For all the little guys out there....

Dont think that because you have a 4 cylinder petrol 4 wheel drive you are not up there. Depends on your needs as to wether you need for towing a large van, room etc a 4 cylinder is fine. Look at where the little suz's go, eg sierra, vitara's, not including all the other 4's out there. Dont have to have the best to have some fun. Had a little Jimny infront of us doing a river crossing and he had the water 1/3 of the way up his windscreen and come out the other side. Yes he had a snorkel but no water blind etc. I was waiting for it to stop halfway or cough and splutter on the other side, nup kept going for the rest of the day. Surprised me and the inlaws sitting in the back seat when we saw it first go in the deep. Good on ya have some fun thats what its all about. Regards Steve M

Yeh..yeh..yeh,
Stop trying to convice your self!
What hill are you talking about? The widow maker? (turn off near Flynns grave)

LOL

Cheers

We downsized from a GQ LWB Patrol 4.2D to a Toyo 4Runner 2.8D. Both absolute slugs on the road but really, the only thing we downsized was the size of the vehicle. No loss in road speed, off road ability, comfort (or lack of), and not much loss of actual space once set up right. Gained in the fuel economy dept.

All depends on what you want & what you need.

Met uup with a single 40 yr old bloke in Flinders, he had a little soozy 4wd thing....he'd done all the travelling we had done...oodnadatta track etc .... he felt like he was bullied off the road by the "big" boys....

Plus we watched Maz's Sooby forrester climb Big Red....!!!

Hey Hairy,
I've heard of the Widow maker, but this hill only had one chicken run and I thought the WM had 3 tracks to it? But yes, somewhere in that area....
