Park.

try pulling them back the way they came from, makes it much easier than dragging them right over ;-)

They should be able to drive over
the humps without being dragged.

Well, if you spend enough money to get what you should have, instead of what you could afford, they come with air rear suspenson and a button for getting over them on thier own 8-)))))))))))))))

Well truckster, i still wheel harder than you in my IFS, so why would i want to go for the old live axle horse and buggy days set up transfrerred over.
And Davoe, of course you have to look at why you dont select low range often, because the toyota doesnt need it as much ;-)

Tell you the full story now GO I am referring to
open pit mine vehicles I have driven where you dont use low often at all and when you need to like bogged or trying to perform some feat that would be immpossible in your own vehicle low range is always siezed out in any vehicle that has spent any time down the hole. Underground vehicles are generally siezed in low range which means if you are not catching the cage out you have to drive the km+ from the decline to the office in low range on hard packed dirt and bitymen including a hard lock turn to
park - you know just the thing that Nissan owners reckon will instantly blow your diff transfer case and whatever else. Siezed transfer cases are not something I have seen in privatly owned
well maintained (washed) vehicles

Awwww...... what the hell!!
If you wish to print out a hard copy of this mag, I will be at Westfield Marion to do a signing!!
I am just SO full of myself... and loving it... LOL!!
Actually, on a more serious note, the curse has been broken. "What you ask?"
Well, there has been a long line of failures in my side of the family, hell, can't even do a family tree 'cause they were all illiterate or crims!
Anyway, my son has got his degree, and has been invited to do honours. He definitely gets this from Tracy's side......
Happy Wolf ;-)
