OK well I think I found my answer to the TOD question via this thread:
http://www.vehicross.info/forums/showthread.php?t=17667

So I take it the VX has an open front diff and a limited slip rear diff. The TOD system is basically a electronic center diff that direct's the torque to either the front or rear of the vehicle depending on drive shaft speed sensors detecting the slip.

Also from that thread answered my transfer case question, it's a center diff with electronic limited slip. But when put into 4wd low it locks the center diff to split torque 50/50 front and rear with no slip.

So in 4wd high the vehicle is basically like an AWD rear wheel drive biased vehicle.

Correct me if I'm wrong.

Thanks.

That sounds right to me Doc...

Welcome to the forums...

Rear axle is a 12 bolt with limited slip. Lockers are available for both the front and rear axles.
There is a current thread where member "Ascender" is in the work of putting a 60/14 bolt in his VX along with a drivetrain swap.
Other front axle swap option is the Dana 44 from a 78-79 waggy...passenger drop and the correct width to match our rear 12 bolt.
Here is the info on the steering...

The Vehicross uses a recirculating ball type steering box, along with a vaiable-assist power unit. This provides the VehiCROSS with smooth accurate steering but, minimizes the potential to have the wheel jerked out of your hand when driving on rough pavement or off-roading.

Steering Ratio = 20.1:1

Turning circle = 34.1ft (Curb to curb)

Other VX specs can be found HERE

To me, the VX is a poor choice for an offroad vehicle, if that is what you are after. Don't get me wrong, it does really well for a stock vehicle and does even better with a small lift and taller tires. But it is a VERY limited platform to build from IMHO.

Negatives:
Outward visibility straight up sucks.
The wheelbase is a bit short for ascents and descents.
IFS does not flex well.
The tranny is weak.
CV's are weak.
Parts are hard to come by.

Positives:
Unique.
Wheelbase works great for ledges and maneuverability.
Low slung which helps compensate for the lack of wheelbase.
Rear linked and coiled axle flexes great.
Seats are comfortable.
Fun to own and drive and wheel.

With all that said, several people here have a great time wheeling their VehiCri, me included, but as a trail rig, it's easy to find something better but hard to find something as unique. Good luck!
