Nice mud.
That, or beaches, is what most of our 4 wheeling is like in Tassie.

By the way, in the first post, photo #4, was you actually in 4wd??

There is no way that my VX will spin a back wheel like that without also spinning both fronts, unless I was in 2wd only.

If you were in 4wd, then me thinkee you have a drive problem.

I notice the front wheels appear to have a different centre cap to standard. Are you fitted up with those terrible "auto" hubs??

In 4wd low, the VX should have walked through that stretch.

Some of the later ones were a bit more challenging. LOL

looks like a stock axle to me...

and the VX is limited slip, so the tire with the least resistence spins...

so really....very rarely do both of your front tires spin

Sorry pbkid, but a limited slip diff is exactly what stops one wheel spinning freely.

If my VX is in 4wd low range, I can have one front wheel completely off the ground and it will not spin freely - there is always drive to both wheels.

USA spec VX's have limited slip REAR diffs, & open fronts.

If JDM's have limited slip fronts, It'll be the first I've heard of it...

ah i had it backwards, limited slip in the rear.... i just knew that in the front it was only one wheel spinning...i have definately tested that in the snow

[crotchrocket]

Its a normal VX! the 4wd works fine, the other front wheel was definately spinning, the reason it was stuck is it was sat on its belly!!!!

Thanks for the heads up on the standard diffs.
Looks like mine was modified by the PO.
He made a special point in the "for sale" advert about the front LSD.

I will try and contact him and see what was used.

Must say that I have been absolutely amazed at where this thing will go, and the power and traction it has off road.

Used it to pull a farm tractor out of the farm dam.
Old farmer was amazed that I got to his dam, little less pulling his tractor out.


Sorry about the thread jack CrotchRocket.

Now back to our normal program folks.

Try some rocky terrain. That was my first VX off road experience, and I was amazed at the Dragon's capabilities!
Best,
