Looks more like the drivetrain of his 4wd 1st gen. The rear end is not a 2nd gen rear and the engine looks like a 12a. Threads about this car pop up periodically and someone always asks about the drivetrain and this pic is always reposted.

I really wish there were detailed pics of the 2nd gen 4wd system.

it is possible that for all the work the went through for the front suspension, they have opted to run a solid axle rear since the FB axles has a variety of final drive ratios in comparison to the FC.
