New to TOC

[mdc01]

Hi all. Just bought a '98 Landcruiser Colorado, so thought I'd sign up to TOC.

Looking to do a bit of green laneing around the Cotswolds (where I live) and was wondering if anyone else knows of a good 4x4 club in the area ?

Also see your holding a meet in Gaydon, any other landcruisers going ?

Dave.

Welcome to TOC, good to see some 4x4's joining the group, will need someone to pull me out of the mud :o

[mdc01]

Thanks for the friendly replies.....but not sure I want to get it dirty just yet !! :D

also I'm still trying to find out what that other gearstick does ;)

[TheNissanMan]

I'm guessing your refering to the one that changes between 2L, 2H, 4L & 4H not P, R, N, D, 1.... etc :P

[mdc01]

Yeah, just need to ready the hefty owners manual and find a muddy field (not hard after 2 days of rain).

If I recall it's all to do with the diff lock settings, how much power, pull etc you use, someone will correct me later I'm sure !!

If I remember corectly 2H is the most fuel efficient for everyday road driving as just using the 2 Wheel Drive, but then I could be talking out of my %^&* here, I'll shut up and get my coat till someone who knows what they're talking about comes along :D

i think your right... I use to drive a tractor the same

2H is 2 wheel drive high ratio

2L is 2 wheel drive low ration

same again for 4H and 4L

if I am correct the right way round is that if you were going up a steep bank yo would use 4L and if you were doing normal muddy road you would use 4H

so many years ago since i done it... I used to do crosss country in a land rover too...

2L- 2 wheel drive low ratio..good grip/high torque

2H- 2 wheel drive high ratio good grip/road use

4L- 4 wheel drive low ratio...loose grip/high torque

4H- 4 wheel drive high ratio...grip/high pull good stability

thats roughly it from experiance

hello welcome to the club, you should definitely bring that landcruiser along! :D

My better half has just reminded me the family is up to visit that weekend of the TOC Autumn Meeting.

So unfortunately looks like I won't be going, unless, of course I can convince them all to come for a day out.
