Land Rover 6x6
|
This is a rather unusual
variation on the Land Rover
Perentie 6x6.
It has what at first glance appears to be the standard
Land Rover station wagon body but notice the high roof
and the extra wide B-pillar with a window added.
This 6x6 has the normal Land Rover
Defender
firewall and windscreen but the one
behind it has the widened bodywork and larger windscreen
more common on army models.

The 6x6 Land Rover's chassis is quite unique
being fabricated from galvanised square section
steel tubing as seen here.
Rear axles carry Salisbury differentials
and have a wider track than that of normal Defenders.
The front axle track is standard on some 6x6s
and wider to match the rear
on those 6x6s having widened front bodywork
such as the LRPV.

The third axle is driven from the transfer case power takeoff (PTO).
It passes over the second axle and incorporates a c.v. joint at this point.
The rocker linking the rear leaf springs can just be seen at the top of
the picture.
