I have been watching this web site for about 3 months now. Love it, but.....
I can't help wondering if some people are missing the point of 4WD in the name of trying to be helpful.

Let me "quote" a few:
1. Don't buy 3.0 TD Patrols because they have engine management problems
2. Don't buy 120 series Prados because you can't fit wide tyres or chains.
3. Don't get a car firdge because somebody is sure to nick it
4. Don't stand still on the French Line on a Winters' day or 100 vehicles will go past
5. SUV stands for Soft (?) Utility Vehicle, no low range. Don't get one of these.
etc.

I have been 4WD for many years now. The reality is that most Australian compliant 4WD vehicles are very good , very reliable and a lot of fun. I have met 100s of 4WD enthusists over the years and only very very few have bad luck or simply bad experiences.

Australia is the best country in the world for freedom / 4WD. Anyone within Australia or from overseas contemplating a 4WD Australian Outback event can look forward to it with keen enthusiastic anticipation. They will not be disappointed. After taking a few basic sensible precautions they will have a memorable wonderful experience.

Will they get that impression scanning this forum?

Being optimistic I'll now sit back, grab on to the JC grab handle and wait for the suspension to bottom out.

Enjoy!
