I am heading out to the yarra ranges this saturday, 26th May, with my bro in his new purchase - a discovery. Let me know if you want to join us...

It should be wet and fun...

I wont be able to come but I wish you well. I love that area. Infact I was only there last weekend some very steep loose hill climbs to be had.
The disco will sh*t itself following the XJ. Let it go first
:mrgreen:

Hey Goodie,

Photo's will come later cause they are on my other computer.

The track wasn't too deep when I wormed my way up... luckily, cause I still only have standard Sport lift. I have Cooper ST 235/75's and they are what helped me up.

My bro went back up last week in his Disco and said that it was heaps deeper and slippery. He has bigger tyres and an air locker and only just made it. (His mate in a troopy had to winch himslef out 3 times!!! Lol stuipid troopy!)

getting around the last rock at the top is what did some damage to my Jeep. The left sill hit it as I was pulling around it.. there is not much room there.

Try it... they might shut it soon.

Ah... thats what all the hype is about... I have only seen it since summer this year. Oh well... if any of you are ever heading out to the ranges let us know... I am always keen for a bash.
