Sad bc in theory I wanted one. if anybody wants to a similar test rig to test out their not tradition AWD vehicles my company makes those conveyor sections in the video lmao I can get you some shipped out
Well that was completely pointless, why on earth did Toyota even make this if it can't do the most basic of AWD challenges?

After this weekends efforts I've decided I need an LSD or some kind of brake bias dial for the front wheels, going over an obstacle on a slight angle lifting weight off one front wheel renders drive completely useless unless you have decent forward momentum, despite this I got some good off-roading done in the Victorian High Country.
