LOL Aaron, thanks for that advice, I'll try & adhere to it although it's a fairly nerve wracking thought, especially the way the ass end of these beasties "float" when going around corners. I pick mine up from interstate tomorrow so will have 8 hours of bitumen driving to get accustomed to it. As for operating that little "stick thingie" that puts it into 4wd, I think I'm a ways off that!!!
You're talking to a gal who had a brand spankin' new Honda CRV for a few months before she spat the dummy & ordered hubster to "get rid of this useless, tinny, ticky tacky, petrol guzzlin' piece of nastiness" BUT, it's saving grace was, it didn't have an extra "stick thingie" for me to worry about
