can i meet this guy and see his setup Wesley?

why

the beast won't be doing serious stuff anyway to warrant that

I don't see why not, I've stuck a nav in 4wd going up terra city in the wet, so I can't fault him. No use having all the Navara's engine output and not be able to put it to good use.

If I had purchased a NAva, I would have:

1. installed alge x or whatnot to preserve the fuel system
2. installed skidplates and the requisite body armour
3. installed rear locking diff, preferably a dual purpose lsd / air locking diff if i could find one

Hmmnn, I dunno, I think decent skid plates and under body armor is a very cheap investment vs the risk ... Shouldn't be more than a couple grand TT I think.

Great advise Venum...offroad in numbers much safer that way if you get stuck, I know of a guy who recently had to leave his BT50 in Paria when a sudden shower made his trip back out impossible with his road tyres. As the TTORC guys would tell you..plan for sudden chage in weather and do not forget bush could also have bandits...remember 2 years ago the offroad guys got rob in Las Cuevas trail..was frontpage news

so a friend went to las cuevas with a crew with two pickups namely a navara and a ranger, which on their way out got stuck in mud on the trail after about 3.5 hours of trying they had to be rescued by two hilux pickups. That was just an fyi, not everywere your pickup can go on street tyres. So if the hilux owners on this forum thanks for getting them out

really interested in the diff locks. i have a l200 k34
thanks.

always go in groups. I learn't this lesson the hard way.

sometimes the group cant even help when it's a heavy 4x4 like the l200 and frontier etc.
