Land Rover 6x6

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.

Land Rover frame 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.
