Here's a weird question... vertical t-case

[Dirtman]

My brother in law is building a "swamp buggy". He has a front and rear axle with center pumpkins. 4 wheel steer. But obviously it needs a t-case that drops both front and rear driveshafts the centerline of the vehicle, not offset like a normal 4x4 I said i can make an adapter to clock a case at any position but im worried about oiling issues. Say for example a np205 made to run at 180 degrees wont be oiled right at 90 degrees.

Anyone know of a tcase that can run sideways, aka dropped down so both shafts are on center? Ground clearance is NOT an issue.

Ive read NP208's with the case filled should work even though its still offset.

Or a divorce tcase with a custom cluster for the input shaft to work off normally output for the front drive shaft.

In you look on Pirate, there have been a number of rigs built with np205s clocked vertically. And there are adapters out there to clock transfer cases every 15 degrees (should you not want to make your own).
