welcome along, Don't import a 2lT as they are crap to be honest. A 5L would be better.

I am sure others will add their opinions too.

WOW a 22R pushing around 35's - amazing

On a sidenote my insurance assessor was flown in from the southern US & was trying to buy my Hilux (2.8 diesel on 35's) doublecab cos he reckoned it would be great in the boggy marshes he has on his farm - lucky guy had a superduty & a near monster truck sized GMC

Environmentalists :roll: you only drive on a trail a trucks wide in a huge area, they have plenty of land to clean without nicking your trail;

Yes it's beautiful, probally my favorite place in the world. I'll post more pics soon. The Rubicon trail was how the first pioneers came to California and is the first offical offroading trail. It was started by WW2 veterans with williys jeeps. Environmentalists and liberals are trying to close the trail but we won't let them!


Some more pick's would be great, that rock crawling they do over in the US.

Moab look great good test for the jeep.

Nice. I'm surprised rock crawling has not taken off here. There must be some spots around

The closest I have come to it in NZ is in the upper west coast as far as the territory goes but far more limited than Moab. Some of the chch boys go mad of big rocks though :mrgreen:
