        looks like traction control and lockers were the order of the day.
        had an 03 gx 120 with some gear now got a 2013 bt 50 GT auto some ARB gear.

          Yes that's right samo, those wombat holes can be traversed in 'normal' 4wd's but you have to be trying a helluva lot harder & the possibility of CV joint failure is very high :twisted: . Even Nissan Patrols with their supposedly legendary rear LSD's still have trouble getting through. Come to think of it, my old G60 would have had no chance at all :!: Traction control/diff locks make the world of difference

          Cheers,

            Not at all Glenn - it's more fun without lokkers
