Again, it is not comparing interchangeable components, so it does not really matter, as you cannot purchase the AA Orion HD front output housing and install it onto a stock Land Cruiser one-piece transfer case.
You can see that the front housing on the Orion HD is significantly different in design compared to a stock component. But I would wager if you set your truck down on your front driveshaft and provided sufficient leverage to the nose cone that this design or even the ‘famous’ Warden nose cone could be levered off the front of the transfer case.
As far as strength of a split case vs an Orion?
The split case has larger front and rear output shafts, compared to your current Orion. However, if you went to the Orion HD, you would get larger front and rear output shafts, than those used in the split case.
