Your compairing apples and organges.

Prior to the mk4 (iirc) the high lux is live axle front and rear with a long light buck on leafs all round.

The warrior (how gay?!?) is IFS up front generally with a crew cab putting a lot of weight mid ship with a shorter buck and less of an over hang.


What exactly is the question your asking?  Is a 4x4 capable of doing pretty much any green lane in Britain?  Yes a rav4 can, and so can any other 4x4.   Can a warrior flex like a live axle truck?  No.   Can a highlux go as well as a truck with better weigh distribution on a pay and play site?  No.

Does a jacked up lux running on 44's look better than pretty much every other 4x4?  Yes.

well wifey wants to lane in a warrior not me i geting my 90 in a couple of months fingers crossed but if she was to lane it would it be more liable to getting stuck was the question as i didn wanna take it out if it  gonna get stuck at every mud interval

with a set of all terrain tyres any double cab pick up will be fine on greenlanes. iv had been in some offroad at the royal show and they did the same course as defenders and vw tourags (spelt wrong, i know), with no problem. and if the back is too light, do what my dad did in the snow and chuck a couple of hundred kgs of bagged agregates in the back :twisted:

lol simple solution  :clap:

Any 4x4 is more than capable for most lanes in britain.  If you can fit 31's in the arches then it'll do 99% of the lanes. (I can count on 1 finger the lanes I know I wouldn't attempt in a truck with 31 inch tyres, and it's in cornwall and a waterfall - but I don't know all the lanes by a long strech).

Sounds like your new to the whole greenlaning 4x4 thang. There's a big difference between greenlaning (lovely peaceful pastime with great views and a brilliant chance to get to see parts of the country who few ever see) and pay and play sites (bang smash hahahaah  HAHAHAHA).

Find your feet and take it from there ----- massive off topic from the cooper sst's though - which are supposed to be very good, know a bloke with a set of 32's (265...) and always keeps up with the group....
