If its noticable on the photos, the diff pumpkin in way up higher than normal.....just like on the army unimogs.
They run a gear reduction at the hub, sometimes planetary, sometimes just a reduction gearset, which in turn means the axles dont have to be as strong as the torque isnt as great until it reaches the hub.
So you get huge diff pumpkin clearance, without having to run massive tyres, aswell as the gear reduction and no broken axles
Thats how i see it anyway, ive pulled apart unimog ones at work, but never had anything to do with the marks, or maxidrive ones available.
Prices.......they arent even an option for most people, AFAIK they were minimum $15K for the maxi ones (i dont even know if theyre available still) and Marks are even more...

Here you can see how the portal works...
Sadly MaxiDrive is not making any drop boxes anymore and they´re very rare to find, too.

with them been a straght cut gear, do they wine at speeds??
and how dose it handle? it would need custom steering and all that wouldent it
A lot of readers worried about the "noise" made by the gears, but I don´t hear them. Really. All I hear is the thread of the MTs.
You can keep your originial steering. I recommend upgrading the steering damper though.
Handling of the Defender has greatly improved. Even the turning radius is slightly smaller
