I wheel with a truely standard 1 x GQ 4.2d Patrol Trayback(31s), 1 x 75 series Cruiser Troopy with 2" ARB lift and Kaymar rear bar, 1 x Std Mitsubishi Triton. There is a nasty hill just outside of town that I crawl up really really easy yet all these others work there arse off to get halfway up. The Troopy now has a front locker and can get up it now.

However there have been a couple of times that the Troopy (without lockers) has gotten thru things that I could not. In both cases it was because of the extra length the troopy had over me. Going thru a huge hole dug in the ground by an excavator. The height of the walls of the hole were longer than the TJ, I could get my front wheels just over the lip, but no weight to ge them to bit. Where as the Troopy was able to use a heap of momentum and get its front wheels up on the flat and drag its under belly and rear end up over the lip.

I am constantlyt having to take different lines to the others, often its the roughest route for a particular obstacle. I don't often go first as have less experience than the others, and try their lines but get stuck so try my own line a nd cruise thru real easy. I used to have a Excab Hilux and use Lasndrover 110s in the Army and I have to take very different lines in the TJ than I would normally use in these other vehicles.

The TJ even with 2" lift is the lowest 4wd I ahve taken offroad and am very dissappointed by the rear departure angle, my rear tank is a mess and that with a tow bar! With you setup you are still only have the height of a truely stock cruiser under the belly and less at the rear end.

Are you getting rear end hung up, bellying out, lifting wheels?? Have a think about why the TJ is stopping and the others are powering on, identify what is commonly the problem then do a mod to overcome it.

More lift, tummy tuck, 33s & lockers is what I want, but if you want to swap I'll be happy, except for that Auto

By the way the Landrover is so not stock, I wish the Army 110s do that, well they do just that back left wheel would be at head height

I wouldn't have thought you would need to do 2 many mods to keep up with a stock Nissan, Rover or Toyota. I havent.
