Admin's VW Transporter T6 4Motion self build (the outside)

We made great use of a high lift jack a couple of times in the old discovery trying to go places we really shouldn't lol. But, that was with the holes in the bumpers to jack it up and push it over so it "fell" out of ruts... I don't know if that sort of thing can go on your sort of van? It's a hell of a lot LESS useful if you don't have the mounts.

Not sure you'd mount it like I did either 🤣
 
I have put a lot of thought and research into the van. It should be pretty capable with a physical rear diff lock and the ability to effectively lock the transfer case, giving a 50/50 front-to-rear drive split. The front has an electronic diff lock (via brakes). It also has BFGoodridge KO/2 all-terrain tyres. It will also have a front 6000kg winch, and I will carry four recovery boards. I have straps, soft shackles, a snatch block, a shovel and other bits of kit.

Another good thing about the t6 is that with fully independent suspension, there is no axle-mounted diff to ground at the back end.
Ok iv got it now, you are sneeking of to the mountains in Scotland hunting for wild haggis, come on own up Phil. ;)
