Here is a short clip of me taking the sierra through one of the same holes we did a few weeks back.

Basically was a repeat of this trip: http://www.vic.suzuki4wd.com/forum/view ... =10&t=1550
So Cemetery Track and Brittania Range Track.

Here are a few more vids:

- http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F4UtePCR ... ature=plcp
- The rest of the jeeps can be seen here: http://www.youtube.com/user/jim7x7

I had a great birthday but it was marred by the destruction of Dads 5.7L Hemi. Sucked in a heap of water and dropped its guts on the track.
Feel somewhat guilty for inviting him now and if it hadn't been my birthday he probably wouldn't have come.
But as he said it was ultimately his decision.

Here is a vid of before the incident:

And yes I had to tow him back to Yarra Junction, unfortunately we didn't get a photo of that...

I am very happy with my sierras performance on the day, can't wait to get my gears which still haven't shown up arrrggh!!!

Bummer about the grand.. I honestly thought if your Grand Vitara did it, then the Grand Cherokee would do it also.
You did not say anything about your Birthday though.. I think you kept that quiet.

I thought you were going to use RACV Total Care to have it trucked back.

Yep we did use Total Care from Yarra Junction to Geelong, I don't think I would have a clutch left if I towed him back all the way to Geelong... lol
