Thank you all for the good wishes and advice. In Particular thank you to the Marshalls, Explorers and Advanced Drives / friends that have given to good guidance to bring me ( and the Fortuner with the 'extra ground clearence' ) up to the next level safely.
I will be away for a couple of weeks and then will be looking forward to trying out the new Glitter .
Look forward to seeing you all on the sand soon.
