seen it on another site. dont really know anything about it

Never seen nothing like that before. Looks interesting. :icon_saywhat:

It's not the first time I have seen that picture, but there isn't much information anywhere about that system. Looks way to complicated to be practical.

well that is interesting to say the least, i have never seen anything like it.

for sure, nevermind if/when something goes wrong & you need parts, omg lol

Brief technical info here > http://www.freepatentsonline.com/3814201.html

Patent was filed for in 1972. Did a little reading around the net. Seem`s this set-up was used on 4x4 vans.

lol yeah might look good all shined up under a show truck.

Wow. Thats really different. Not too far out there tho. I'm sure ever axle company and gear guy in his basement are thinking up new ways to drive a vehicle. Whats not a fuel problem, could be solved by a drive problem.

Pretty neat. I would like to see how this performed in real world and 4x4 situations.

I'm wondering how he flipped it in his own front yard.

I did a bit of searching myself and found that a lot of them are from Iceland and were Chevy's Ford's. They were mostly used in Emergency vehicles, to keep them low so they aren't as top heavy like a full 4x4 van would be. Something to take a look at lol Clicky
