The finacial advisor/handbrake/wife, has approved a diff lock at long last. We did a trip up around Capertee this weekend and as it was wet misserable and slippery and wet there were a few parts of the track that I had to be attached to the,the,the,the,the,Disco with twin lockers and pulled up two places as 1, the IFS let me down (wheel travel) 2, slippery, so after lifting the front end a few times and sliding sideways towards rock walls and sitting there with the drivers front wheel 2 foot in the air and wife white knuckled I told her if I had at least one diff lock in the rear we would get up......Mmmmm she said I think that we need to invest in one. Already has cost me as she said if I get diff lock she gets to go to the jewlery shop tomorrow (meaning today) so guess where I spent today, Got to abmit spent alot less then what the diff lock is going to cost me so still in front. No Stefan, didnt make either of them, chicken track worse then the main track but didnt have the ground clearance for the main one at the top and the rock step on the chicken track stopped me couldnt get traction, even the prado with traction control couldnt get up it, both got pulled up, The patrol and disco walked up and down both like it was nothing. Both had twin lockers but it was extremely slippery, he said he has got up there without lockers in the dry. All in all a good weekend no damage done although close. Miss the flex of the hilux front end and the diesel 1st gear low range compared to the prado, but auto is great uphill. Regards Steve M
