    There's a big difference between tail happy and donuts.

      Thanks to Steve M & other guys to share skills & experience with us.
      it's quite interesting to see different ppl have different experience, even my friend actually applied low range all the way to his LC200, others uses normal same as me.

        Actually....... NO!, why would anyone want to do that, it just like to people that think it is fun to do burnouts on the streets. it will not take much for things to get out of control and kill someone.
        If you want to do stuff like that there are tracks you can hire for the day, or get your club to hire out a performance driving centre and cut loose there. If you want to go one further, build yourself a race truck/car and have fun at a meet.

            Nothing to do with being politically correct

            Having spent 13 years doing accident rescue, its all fine till someone gets hurt and unfortunately its often not the idiot behind the wheel.

              I do the right thing on the tracks, but I'd love to let loose in a soggy paddock with rear locker on!! (and front driveshaft removed) Unfortunately not many property owners like that idea.

                      I'd just like to point out that the AWD system in the Prado doesn't have an open centre differential they use a Torsen diff. In a non VSC equipped Prado you would probably get away with not locking the centre diff and that has been my experience on Stockton beach and others.

                      As for hooning - bring on the Darwin Awards - except it's often not the driver who gets to remove their DNA from the gene pool.
