Higher authorities with way more experience than Gurkha, Chennai trails and Gurgaon trails drivers have thoroughly tested the Gurkha against other vehicles to come to the same conclusion. |

I saw this phenomenon yesterday in Palar otr. Sand was loose, virtually every 4x4 was struggling. I made it on sheer momentum some how, but later Arkas MM540 XD driven by his brother stalled midway. I thought he is stuck. But with slight throttle and first gear low he inched slowly. The LSD both in front and rear did their job. If LSD can do, diff locks can do it better! |

@ rhandle - this I'm afraid I'll really have to ask - how do you dent your own roof? Someone can drop something from above and dent it, but how do you dent it yourself? |

rhandle, It is difficuilt to imagine the terrain sitting here, but i think you are right, you should have put that in first and let it crawl with diff locks on.
