Not "Jeep" but 4wheel. I do like the bullgear system used to get serious ground clearance.link of the day.

I think we call them "Portal Axles" over here FWIW. I've only ever seen them on the Mercedes Unimog (and I'd love to have one). That one seems much more hardcore than the unimog one though !

That is a fascinating web site - plains, trains and automobiles. Geez. Thanks!
Very interesting! Looks like those are more than the Unimog portal axles. Looks like they actually run a shaft at 90 degrees down to the center of the wheels. Most portal axles I think just use some gears to get down a little ways.
Wanna try that in English, Teranews Lardbutt?
About 1000 'quakes happen every day, Mr Seismologist.
No biggie.

Now go wipe your ass, if you can reach it.
Hi Bill,
Yes, that was the topic of conversation for the whole day, as they aren't that common here ! We only get them every 10 - 20 years (although the last one was only a couple of years ago and had its epicentre only 10 miles from where I was).
Dave
