it was not baby oil it was baby shampoo i was wondering how the baby oil had escaped from the bedroom
baby shampoo is widely used in the sign industry for applying frosted film to windows, perfectly legitimate to have that in my workshop
good point with the vitara box the middle and front axle would always be connected leading to wind up on hard surfaces
you could just put the vitara box into 2wd and only the rearmost axle would drive

Les just a thought if you google 6x6 Land Rover Perentie you'll find some videos showing how Land Rover gets the drive to both axels. Just a thought.
and this guy gives a good idea of how you could set up the springs.
i will have a read of those lets see whats what
i had the idea of 2 sj/jimny transfer boxes side by side chain drive from the input of the original one to the input of the secondry one so they always work as a pair in unison, that way you can have the first box in 2wd high and the secondry box in neutral that way only the middle axle would drive, first box in 4wd and the front and middle axle drive, add in the second box and the rearmost axle comes ito play, the front output could run to power a small capstan winch on the front bumper which would be easy to make out off a diff
does that work ??
