    There is something wrong with his patrol. The rear wheels stop and start spinning. Lsd is stuffed...

    PATROLS RULE...

    Gees the bugger in the video had me fooled for a little while until I put the bifocals onto coke bottle setting.
    After all the work I would have been very very careful with the little rip snorter.

    Video of off roading never captures the angles properly, but even so, I couldnt understand why a Corolla with a decent run up couldnt get up there...not sure what the hell was going on in that vid. Vids are only as good as the whole story. I could for example show you some from my last week up at Fraser - going through Indian Head at just above idle, in the same spots that GU Patrols, 80 and 100 series cruisers were being stuck...right there on video...and take the piss and say it was Discovery power, but the truth of it was probably a combination of technique and the fact that the big tyres on these other trucks probably were not aired down enough (although their diffs do hang down a long way compared to the rest of the undercarriage which cannot help)...but still a funny vid posted here!

    My guess is a little ring ting ting suzuki - the old 2 st one would have crawled up no worries, weight is good on very solid ground, the Paj is lighter so did it easier OR has lockers...good auto lockers are a nice and sneaky mod

    How low where your tyres? I will happily go down to 10-12psi, never seen a problem from it on sand - ever, just drive to suit at all times no matter how hard the sand becomes. Makes a right mess of the competition who often think that 16 is too low.

    FNQ - me and my mate both in manual V8 series II Discoveries were running 265/70/16s with 20 pounds per corner. No need to go lower in the Discos with those tyres and it makes easy work of all conditions. I have towed a 2 tonn dual axle van in soft sand on Straddie before....that got a lot of looks.

    I am surprised by the view of a lot of people who believe the TV adverts that their trucks are unstoppable without lowering pressures. You could go to Fraser after rain and have no problems with higher pressures, but go when its utterly powdery like 2 weeks ago when I went, when no rain for months and cut up from tourists and you have problems without airing down.

    Cheers

    ...of course in soft sand in particular when you drop the pressures you lower the diffs relative to the sand, and if its IFS you drop the arms close to the sand. Its a trade off but lower pressures are the go of course.

    Cheers
