White van men never were much for mechanical sympathy but, give this one his due, he didn't falter where the Discoverys did

Is it because he's giving it more beans... less weight... weight over rear driven wheels?
Narrow tyres would also be advantage on this terrain too?

Probably a little bit of them all, although I'd guess weight is probably the biggest factor. Darren

From the Club 80-90 Syncronauts website:

Quote:
Syncros were produced with none (mainly US), rear only (common in the US) and both front and rear axle diff-locks (the preferred configuration for serious off-road work, but not sold in the US for liability reasons). Most but not all European Syncros have both.

Got back from morocco on tuesday - whilst there saw two iveco daily 4x4's with camper backs. Damn smart they looked too. We were riding so couldn't take pics but if you check out the iveco site you can see the flatbed versions there, which I assume the owners had bought and then put the camper backs on. Looked fantastic.
