Hey Gregg,
there are definitely a few challenges with this project, however I have already designed a transfer drive system to drive the front wheels independently. The main issue now is that I have to build a completely new custom chassis that is wider than my std chassis and utilises the AWD running gear and suspension, ABS, stability control, traction control etc.., so I am hoping to start on that shortly and get the motor/trans and diff assembly, suspension set up etc.. mounted in place to prove the design, then disassemble again to complete the chassis and so on..
I can honestly say that I thrive on these sorts of projects, as I only tend to sleep for 3-4hrs a night - the rest of the time i'm thinking about my projects.. lol
Will post more photos as I progress the chassis build, then I have to manufacture the drive system for the front wheels and prove it also..
Now that I have started I am keen to keep progressing this build... Stay tuned
Cheers
