Off-road capabilities of two wheel drive vehicles

[County 764]

I've got a Sprinter flatbed with a hiab mounted behind the back wheels the weight helps a bit but been planning on getting some big chunky 4x4 tyres for the back as its still shocking the places it can get stuck.

I remember once going out with a mates dad in a transit pickup to collect some hay.

The hay barn was in a particularly swampy part of the county and did appear to have a moat around it.

I'll never forget him saying "If we go hard enough do ye reckon we'll make it" :lol:

 

Needless to say we didn't and were stuck in the swamp for an hour or two!

Very hard to get 4x4 tyres with weight rating on them.

 

Have been told that the LSD diff out of a Terrano will go in a Cabstar axle. That would help.

Notice how the "thin" tyres cut through the slop on the surface to grip on the hard below rather than " float " like a modern "wide" tyre .

Stick with the 4x4 or use your team to push the transit out like I do!

transits are pants off tarmac. the amount i have seen pulled out of fields when watching racing. my old toyota hilux as not to bad but not brill if it looks dodgy then any 2 wheel drive is going to struggle hence 4x4 as for county transits if you can get one very high off ground how they drive do not know not seen many of them around bit of a lame duck. they say front wheel drive is better but yet to see. have a boxer and if that sniffs anything other than tarmac it gets stuck.
