is the panhard going to give you grief being welded to the pumpkin? Guess there isn't much room for wiggle there...pretty amazing stuff...

The pumpkin mount I have been thinking in back of my mind that may not be the best option. I have been working on a mount that uses the third member studs, as Lowrecoil30 suggested.
Appreciate the feedback. Space is a premium now, I am amazed I've fit what I have already. Still need to mount 4 shocks somewhere, haha.

The plan is a divorced t-case between existing t-case and first axle. Then run a second rear shaft via carrier bearing mounted on top of first axle going to the rear most axle.
Below is a picture of the plan.

Started the new track bar mount for the rear out of 1/4" plate. All I was able to do tonight. Once finished I will get longer studs.

So what kind of transfer case has two rear out puts? Like some thing from and existing dual rear axles?

Whoops!
In his diagram it looks like the plan is the power the second transfer case via what would normally be the rear output - this leaves the front output and transmission input both facing the rear of the vehicle.
Stupid question. With two transfer cases facing opposite ways, will the front axle and the rear ones spin the tires in the same direction?

Yes, but the rear transfer case will be running reverse rotation. How long can a transfer case run reverse rotation with power applied... I don't know that answer. Researching, it's been done before using a NP205, but with only short term review.
Why not run a divorced NP205 in normal orientation and convert it to have two rear outputs? Looks like a NP200 offset rear output will bolt into a NP205.

That reverse rotation mess doesn't seem like a good idea, especially considering that you won't be able to shift the reverse rotation case:

Will definitely look more into that route. Thanks!

Very interesting! One hell of a challenge too! Good luck chuck! We are looking forward to your progress.

X2 on not running a TC in reverse rotation.

Converting to a 2WD transmission might make the divorced 205 a bit easier, definitely going to need a carrier bearing on the front driveshaft though.
2WD Nv4500 with a Dodge gas input and an adapter plate between that and your 2H bellhousing comes to mind as a good option for a manual 2WD transmission that has overdrive and decent road gearing.

Let me know if you need a np200 I know where one is at might cost some $ to ship or look for a m715 military truck if my memory is correct that' where I got mine

I have thought about using the guys out of the 200 and putting them in a maited 205 for an ls swap so no need for an expensive adaptor.

Metal work resumed today. Worked on trackbar mounts for both axles. Was able to make a mount off the third member mounting studs (still need to get longer studs) and mocked up the mounts for the front axle.
Center axle trackbar has an "s" bend in it to clear fuel tank. To prevent accidental rotation and damaging the tank, I made the frame end using old spring hangar bushing and sleeve.
More work tomorrow. Hoping to be able to move it on front shaft power.

I really don’t like that panhard mounted to those studs like that Eric, there’s going to be a lot of force going through there.
I think you’d be a lot better putting maybe a 45-degree bend at the end of the tube and putting a mount on top of the housing like you did on the more forward axle.
And remember, the longer and flatter you can make those panhards the better.
EDIT I see now the joint will hit that crossmember if you did what I described. Any reason you can’t have a mount on the housing that angles forwards ?
