6 Wheel disco
muddyjames:
what would be the chances of 6x4 but the middle axle running with no power to it? would it be possible to run the drive shaft over the middle axle?

Even if it was possible look at your avatar pic, imagine that your front wheels are in the bottom of a slippery ditch and your rearmost axle is off the floor.
muddyjames:
are but in that instance gravity helps!!!!
I think it would only work with 6x6 then!?!?!?
freeagent:
the easier way would be to track down a 6 wheels TACR rangie chassis (there must have been some broken up) your disco bodywork will bolt up at the front... then you just need to figure out the rest...
the TACR's were 4 wheel drive, some of the later TACR II's were 6x6...
If you are going to do it from scratch, its do-able, but loads of time, money and effort to do a good job..
there are a few other 6x6 rangerovers around, the Arabs seamed to like them in the 1980's....

If its your dream then just do it, it will be the coolest Disco around, there will be massive hurdles along the way and as mentioned the biggest will be having all your hard work criticised by the boys at VOSA but thats what they are there for, as mentioned I am sure that 9 seats or more now and it is classed as a mini bus!!
