Last truck had LSD in it it worked a treat but chewed out tyres. If I do this I was thinking dif locks so I can switch it on and off.
Thanks for the suggestion though. they can be a great advantage as I have found out on several occasions. I didd not want to get rid of my old ute but my wife insisted that 15 years old with 350,000 km on the clock was not a good look :-( I thought it was just starting to look good!
Does that theory go for the WIFE as well ?
I know that when mine clock up a few miles, I trade 'em, AND I remind them of it.

MMMMM thats interesting she actually wanted me to trade in the old model that I was comfortable with and loved for a newer shiny more expensive one. Is there a moral or an immoral there somewhere?
Na I really cannot afford more expensive toys, I never get time to play with what I have now:-(
sand certainly works the 4x4 hard. last week I did probably an hour in soft sand and the hilux certainly felt it. I have an auto hilux 3.4V6 2003 model and in high range it gets on top of the sand and goes okay (not too much power to bog down), but when I hit really soft patches it just bogs down and eventually will stop. throw into low range and it'll kill everything, but top speed is crap (obviously) and of course chews fuel.
Auto should be good on sand and is, but on long sandy stretches of soft and medium sand can be a little annoying (constant changing).
Of course I was too lazy to let the tires down (coopers AT) (didn't have time to pump them back up again (was in a rush) and didn't try selecting 2nd gear in high range and leaving it (probably would have worked well).
Gday cookie,
Lettin the tyres down is the answer if its not too soft .dowm to 18/20lbs makes a big difference.I came down frazer once when the tide was in and used twice the fuel as when runnin on the wet stuff at low tide.The ol hilux was ok in H4 only had to go for the big ones at indian head etc.Most of the way was in H4 second,hence the fuel usage,its important to be in low before it starts diggin itself in.too late when the diffs draggin.momentum is also important.
BTW i've been bogged in the most unlikely places.not concentrating in the job ahead.very embarrassing..
Phil,
an LSD will get ya a bit further,bur the same applies for them and 4wd.when ya got them ya get REALLY bogged.not half bogged.THank god for Snatch straps!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Has anyone seen or used these?
Never seen them, don't see how they help in sand. Legal, if out side of wheel arches no, inside? ask NSW RTA, their rules on wheel fitment does not allow spacers between wheel and hub for sure and may stop any thing being put onto to wheel studs.
I use snow tyres.

There is evidently an Australian distributor. I will contact him and let you know any details.
They look interesting for mud and stuff but I cannot see how they work on sand.
