A mate of mine has a hz 2 tonner and was hoping to run 2 working diffs. is there some sort of drive through diff system? he currently has a single 10 bolt sols and trailer axel (sort of) setup for the rears. any ideas?

I suppose it can be done.. you see HQ's etc running around with 2 axle setups..
Dont know how it works though.. would like to know!

there is a place call PROMAC ENGINEERING in cardiff near newcastle that made a eight wheeler wb one tonner a few years ago. they had two 9" diff connected together and just a single axle behind that. give them a call and remind them of the red wb eight wheeler they done. maybe only done using 9" diffs ???

Used to drive a hj 2 tonne ute and looked into duel drive.The best way would be to source some landrover diffs(ex army ambos) and cut them down.
the other way is pretty difficult as you need your pinion shaft to go right through diff centre to drive the rear diff.if you just mounted a plate on the back of the diff and drove off the crown wheel,your input to the back diff would be turnin the wrong way.
Good luck if u attempt it,but i think it would b pretty expensive.
P.S you would need to drive it pretty carefully as those utes have a heap of understeer as they are(2 wd).4wd would give it even more push
