so when driving soft conditions the Troll has to work a little harder.
So please define "work" - in the 4.8 manual the word is not mentioned in the same sentence as the petrol engine ... he he he ...
Glad to hear that they work well with the Patrol chassis, now anyone out there with experience of the extra horses from the 4.8 and BFG A/T's? Although I have not made up my mind yet, at this stage they are my no 1 choice. I am looking for counter arguments to convince otherwise!

Have a lekka weekend.
I always deflate my BFG A/T's to 0.6 - 0.8 Bar in the sand and I have never had any problems with the tyre coming off the rim. I think the reason might be the design of the steel rim and also the fact that they are narrower tham the std Patrol rims.
