I guess I'm a bit dull, but what I have I am happy with at the moment anyway!!!!

I wouldn't mind a front locker, upgrade the rear to 24 spline air locker, a dual battery system, RS fiberglass flares and a snorkel, but apart from that Aquarangie goes well off-road.

And as Ragin'Rover brought up, Bosch All round where ALL awitches and functions work consistently. You little beauty!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hijack warning!

Sam, what bits do you need for mog 4WS? I've started to think along these lines, and think I can get a second Volvo set to fiddle with.

Front steering boxes on a shortened rear axle tube, front halfshafts and rear diff would build one fully functional rear steer axle, am I right?

Or do the puzzle for left hand drop and build a badass 4WS portaled P38. How's that for the mall?
