Just a little hobby me and my brother want to undertake - taking a 2wd car to areas in Trinidad where you wont normally see them....4x4 trails, forest tracks, as far as we could possibly go.

Hopefully I could get my hands on some better equipment and make a real hobby out of this

lovely idea, keep building on this post.
id come tag along.

i took my ck on some roads sketchy roads already, once you have good tires and decent ground clearance this would be fun.
ground clearance is my downfall

I have driven nearly every road in Trinidad already, with 2wd cars.

what about off the road? tracks, mud, forests etc. Didnt you ever have the feeling to put those wheels where they shouldn't go?

Because of the weight of the front wheel drive being over the drive wheels, i get a lot more grip with the b13 compared to the frontier. 13 also lighter, smaller, lower center of gravity, so its quite nimble. But, when the going gets rough, the ground clearance and 4wd are not just handy, but essential.

The biggest problem with the 13 is the sump pan extra low because of the sr, so I need to be very weary about boulders, compared to the advan.

Me, if I was doing the 2wd thing, I would get some big tires with a rough bead, lift suspension, and put a skid plate under the engine/transmission.
... or do all that with a vitara
