Will go with the ZD30CRD - either in the STD or GL grade Patrol.

Anybody wants to know the price? :wink:

Had front and rear diff locks on my Land Cruiser 76 and only used them in offroad parks. I also prefer LSD in the sand but not in the mud. so yes, I will go with the lsd - except if I take the STD grade which comes standard without ABS and LSD.

I love to do all the research until the vehicle arrives :woo:

only things I might take with me from SA is a nice drawer system, front runner roof rack and maybe the madman EGT stuff. That should be it :biggrin:

I would also have thought that the SUV will have a locker but the pick up maybe being the one with the LSD....

well....
This is a perfect example of a biased test. They couldn't have done it better if ARB paid them. Oh, and 4" of extra flex on the LSD-equipped car would have had it climb that hill almost as easily as the ARB-equipped one.
