Mountain camp up Jabal Jais 5,000ft

Post by PEPSI »

Hi Doc,

It seems this trip is quite exciting.... Nice Planning. :news: :coool:

Is a diff-lock essential? My LC has no diff-lock but LSD. But the Fortuner has rear diff-lock (no front). Which one (LC or Fortuner) is better equip for this trip. :?

Cheers,

Would this have been a newbie trip?

Would a 3l SWB Pajero be up for the task? If so, I'd be keen to join this when it does finally run....
