I think the importance of ground clearance depends on your vehicle. Our VW Syncro T25 only has around 24cm clear underneath, but it also has independently sprung half axles, and so that means that there's no big diff casings in the middle to drag on the ground, like you might get with a...

I don't suppose you're willing to share a map of your route? We're planning to take our van over this summer and we're just in the process of route planning.

WHS^ Also, how much would it be for shipping to the UK? Thanks

Great. Thanks.

Is there any way to do this with postage to the UK?
