      Light off-roading should be kooool in the little Tiggy. As soon as the licorice standard tyres wear we are fitting some A/T treads eg BF Goodrich, Cooper ST or similar.

      Not sure about deep sandy tracks like Fraser or Moreton though, definately a job for the bigger 4WD.

      We are keen to do a winery trip weekend around the "back roads" of the Stanthorpe area with the 'fast' dirt tracks perfect for the compact Tiggy. A few bottles in the back and we're good!

      Yes I will throw in the snatch-um, rated shackles for the eye bolt, bottle jack, and little shovel, together with 'proper' tools and spares just in case.

      Do you have a UHF?



      Yeah us too...



      I reckon the Tig would fit inside the Patrol! but as they say "a time and place for everything".

        Yeah, its been pretty dry on Fraser, i dont think the the tiguan would like those deep tracks like the ones leaving mckenzie.

          agree wouldn't take my tig on the inland tracks of fraser, but Moreton island is a bit better, but yeh rain does make a difference.

          still even a two wheel drive car can do OK on sand if driven well. Not the done thing now I know but my parents used to go down beaches all the time in their old mazdas and toyotas with no real problems I used to do some quite challenging bits and peices in an old 76 escort. I'm not advocating it, just important to remember than before the advent of family friendly awds, a lot of "4wd territory" was negotiated in 2wds.

              Yeah, sorry mate. I did look for tracks to the south but other than Nowra (which appear medium grade) there isn't much else. The next closest was the Abacrombe Fire trail but it's also medium grade. Will do them some day though and will let you know.

              If you have any suggestions please put them forward.
