Thread: nice D3 story

I'll call bluff on that one.

I dont beleive the D3 is THAT awesome.

If it was mad tricked out, lcokers, muds, lift etc. then it adds credibility, but otherwise we have to be realistic.

I have NO DOUBT a stock D3 even with a trailer will out-perform a stock patrolcruiser.

Just goes to show what the D3 can do......

Maybe it was a D3 with a trailer that had chopped the track up.

Out-perfom sure, no problem.

But, as described, spending all day winching eachother, compared to NO PROBLEMS at all WITH a trailer, is a bit far fetch IMHO.

Maybe since it came from the opposite direction the track wasnt chopped up yet or just easier ?

??? My D3 came with two 'lockers' from the factory, it also came with a 'lift' at the push of a lever. When I go bush it's fitted with STT's.

Who said the D3 is question didn't have mud tyres??

Mud & Ruts? Just dial it up.
Suspension lifted, engine & transmission responses altered to the requirements and diffs locked. All at the turn of a dial.
