Pics of your offroaders...

Can be standard, or heavily modified, but let's have a look at the 4x4's being used on PH...
I'll start. Pretty much standard except for a diff drop, 1.5" spacer lift, custom transfer case bracket, custom bumper, (by custom, I mean a man welded it for me), and some home made underbody protection. tyres are Insa Turbo Sahara jobbies. It does me thus far.

Always had a soft spot for the Vehicross. Does the TOD system behave itself in general?
The TOD system was the same as I had in the Amigo. Vacuum activated transfer case box. I had to use it stopped, as it got crunchy for some reason. All worked fine in lo range despite. I prefer a mechanical lo-range now, though. mrdelmonti said:
Yep one of the reasons I chose it. I'm more of a Landy man if I'm honest so I think my driving style will have to change but I've no doubt that its a capable machine.
Very different to a Landy, but I prefer a lighter car to go offroad with. Plus, when you are in a little 4x4, and get stuck, no big deal. get stuck in a landy, and everyone laughs. mrdelmonti said:
Very jealous of that SJ, how does it perform compared to your Vitara?
Very similar as it happens. I can go anywhere it goes, and vice versa. I do seem to be able to climb steeper slopes with more ease than it, (experienced this yesterday. It seems to bounce a lot more in poor traction so loses what traction it does have. I presume it is because of the leafs, rather than coils?) Ground clearance wise, although it looks like it has more, the Vitara actually has that, by a fraction. The under body protection on the SJ lowers the clearance by about an inch an a quarter.
