While at our Ravenshoe place on holidays I was using the D3 as a tractor to pull logs about to chop up for fire wood.
1 large log was on the creek bank down a steep, soft climb of about 100 meters with a sharp turn at the bottom. Big Motha of a log too.
So after a try of getting up with every thing standard & getting nowhere I tried low range but couldn't get traction around the turn.
So I tried rock crawl which I have never used before.
And on the little screen under the speedo I get a little set of wheels that show me which way the front wheels are pointing & a locked center diff.
I don't have the screen that does sat nav & all that so I thought this was really cool.
So that's the new thing I found, had the car 2&1/2 years & it still comes up with cool stuff.
BTW I never did get that mongrel log up the hill. Once I got around the turn the log kept digging in & trashing the track so after much tricky maneuvering I pulled it back to more or less where I started.

D3's make pretty good tractors.
