30 I don’t use 4WD until I get bogged… Are you kidding???
There’s 4WD owners out there who’ll only engage 4WD once they’re bogged (sorry but it’s now too late). Remember the old Boy Scout motto, “Be Prepared”? Baden Powell must have been imagining himself driving in a Series 1 Land Rover when he conjured that one up because he obviously believed, like me that prevention is better than cure. Getting into HIGH range 4WD the moment you get on a dirt road is capital S for SMART, as you’ll enjoy hugely increased levels of grip. As the track further degenerates and becomes steep or slippery, stop and get the vehicle into LOW range. Do this along with some tyre pressure reduction and getting bogged will be a thing of the past.
