Yeh, I was pretty surprised when I noticed it, I'm like "WTF does this button do?"

Its pretty handy though, all my mates got stuck in this water hole last time we went out, I went through...got stuck.....oh wait....Diff Lock's not on.....Click.....Vrooommm....Out we go

Needless to say I wasnt very popular that day

Yeh, bought a mate and went out there for the day a few months ago, not too bad.

Got lost up near the quarry/mine tho hahah

Let me know, I have a few other mates that would be keen. None of them are triton drivers tho, just inferior Patrols, Colorados & Hilux's

Yeh, after a year of 4wding, I had to get snatched out backwards for the first time a few weeks back....

Nose first into water that seemed to get much deeper after I did the highly accurate stick depth measurement.

Water pissing out from around the centre console and then after about 30secs through the front door seals

Nasty... Spoke to a bud of mine today has a lifted jeep. He knows a few local holes and is always keen. Told him to get busy and organise something. It's going to happen. Might put up a mooonshining post to see of anyone interested.
