Something like a Mickey Thompson 4 rib ATZ, or Cooper ST... Couple more but can't think of them right now

Just spoke to Nissan who advise that the engine is dumping huge amounts of oil into the back end, haven't pinpointed the area as yet, gonna be interesting

AVM hubs are on the agenda now as well as at least 1 lokka. Will also look at muddies later down the track possibly but dont really do enough mud work to warrant buying any at this stage.

For those that follow 4wda, the WA trips section has some good reads for previous trips we have done

Save your money OD and just rip out the auto locking mechanism from your auto hubs, you will have 2 get out and lock them in manually each time, but would be no different 2 buying AVM manual locking hubs.

I have already taken mine out, one of the mechanisms failed so stripped it out and I just hop out to engage now :) yeh I can't see why they would fail anymore than any other branded manual hubs.

Have you read YNOTS write up re taking the auto hub mechanism out of the auto hubs???

P.S: Sorry for the Hijack OD
