Hey GQ42, you were the guy talking to us near the fire on Saturday night with Paul and Dave. I was the other guy standing there telling you about it.
I have had the opportunity to do it again and i can say i have been there and done that and dont need to do it again. Hardcore mate. I dont think anyone heading in there that morning really understood what we were getting into. Fortunately every vehicle was well setup and self sufficient, they needed to be. Never underestimate the Otways and the Nissan GQs are awesome ;-)

I hail from Dimboola & I get down to Melbourne every 2 or 3 months so next trip expect a call.
A very nice way to lighten up the bank account with that new suspension package Mate.

Thanks for the comments guys, i am really please with how it all turned out finally. It was a massive task and i have not posted a quarter of it....but will..
GQ4.2 if i dont think about it too long and i can jump on the back of the convoy and you lot can clean out the holes for me i might be tempted to take it on again????? Maybe??
Ron and Paul will drive around most of it in their Zuks mate. that hole in the pics was surrounded in Tree Ferns and the zuk could fit between them and go around the hole but the GQs had no choice but to drive through..damn it. you will definitely want the front and rear lockers mate. That GQ winching out of the hole had 36s and a 6 inch lift and an very up-spec'd Hi mount on the front.
Getting late now might post another batch of pics tomorrow night.
Cheers MudRunnerTD.
