Steve, do you think my jku will handle the grading of this trip. The last trip I did with Dru where your steering came adrift was a little difficult over that one step.
Cheers Rob

Hi Rob,Originally Posted by uncaged123
There is one short climb which some rigs may need to be winched or snatched up, mainly due to being a bit rutted by constant driving on. Have only been there twice myself so not all that familiar with all areas there. The track is approx. 12.2km's with 6 to 8 climbs or descents depending which way you are travelling of course but each has to done twice anyway. Harder than Mt. Airly but you can break on any grade track as I well know. I am hoping to do a mid-week day or evening run there before this run to get a better feeling for the track/climbs etc. As they say, your Jeep can do it, but are you ready for it...Lol....

Hi Steve,Add me as well
Do you think a Renegade Trailhawk could have some fun out there, with a video crew etc
Cheers
Steve
I have not seen a Renegade Trailhawk at all off road so I could not make a reasonable comment either way about their off road ability but I did see the short video of one doing the Rubicon Trail when it was released.....

Apologies Steve, I'm already out. Apparently I have a horse racing day and charity auction at Rose Hill then...

Wheeny has changed a lot. You will have damage as all the chicken tracks are no longer chicken tracks. And the steps have all gotten bigger due to big trucks chopping up all the lines. One of the last sections in almost impassable unless you have big lift and big tyres and lockers. Good luck to you all.
Sounds like fun, I'm hoping it's not too bad as I'm planning on using this trip as a bit of a shake down for my new to me rig.
Im out. Too many things on nowOne day I'll get there.
Cheers

Steve, looks like only 2 or 3 vehicles will be going. When were you thinking of doing a reccie? I may join you if it not between 11-14/8. If you don't mind me tagging along.
Cheers Rob
Hi Rob,
Hoping to do a reccie either Thursday 11 or Friday 12th/08.... Just need to sort some minor things with the TJ before then............

Steve, sorry can't join you on the reccie. Going on a sampler cruise of 4 days from11/8. Could do it the next week. Please let me know what condition the track is in and whether I'm likely to suffer any damages. Need to have my jeep good for the border trip coming up.
Cheers RobS
