Mountain camp up Jabal Jais 5,000ft
Hi Doc,
It seems this trip is quite exciting.... Nice Planning.
Is a diff-lock essential? My LC has no diff-lock but LSD. But the Fortuner has rear diff-lock (no front). Which one (LC or Fortuner) is better equip for this trip.
Cheers,

Would this have been a newbie trip?
Would a 3l SWB Pajero be up for the task? If so, I'd be keen to join this when it does finally run....
cheers, Scott
