Ive seen the bits in Formula4x4 and the other mags and you are right, I dont suspect that toyota thought that the car would ever be off-roaded... but mine does and it is a very good off-roader...I am not talking serious rock climbing, but the land I shoot over is very boggy, lots of ruts and rubble...and all farm tracks over fields and forests...all this and touch wood I have not been stuck...I have good tyres and the lockable diff facility on the dash and it does its job. Thanks anyway for the pointers...I will just have to modify the Freelander bits I have seen.
