This thing is very cool, has a small engine running the hydraulics and two hydraulic pumps, one mounted to each axle so no driveshafts.

Nice hose work... I think the one in the second photo is a tad short. Oh BTW the pumps on the diffs are actually motors...

..That's a very good point. Infact maybe even more work considering the whole axle is a custom job. At least tyres would be cheaper
