Weekend trip to Matroosberg

Hi all

We had an epic trip to Matroosberg on Sunday. I left some scrapes of the rear diff there, could even see them on the way back down the mountain!

I am thinking now that I need some more ground clearance, maybe a 2inch lift?

The one thing that I really liked about the D2: just put foot and the TC sorts you out. Except the one hill which was muddy and all I ended up doing was going backwards while all the wheels were driving forward. A quick reverse and 2nd Low momentum sorted that out, but it was touch and go for a few minutes :shock:

On the way back, I found it very tricky when going downhill in mud/slippery rocks because when you stand on the brakes in 1st Low, I think what happens is the ABS tries to stop you from locking up and releases the brakes selectively and I ended up slipping sideways quite a bit

My white hair count has definitely gone up after this trip!

Nice pics!

just a quick remark though, a 2"lift won't give you more cleareance on the diffs....bigger tyres will.
of course that then to fit bigger tyres you might have to lift to make some room for it.

i was gonna say larger tyres is what u need 2 get more diff clearance
