"Engineering"?  Is that what we call it?  Hmph (he says, looking down at the size of the repair bill)

I can state now that a 161" wheel base gives a great ride, but it's not easy to manouvre around a forest setting, particularly without power steering.

Eeyore:
In the UK forests a longer wheelbase can be a disadvantage (turning circle and all that), but everywhere else a longer wheelbase works as well, if not better.

From rockcrawlers to race machines, the longer wheelbases usually seem to have an advantage. Sure, everything tends to a limit and extreme examples can always be found but for general, laning, and 'froading and practicalities I would go longer rather than shorter.

Mind you, having said that, Simon Buck was victorious in the Outback Challenge Morroco in a 110 wheelbase truck.  :wink: Wildcats are 106", too.

Thrasher:
Indeed :)

Most people think short wheelbases are better at trialing - however I've worked out why finally.

The answer of course is that the courses are set out with short wheelbase vehicles ;-)

The look on someones face when a longer wheelbase completes without error is often worth it :)

110's get my vote, great offroad, towing & plenty of room for family & spending weeks away from home  :D
