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

If you did you will soon work out what you need.
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.
Ring me on 0413 310 819 if you want to chat more about it.
Weather or lack of always changes everything.

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.
