At least the parts will be available.

Certainly worth getting diagrams / specs for the assembly (and a price!) ...

They weren't exactly keeping a low profile! They were on a civvy road train!

I though LRPV too but it could be some kind of launching system too perhaps.

Yes as I mentioned above!

Diana :D

I still call LRPV.
CG label is well forward. Compare with the obviosly heavy Command(?). Mid rear wheels, the DC ute is just fore of the middle axle.
#3 is up to the cab, indicating it is not designed to carry many '000s of kgs. Empty locker space looks right for 3 jerries
I would have expected a launch vehicle would have MORE OHP, not a canvas top.
Time will tell.
Cheers, Dave.

In relation to Ben and my discussion (above), is there any chance of accessing information about the 6X6 G-Wagen through drive, diff and axle specs of the 2nd axle assembly?

Diana

depends.......

if you were to ask nicely I might know a bloke whose qualled to repair them I could ask.

I'll come up and remove any Defender windscreens you may require removing and even buy a sausage sanga and a tinny to drink so you can supervise in comfort! :D

in a nutshelll...

its the same as a through drive on a truck but instead of driving a top end worm or down bevel it drives a standard pinion setup. more accurately think of it as the LT230 center diff with the drive input from the Tcase coming in the nose, going through the spiders out the back to drive the rear and the diff center casing driving the center axles diff pinion.

IMHO the weak link is the power divider (being the diff between the diffs) but thats relative.... Overall driveline strenght is up northwards of sals gear except at the front. The actuation system for all the locks is overcomplicated but easy enough to make sensible and theres been problems with windup preventing release which has taken out axles.

So this has a rear pinion driving on the back of the crownwheel?

If Yes? I take it is a 6X4 selectable 6X6?

My current system is a lockable power-divider diff with a morse chain drive to the second axle (modified Rover) diff and a second parrallel through drive shaft beside the Rover pinion driving to a flange in a similar position to the G-Wagon.
