Its really risky to go on offroading alone, but it must have been a lot of fun.

Were there any risky/heart stopping moments with Safari ? How was Safari's 4 X 4 performance ? Was it engaged all along ?
Thanks & glad you all liked the pics. There was a lot to shoot but i dint want to keep geting in and out of the vehicle in the rain since i havent had the time to get seat covers yet.
I did 70% of the route in 2wd. Rest of the route i did in 4H since it was very slippery. while returning i had to engage 4L once on a downhill curve since there was almost no traction. IMO the safari 4wd is quite capable if driven intelligently. The ground clearance really helps. I do not know about the torque curves & spec sheets but whatever is under the hood, works pretty well. I will certainly recommend the 4wd safari for the enthusiast.

I hope to do the route again with a bunch of friends sometime soon. Anyone reading this is welcome to join in.
