I have been 4WDing for over a decade and always in Toyotas. 2002 Sahara V8 (wifes car!!!) with HT's was my first....did most things totally stock but whet my appetite for going bush / next a 1998 RV 4500 with rear lockers/lift/sliders etc/ ...that thing did a lot of great tracks as well...then a 2002 GXL V8 with the lot (incl F&R lockers...still only OME 2 1/2 lift but very capable)/ now a 2009 V8 4.7 which has seen many brilliant High Country trips and just back from the Flinders Ranges / Arkaroola / the Victorian Sunset Country. We never set out to do extreme stuff but there are always opportunities to have a go at the impossible.....
