Hmm, I have seen a pic somewhere of a Range Rover with two front axles and
it just does not take my fancy !!

Ok I will try and explain, standard Land Rover 4x4 gearbox and t/box, out of
the rear prop output of Landy t/box goes into a seperate t/box with 2 prop
outputs ( 1 and 2 ) to the rear, output (1 ) drives into another separate
t/box with 2 prop outputs ( 3 and 4 ) to the rear, so you now have three
prop flanges which connect to the axles thus:-
output ( 2 ) drives axle 2, output ( 3 ) drives over axle 2 on a carrier to
the side of the diff case on to axle 3, and output ( 4 ) drives over axle 2
on the other side of the diff case and over axle 3 to one side of the diff
case on to axle 4.
Does that help at all
