But I think I can still do 3rd gear gravel, is that a help? Rovercare, can you spin all four on gravel in 3rd?

The only way I can spin all 4 is with my centre, front and rear diff locks engaged

I'd be keen to watch any vids you have! gravel will be fine

I'll see what I can do. It's a little cold here at the moment. This is caused by freezing drifting fog.

Anyone else want to post some similar vids? Particularly those with bigger turbos.

A bit of black ice should get all four spinning in any gear easily.......Whats that in further uphill in front of your Rangie, looks like a big black chook, or is it a long lost Moa?........... I'd like to post some accelleration vids, but I've only got a small turbo. ............You should be taking more advice from Matt, with those sort of temperatures, I'm dead sure there'd be many good ideas in every bottle of JayDee.

I know from experience that black ice gets all four going in the wrong direction at 80km/h.

That's an extremely rare four legged frost moa. I've managed to domesticate it to some extent, but it's still highly destructive on occasion.
I plan to undertake some bottle based research tonight.

I cant even spin mine on dry tar with a 20 ton header in tow. Did lift the left front wheel off the deck though Mine didnt even spin the tyres wile towing the Kia van flat nacker... Must be gutless Whats the point in this any way You just snap things

As eluded to by some of the previous posts, a long time ago a statement was made, maybe in jest, we just like to stir the pot once in a while. Plus if it's true, wouldn't you like to see it done? I sure would!
