Lifted vs Stock ... off-road capability
Posted: Thu Sep 08, 2011 6:44 pm
Think you might be comparing oranges and apples...
Tires have a lot to do with the difference
I suspect van 2 has a LSD in the back (3 wheel vs 2 wheel drive)
Different drivers (look at the approach speeds and angles)
I have been stuck in my work truck on flat ground after closing a cattle gate (3 wheel drive full size ford 5 speed) due to the tires packed up with grassland grease (also known as mud)....
Lift helps a bit for the approach and departure angles...
Maybe I should change the title to "Not very scientific observations between a lifted Delica and a stock Delica...purely for enjoyment" !?
