You should see the transfer case, no kidding its bigger than a VW engine and is made by a Vickers offshoot for an armoured car. Certainly one tough 4WD.

They were popular with mining exploration companies,minesite transport and off-road tourist coaches.The bodies were all modular,ranged from single cab,dual cab,triple cab,bus and ambulance bodies.
Shame they are not still made.
Very tough,biggest problem was they were a tad overweight.

Pretty right but they are still being made. Tare weight varies with configuration, anything from 3.5 tonne up, I think, with a GVM of 5500.
Drove ours back from Sydney VFL Grand Final weekend, rotten weather and got 13.5l/100Km which I didn't think was too bad. 100Km/hr is about 2100rpm in 5th gear.
Mine cost under $30K, had no off road work and has done 160,000Km only.
