Just moved here 3 weeks ago into the city, need 4WD for hunting and fishing. The roads are too rough for my car. Would like to do a course before March though so might look elsewhere.

Yer well some people have more common sence then others and I would rather know before hand if the hill is too steep. :lol: I have no immediate plan to attempt a steep hill or decline. No thats not true.
Have you done any serious off road work ??

Thanks that does sounds like fun.
It's a MU and still on transport, hopefully be here in 2 days. I have to do a service on it first
so need to source oil and filters. Is your mate experienced in 4WD because I would like to be taught by someone that knows what hes doing, no disrespect to you or your mate.
