Hi guys,
I’ve been trying to buy an intermediate axle for a 6x6 but can’t find one or no company will sell me one without sending my truck for a conversion $35 upto $60k even though I explain my truck is already a 6x6

I own an ex Australian army Land Rover 110 “Perentie” 6x6 that has a 4bd1t I want to change out the LT95 4speed gearbox for a 5/6speed gearbox (auto or manual) but in doing this I lose my 6x6 function
I see a lot of f450 & 550’s, jeeps, dodges chevies using for 9” drive through axles but my GVM is up around 12000lbs & GCM towing my RV Up near 18000 lbs so don’t think the 9” would handle the loads but then I can’t find one for sale anyway
So has anyone here know where I could find an intermediate axle that would fit in my truck capable of these loads or a company that would actually just sell the axle/diff? I was thinking the heavy duty 460/550 diffs would work but can’t find anything on them

Roy,
The gearbox is a Land Rover LT95A
The problem is that the gearbox & transfer case are one piece which makes it difficult to divorce.
The front & middle diffs are constant 4x4 with a vacuum activated diff lock in the transfer case & the rear diff is driven from a selectable pto activated drive to give you 6x6

Hopefully you get an idea or just google LT95
1 - is front diff
2 - middle diff
3 - rear diff
Front & middle are constant 4x4 & rear diff is selectable for 6x6
3 drive shafts out of the gearbox
Transfer case & gearbox are one casting as explained earlier, it is possible to cut the gearbox in half then machine the faces down
