Phillipe,my Syncro has got me to some awkward places that other standard 4
wheelers couldnt get up.
I do have rear diff lock but find the bus gets most
places,that I want to get, without it locked.
I found that the first few
times I went off-road,I used it more as I was unsure of the capabilities of the
bus.The more I drove it and got used to the way it like to be driven,the less I
use rear diff lock.
This year I even did Point Plomer Road in 2wd except for
one particular sandy part on the Port Mac end.

sure if it helps, but we bought an almost identical syncro last year. Same high
top and also a trakka conversion, 160k on the clock. Â Ours has front and
rear diff locks, and was the 'time camper' with solar panels, leather upholstery
and a host of other extras. We paid 16k so 22k seems a bit steep.There are pics
of it in an article I just uploaded to the forum 'files' section.

 The high top is, to us, totally invaluable. It means camping with the
'roof up' in high winds and rain is fine and peaceful, and there is tons more
storage up top. WE simply adore it. THe only possible downdie with a high top
(other than slightly higher fuel consumption) is that it doesn't sleep more
people in the roof, so basically it is just a double bed. But you can of course
add an annexe or maybe even a cot across the front seats. Anyway, I think the
price seems a little high myself and its been on sale for a while. Make them an
offer of about 18k and take it from there?..
