Suzuki 4WD Club of Victoria

Hi to all members. The trip's done and dusted. Because Lloyd and myself were the only Suzuki owners on the trip we decided to go to the dark side and went in comfort in a Hyundai Terracan. Left on Saturday 27/4 and arrive home on Saturday 11/5. First night Ouyen, then Peterborough SA, then up the Oo...

Hi all April is going to roll up really quickly, so a couple of comments - It would be a good idea for all vehicles to have racv total cover. Desert parks passes (mandatory) are also available at Maree and Oodnadatta, but may cost a little more than on line. The roads are sure to be cut up as 4WD Ac...

Greg I've offered to lead this as a club trip so if posting it on the public forum is standard practice ok, but everyone would need to realise their vehicle will have to up to scatch and there is a minimum volume of fuel and water to be carried. Chris I think you are underestimating your fuel usage ...

Chris Your trailer would be fine in my opinion (same track as the vitara). Just need to be able to carry water for about 5 days and fuel for about 550kms (approx. 50% more than normal H/way useage). In 1999 I crossed with a stock standard sierra towing a small trailer without any hassles once I figu...

Hi all I'am planning a west to east Simpson desert crossing in June 2011. The planned departure is the weekend of the 4-5th and back by the 25-26th. I have done this trip before (1999) so I have an idea of whats involved. Its to be a relaxing trip obviously camping. Pulling out between 9.00-9.30 in ...
