It seems you have put up the front unit on the bumper, what is it called and which is it off? My friend owns similar color pearl white Safari and would like to put the same. |

Also, does your Safari has got any switch to switch between 4L & 4H on 4 WD mode?
Please let me know.
thanks

Not likely, heh!
What you saw was more like the transport run to our deflation points, but with proper deflation and the right driver that 2-tonner can actually do quite a lot more. It can, for instance, do a Pink Rock or a Fossil Rock - though it can never climb even halfway up Big Red. |
As Steer said, I did not do much dune bashing, except at one point, where the track ended in a dune.
So I had to rev up and climb the dune on momentum.
The 3.0 liter could not manage much momentum, and got beached, blocking the easiest access.
If we had tried to rescue from the top, both would have gotten stuck, so I went down to the track again from a different, tougher path, we did the towing out, and then climbed the dune again.
At khaba village also there was lot of soft sand, almost like a dune, had some drama there too Quote:

Rajasthan never fails to impress me, especially Rajasthan when seen through windshields of a vehicle. |
