This idea would work but you'd need to retain the VCU, if an electromagnetic clutch could be grafted onto the rear prop in front of the VCU you'd have selective 2/4wd
Or just replace the VCU?

Yes, you could butcher an X Trail system to fit. Could be fun...

Surely the ratio problem can be overcome by different tyre sizes front to back? And how about using a p.t.o type unit as a lorry might have fitted to engage/ disengage propshaft? Either with a small compressor to operate it, or possibly just a lever to move the fork?
Dispute all of the failings if VCU's they are actually pretty good at doin what they are designed to do.
What's that then? Grinding down bearings or stripping teeth off gears?
