Earlier today I bumped into a young fella with a weapon of a Hilux, lifted to the shithouse with big Big Horns on it etc. all nicely done except for the extended shackles (but we don't need to go there!). Any way I thought I would have a chat to him about the VSI50 bullshit and mentioned to him about being limited to a 2" lift his reply was "you can't go 4wding with only a two inch lift" my immediate reply was "I can"
So which is it? What is real 4WDing? Is it ripping up the tracks with big rubber (bigger than the rut) and claiming victory or is having a few goes at something before you either make it or are defeated the real deal?
I have no bias here, I love my ute it does everything I ask of it sure I won't point it at some tracks most days but I like seeing how far I can go without damage. Which brings me to the hardcore tracks people are referring to when they say hardcore. Recently I was back home in Lithgow visiting my parents, as most here will already know there is an abundance of off roading to be had close by. My Dad and I went out to see some of the old hang outs/camping spots and couldn't help but to notice all the unnecessary new tracks made for the sake of making a hard track. Some of these tracks were in areas that will and have started erosion problems and can only be best described as damage or vandalism.
It breaks my heart to see the bush I grew up in being raped in this fashion when there are already tons of tracks already made by forestry for use and some of these are hardcore. I'm all for fourby's of different shapes and sizes and I really don't want to see any banned but what I think needs to happen is BAN the COWBOYS!!!
Sorry maybe I should have put this in the have a rant section!
Cheers Brad
