Oh you big spoilsport. You must be getting old, don't think you'd have said that 10yrs ago LOL!!

Don't forget, he said 80 series and that is one of those things with an oval badge and a T in the middle. Oh someone stop me hahhahahaha.

I think you are probably right Crackles. I had two in my GQ and it was fantastic. Where it would not go, nothing would.

Did I need them? Na!

Was it good to have them OOOOOOooooohhhhhhh Yeaaaaaaahhhhh!!!!!!

They were lots of fun particularly in a vehicle that looked reasonable standard. I once meat a guy in a severly jacked up Hilux. I was checking out a difficult area on a track when he came up. He asked if I minded him going through andwithout getting out of the Lux proceeded up the track. He got stuck, backed down and had another go, stuck again. I asked if he minded me haveing a go at it. I pushed the two buttons on the dash and walked up the hill. The guy with the Lux spat it wanted to know how I had done it. The secret is wheel placement I told him before driving off. The secret was traction control.

But you are right they are a luxury.

Duncs there is nothing like a couple of 'magic buttons' to make one look like a great driver. I've been in a similar situation where a fella was stuck on a rock ledge winching. I drove up beside him on the hard side, stopped to ask if he needed a hand, then restarted continuing on my way :-) But that was back in the 80's when their was heaps of low range 1st hills & huge ruts to negotiate. Unless one goes out of their way to look for difficult tracks most have been cleaned up & with coil suspension on many cars & the improvement in tyres really how often now would a locker need to be engaged these days.

I have an 80 and put both front and rear in... in hindsight after having both in I would say to just replace the rear!!

You will get plenty of wheeling done with just that... maybe spend the money you would have spent on the front on a winch! you will get plenty of use out of that too!

Cheers
