    Perhaps a bit!
    The curvy section definitely looks different though; the tops are falling away as a path is laid out.

      Probably 'cause of all the traction aid equipped vehicles eroding the peaks away in contrast to the way an unlocked vehicle only makes the holes deeper.

                Bugger! Glad there was no major damage but I'm guessing you taking the guts out of the Prado wasn't how you planned to spend you Sunday

                    Wow looks like another great day out at our favourite narrow gauge train set Declan Great pics & videos guys.

                    Good to see that Shea made it through both top & bottom wombat holes without too much trouble. Russell sure doesn't mind having a go although it looks like his LSD has given up! The traction control on the modern vehicles is just amazing; the 150's going through the wombat holes certainly proves that

                    Nice shot of you Declan climbing Moon Rock; also like the pic of Shea's Suzuki pulling Russell's Patrol out of that mud bog
                    Cheers,
                    Glenn

                      Reminds me of what happened to Oscar on that trip In July last year

                        I did a few of those wombat holes today on a track parrallel to the main road. Very impressed by the way the traction control made it seem easy in spite of the stock suspension.

                        Last time I was around these parts was in a Vitara very similar to Shea's white one. Those Vitaras are surprisingly capable, but I do remember having to replace a gearbox cross member on my Vitara after that trip.

                          I didn't know it had a name. I thought it was just "the power lines rock"

                          In hind sight, if I had temporarily let the tyres down to 15 psi I might have made it over the rock.

                            Thanks Declan for organising the trip- it was a great day out and thanks to everyone who came along! It was a good sized group with enough stuff for all of us to do.

                            The 2" lift certainly made a difference, now to save for that locker!
                            Cheers, Brad
