Looks like the locals had the right idea to me at about 4 1/2 mins. Using 4 legs not 4 wheels. Why not take a tent instead of a caravan? :?

I saw that video a couple of years ago and didnt really understand why he got so much stick.... Those Toyota's are tough hey? no way would a Syncro be able to do that with no damage without a caravan. He said Baboons pass :lol:

I have seen many different kits for land rovers and land cruisers but nothing for a syncro. From that photo it dosent look like a syncro.
Do you have more photos.
Seikle do a portal setup for the T5 for about that price.

Busman's sorted out some decent T3 stuff, all in one place. Nice. :ok

I think I will have an electric portal axled syncro with a roll cage, military bumpers, bull bar and a new set of 16" spats.
