMV 8x8 WIP

Hello everyone! I started work on this, with the goal of having independent suspension and gearing down after the differential. I have hit a snag, hard to see, but the gearing "cracks" after the diff, because it can move from each other. Its really bad and when geared with 12t and 20t will not even move on level ground under its own power! When geared with 8t and 24t it will move but slightest bumps will cause it to grind gears. There is just no room between the gears and universal joints for reinforcement. You will also probably spot the plastic washer I made to stop the diffs from being torn to a pulp. Many wont approve of this, but I only have 2 good ones left! And need to protect them as they are a little pricy to replace. This does work very well tho. Has anyone succeeded in gearing down after the diff on independent suspension before? Any ideas or advice would be greatly appreciated, at this point I'm going to scrap this and start again, perhaps forget about gearing down after the diff. Thanks
