There is 2 weeks for this locker to play up.
Maybe I'll let him drive the sierra just so he remembers how

I dont mean this is a smart arse way.
I just think you will hear alot of noise from the lack of clearance on even the smallest obstacles.
I wouldn't think that we would find too much that you couldn't be dragged over.

I couldn't wait to get it dirty so my Dad with with his Jeep and I went and found a few tracks around Forrest in the Otways.
I am just trying to find the names of the tracks we went on so someone might be able to provide a comparison.
I must say I am very surpised and impressed at what she can do in stock form, can't wait to get the lift put in.
Put it this way I was going up some of the hills alot easier than the big jeep.
I guess that was probably more to do about weight than anything else.
I am not so fussed about grinding along on the tow bar - done that a fair bit through the Otways on the weekend.
Anyway I'll give you a call sometime to discuss further.

Last time I was there, most of the tracks were graded.
In the wet, they will be very slippery etc.
If we do rocky track, there is always the chicken track.
