Yes its a flying machine when the prop is off, steering is ultra light. REMEMBER your insurers will not cover you if the car is involved in an accident with prop off.

Downside of LR producing a perm 4x4 vehicle, the other SUV's on the market have 2 or 4 wheel drive selection, electronic or mechanical.

Ming - if you ever make one on your planet I'll be the first to purchase a 2/4 wheel drive system LOL
 
wot we want is a dog clutch (sorry porky) on the prop system - bet someone on here cud design one :)

Er yep a solenoid operated would be the dogs dingles [sorry Porks]. . .
 
Yep that would do, surely someone can reproduce that setup.

It is probably only an American patent meaning that it would not be covered in the UK or elsewhere. Its a bit like the 5speed gear boxes that were available by Jack Knight for the old school mini.

An after market product would sell like hot cakes
 
That reminds me, a customer of mine in (Censored) that makes precision gears (next door to a Land Rover Spares outlet) <ahem> told me a little story. During lunch time they machine Mecchano gears, nuts, bolts etc from the scrap bin and flog 'em on e-bay ;)

I remember when the first Subaru's came on the market overhere (no Ming, this is no dad's army story), they were FWD and with a lever next to the gearstick you could put it in 4wd. Something similar would be nice.

Ming wud prefer summat electric. might have to be interlocked with the handbrake so it cant be switched on whilst moving.

To avoid that you could mount the lever on the roof??:D

coz if yu switched on the dog-clutch with the propshaft turning - it would be like trying the starter motor with the engine running - not very effective!
So yu wud have to stop to engage 2 or 4wheel drive - hence an interlock - I just thought handbrake would be an easy system to use.
