It was a bit of an issue tbh, good thing ive got the tow bar though, it clipped a few times but wasnt as bad as you might expect for a 5.6m long car.

I haven't tried it yet, but it's something I think i'll get into. My exhaust guy is into it in a big way, he does those national competitions. Good bloody fun to watch, although I suggested to the missus that she'd maybe be my winch bitch which got me a slap and a "I drive, you run up the bloody hill with the winch cable" :D

A few years ago at work, I helped built the boss's 4x4. Toyota Hilux ute, 350/350 engine trans combo, custom made transmission/transfer casing coupling. 35" super swampies, 6" suspension lift, custom bull bars with 10000lbs winch, roll cage, radiator moved to tray. We did most of the custom work at work during the Xmas break when the presses weren't running.

Here's a couple from Boxing day at Mum and Dads. We were out the back of Carpenters Rocks on No.2 beach. It's extremely soft, so here's what NOT to do when 4 wheeling.

100 series Toyota Landcruiser V8 monster
my beasties
both are 2006 tj jeep wrangler 2 dr monsters
the gold one in the photo has (left)
2.5 inch lift
diff lockers
transfer case lowering kit (to prevent the wonderful jeep vibration)
in the photo has 31 inch muddies, is now running 33 all terains.
dont have any issues with the gold one, works a treat and does it's thing wonderfully

black one
2006 tj jeep wrangler, 2 dr, soft top
replaced the soft top with a hard top.
photo was taken before works were done on it.
now has diff lockers.
air compresor
dual battery setup
anderson plug
airbags on the rear.
3.5 inch lift (RUBICON) engineered to it's legal
massive steering dampener (RUBICON)
all adjustable control arms, extended sway bar links, (TJM)
adjustable track bar both front and back (BLACKS ENGINEERING)
transfer lowering kit (OEM)
6 sp manual (POS)
running 33 inch all terains.

both are brilliant cars, dont have any issues with either of them. being a short wheel base they keep gong and going and going, and never ever get stuck, never been stuck in the mud or crossing large volumes of water.
done the usual things, bull bars, cb radios, driving lights, both have swing arms for the spare tyres.

will be replacing the 6 sp that is installed in them with a 5sp ax15, both the gearboxes have got issues with the sync's for 2nd gear. and the black one has a issue with the input shaft.
