    Yeah what kind of setup do you have mate? What was stopping you from going places? Tyre spin?
    If both vehicles are setup the same then the patrol will be an easy match and in a lot of cases it should out drive the prado off road

    I had lots of wheel spin but only on one side. Selector in centre of front wheels in lock. Standard tyres fitted. I think 31r15

    Did you select low range with the little stick inside the car and did you drop your tyre pressures.
    After locking your hubs via the centre of your wheels you have only locked the hubs in.

    If not you have done very well keeping up with him in 2WD, great effort

    As TD said above, are you sure 4wd was properly engaged with gearstick?

    The front diff will be an open diff so it will spin the wheel with least resistance. With standard all terrain tyres in slippery circumstances it will spin both easily.

    The rear diff is an lsd so if working correctly it should spin both rears when in slippery conditions. Even though patrol rear lsd diff's are the best around, it is possible for them to loosen up with age and wear.
    Perhaps check the fluid levels and condition in the diff's to see if they look healthy.

    Also, maybe it's time to go for some grippier tyres.

    How long have you had the maverick and do you have much experience off road?

    With any "normal 4WD when you lock the hubs and select low 4WD you in affect only have two wheels driving you forward .
    the rear right and the front left but as we have patrol we have a LSD in the rear and a bloody good one at that.
    Sometimes when 4x4ing if one wheel is in the air and spinning [front] its a trick to tap the brake to get drive to the none spinning wheel.
