Thread: 4wd vs ATV vs SXS

By gosh it ate glow plugs

Nearly had to change everything when I got it up on two wheels near the kawekas, mate and I calmed down a bit after that

Regularly had the work one up on two wheels on the rutted farm tracks - it had sufficient ground clearance under the middle of the ute, good front ramp angle and passable rear ramp angle with the ali tray but the wheel travel was not flash. Often you would be sitting on one front wheel and opposite rear tipping between the other two... 4wd with a push button saved a lot of trips outside to put hubs in with that vehicle. The same era Hilux still had manual hubs, sooooooo old fashioned...
