Arrow Off Road Test and Suggested Simple Improvements for GC WK2

I came across this longer term off-road test of a WK2 on another site I'm with.......

It had a decent long term , in depth test of the new GC, and some cheap and simple ways to improve its off-road abilities......

Have a look:

Interesting read - once I found the article instead of just the pic

Yes, sounds like a fairly balance review. Had read other reviews an YouTube video footage etc which were favourable. The independent front an rear suspension is always going to be a stumbling block for the purists.Reality is all 4wd do more time on the road than off road.I'll be going off road with my wk2 2012 . I'll keep a set of wheels (17") for those occasions. Done1900km on first road trip the overland diesel truely is awesome vehicle!

I did read it when you first posted. It looks to be balanced and objective. Studying the photos also helped me decide that the rock rails are a good idea. I like the way they cover the sill of the GC completely.

Nice find. Thanks for posting.
