Here is a short vid of a decent from the sand pit, it is a bit shaky (you tube may fix it) as I was holding it with my right hand, best I could, http://youtu.be/2yS0MQwqu4Y

This pic was a little earlier, whoops, Rick

[solarman216]

And almost out

That looked pretty steep mate

And YouTube did wonders for the shake !

It was, do not know if I could come up that, and yes pleased with the shake cure, I was bouncing all over the place trying to steer one handed, no thats not right I was hanging on to the wheel it just followed the ruts, Rick

So even a Locka did not stop you getting stuck down there...

Amazing how muddy it still is there, after all this fine weather we have been having, I thought it would be a dust bowl this week.

How about the lokka mate ? Anymore comments, how does it drive ?

Lokka works perfect, came down that slope in 4 wheel 1st gear low box feet off pedals, engine held it all the way no problem, but what I really like is select 2 wheel and it is straight away with no shunting at all, Rick

can I get away with 33s without the hassle of a body lift, like angle grinder and saw to the wings, but do not want to make it look too stupid, but I suppose the way I am bashing the body about,maybe I should be thinking allong the lines of not much body at all, mmmm food for thought, Rick

[stinka]

31"s are pretty good mate with longer shocks and dislocation cones

I was going where Landys on 285s were, I think the Terrano is so much better for not having that front diff in the way like a live axle does, and with the 2" lift it really is surprising

[makeitfit]

Have you done any suspension lift at all ? If so then yes 33s can be made to fit with some local surgery
That said , for more tyre you'll need more power too
Consider

yep still muddy but lots of areas are dry, that hole was just a little deep, when I was winching I was hanging on to the drivers door as it was close to rolling, the weight with the reinforcing helped, as the rear end slid into the hole it was a little tense and I was about to jump of if it went too far, Rick

No went on my own, and it was fairly quiet on site as well, and what's more many left early, but still a good day, but hard work on your own, Rick
