    Great bit of driving, very in touch with what the vehicle is / can do. Did you notice the air 40 mm galv air breather? Classic!

    A cobber of mine drove from London to Capetown (in a bloody "Disco"). On the roughest terrain of the trip they were crawling along in the low box, having to scout frequently (not recommended for a whole bunch of reasons) WHEN - a white Hi-ace van (2wd) with a big load of local people went flying past them without a care in the world - and disappeared from sight ahead of them.

    I concur with the great driving comment, very seldom seen here, rip shit and bust might get you out there, but its often at the expense of a tow home to the shop to replace the broken bits.

    Amazing what appears to be a standard type bumper can do pushing through the dirt without obvious panel damage - great stuff.

    There's one around here running 31's. Just with mud+snow tyres ours outperformed a late 90's Navara in the dirt/river. Could do with a low range box.

    That's been knocked up from RHS with a winch mount. The standard is plastic/foam job and sticks out a bit at the bottom.

    Like doing the pumice roads with the old L300 years ago. Freaky going down steep slopes without a bonnet though.
