Nah I bow to your 4wd proess, (actually I would have to beg permission to borrow the Mazda) but if my other Pajero SWB plans pans out you're on.
I have a dog to go to the vet tomorrow and I suspect its gonna be a gold plated bill to top an already expensive week

Went through the car wash couple times Undermeath is all clean now.



There wasn't a Rav in sight

Id do that crossing in the rav. Wouldn't even need a tarp over the bonnet at that river flow in fact if I thought I would get away with it(probably not) I would do it in the swift at that level.

I'd probably pay to watch your Swift drop in over an 18 inch drop off then float away. It would make an awesome video



Amazing what you meet in the middle of no where

Its not even half way up your tires, im the king of bow waves,taught by my old man who would put a bow wave over the windscreen of a volvo f12

My silly mrs took her rav in to the AA to get some overpriced "Safey Test " you no the ones they check 175 things on the car but service nothing ! There was a long que of other idiots receiving the long lists of things wrong , Jodys rav not one thing wrong couldn't believe it

Mine flashes the seat belt light if I put it on after I start it .....or before I start it....I forget which now I dont notice it anymore other than that its sweet.

At the very start of the year I was co driver in my mates surf when he decided to cross a salt water river 2m deep 20m wide and flowing at about 15knots...there literally was no bottom as all the sand was boiling in the current, ironically it was the current that saved us when we fell into a hole it was all that pushed us out... I will admit that that is not rav country,surf only suffered alternator failure and probably premature rust out.

That is a two lane highway, not the middle of nowhere.

I agree VC, for what they are the Rav is well under rated and capable of a lot more than many would expect. Light and nimble.

We have an old RAV as a beach hack, does nicely.
Need to find a towbar for it as the new boat will be too heavy for the quad.
