sports tough for me seems great grips well and not to heavy.

I think Extreme use an Exedy Safari Tuff pressure plate but their own button clutch plate.
I just run a std Exedy clutch, only had it slip once when I was bogged down to the chassis in soft sand on a dune ridge and trying to inch forward. 8psi gives a lot of grip on sand, winched out in the end.

4terrain for me, never had a problem.

i use a safari tuff, never had any issues with it so far....touch wood.

another safari tuff user, been behind both a tb42 and td42 and so far no dramas at all.

Vote goes to Exedy Safari Tuff from me too. Adequate for most punished we give our Patrols. Same as the std Exedy except for the modified pressure plate which has a slightly higher clamping pressure.
If I was doing comps and lots of water work the button clutch would be the go.

i really dont think a button clutch on the road is going to be very nice to drive. agree with sudso, if doing alot of comps then go for it but road use. no thanks. they are basically either on or off there is very little slip in them and very harse to launch and things like that.
i have also found places were you only want to ride the clutch very slowly to move. a button clutch would make this almost impossible

Clutch industries 4 terrain. Dual mass flywheel conversion (solid flywheel) on the zd30. Love it feels heaps better then standard.

i got the extreme offroad on my tb42...

love it!! not too heavy but good feel from the pedel

4terrain for me, never had a problem.

Agreed 100%, have done nearly 10,000km since I've done mine. Feels great to drive.

got the exedy safari tuff in the tow pig, very happy with it.
Got an ACS xtreme outback with increased clamping force and sprung 6 puck ceramic ready to go in the toy. It's rated for some astronomical torque figure but it's going to be a real bitch to move it around the yard and shed now. I'll probably use low range 1st gear with the hubs unlocked.

Get enough, dont get the biggest baddest one out there because it's going to be grabby.

i orderd the xtreme heavy duty clutch today,
i didnt go with the cushon button think it would of been over kill for what i do with the 4x4
thanks everyone for your help
