A little bit of work does them good.

So, how come all 4 wheels on the 3rd gen were spinning then if they have no diff lock? Brings me back to my earlier question last week about sinking in the mud! There must be a way of locking so all 4 have traction as this vid seems to illustrate clearly yes???

I think you should be able to spin all four wheels if they are all on the ground . I can when in 4wd and mines a 2nd gen.

Dif locks do just that, lock the diff so if one wheel on the same axel is off the ground, you've still got drive to the other wheel thats on the ground.

and if you dont have enough traction then all 4 wheels will spin eventually...

Oh! I must confess to still being a bit confused about all the lever positions in the surf. It has 2 that light the orange bulb. Does anyone have a definitive guide to the 3rd gen selector?

PS, I noticed the surf in the vid was silver, could this have helped it acheive this feat of strength being as it is, the new best colour

If the surface is even under all the wheels all 4 it will spin, its only where differences in traction that make the diff work.

You can't really tell if the far side wheels are spinning anyway, the diff can shunt power back and forth to each side as quick as it likes.

Or the owner has diff locks fitted.

and who says toyota surfers dont help the tree's
