Is that it, or does a West Coast drive entail more than that?

Also, what are the performance implications (positive or negative) of the use of such a drivetrain?
6WD, drop center wheel directly driven from the gearbox. A modified version is to do a chain to the center as well as the rest.

6WD "drop" drive has a pile of implications that are out here.
