Afternoon All

I'm new to the group. Live in Malawi working in the agric contracting business. I drive a 2014 or 15 (not too sure) 3.0 TDI Patrol. I'm a huge 4 x 4 fan, trying every odd route I can find, without getting too lost !
I've added a Ironman bullbar, a Frontrunner roof rack and am in the process of getting the suspension upgraded, adding diff locks and possibly looking at new rims.

Welcome Mike.

When you say diff locks, does that mean yours doesn't have a rear locker as standard?
