1. I thought that the diff shaft and xfer case shaft should be parallel to each other to reduce vibration, or something like that. The first photo shows this not to be the case. I could be wrong though, please educate me if I am.
That's true for a driveshaft using u-joints, but u-joints have a limited operating range that this exceeds. To get around that you start using CV joints in the driveshaft. It looks like it's set up for a double-cardan CV joint at the transfer case. With that type of driveshaft the pinion should be pointed at the transfer case output shaft like they have here. These aren't the wimpy little CV joints we have in the halfshafts either. Most rockcrawling buggies use double cardan driveshafts without problems.
