Welcome to the new look VWWatercooled
After much work and little sleep there is a new version of the forums running on more powerful and recent hardware as well as an upgraded software platform.
Things are mostly the same, but some things are a little different. We will be learning together, so please post questions (and answers if you've worked things out) in the help thread.

The new forum software is an upgraded version of what came before, it's mostly the same but also a little different. Hopefully easier to use and more stable than before.
We are learning together here, so please be patient. If you have questions, please post them here. If you have worked something out and can provide an answer,

Fat mud tyres are on the list.
Had to trim 10mm off as I couldn't find long enough bolts. These will end up on the front but for a stop gap they are on the rear.

It is amazing just how bad road tyres can be on a 4wd.
We got bogged in our work hilux as it had road tyres.
The farmer who pulled us out had the same car just jacked up with muddies on and it handeled the mud with ease.
