Crawler gears useless??? Having owned a rocky with 31's on it, the crawl ratio sucked (f75td). Went from the rocky to the zook with crawler gears (bout 70:1) and 32 inch swampers. Lockers etc, - no way in hell i would go back. Have driven rocky, feroza, zook and jimny offroad. Jimny had lift+ tyres, gearing and rear locker. Easily killed feroza and beat my old rocky. Had nothing on my zook though.
Layto....
Was jokin dude

Benefit of a rocky was size as I have a two year old and if I bought a Jimny/ Sierra she would NOT be going in it (hell no the back seat touches the bumper in a Jimny)
The main purpose of the down grade in size was fuel and it’s to be my week end toy and my week day transport to work
Unfortunately having said all that I wanna really trick up the forby with lifts kits body and suspension, lockers, 33 inch tyres winches gears to make it a real mini Rock hopper, for all you nsw people to be able to tackle the wattagans with a bit of ease appose to my challenges now with a fairly stock GU
I’m swing to Zook due to 2.8TD of rocky will probably be a bit more thirstier then 1.3/1.6 of Zook more parts and it seems a Heller of a lot cheaper to by second hand zook parts appose to Rocky parts
I appreciate all the advice and look forward to hitting the NSW dirt with you NSWesh men at some stage

Rocky was better on the juice than zook offroad.
