There's no hard 4x4ing in the tops that I know of, just a little mud. It's more of a get away and to enjoy the change of scenery (1,200m altitude). Last time I had a Grand Vitara with sagging original suspension, D694's and it was well suited except for one mud hole - it completely bottomed out so took the chicken track instead. Another vehicle with 32" MTZ's got through everything with ease.

No worries Glenn. Steven, I'm keen for some easy/medium stuff till I have 80 series kitted out. I don't need any exploding diffs just yet.

oh and i finally got to use the winch the other day. Decided to check out riverstone seeing i was going past it. WOW it has been chopped up out their pretty bad. Just trying to get in i was left with the front wheels hanging in the air and with no tree infront of me i thought i was screwed till i noticed a little shrub with a trunk about 20cm round. With nothing else thier i hooked up the which and away i went (must have had deep roots). Their is some massive bog holes their now and i didnt even check out up the top.150 prado V6, yokies 32"s, bullbar, towbar, 2" lift, snorkel, diff breathers, e.r.p, winch, 14"s of lcd...hummm now what
