Hi all!

As some of you may remember me saying myself and 89gqpatrol4x4 went to The Springs on the weekend just gone just wanted to share a few videos of Rob's GQ tackling some hills, enjoy!

Quarry Hill is no match for a locked GQ!

He makes these hills near the main camp ground look like child's play.

Lucky for us the Iron Man Driving Challenge was being held on the weekend and I can tell you watching the Comp Trucks drive up the waterfall at Kanga Ramp was bloody impressive! I hope you all liked the videos and thanks for watching.

Cheers Lachy.

Hows the climb to the left of the one driven in the second vid. Last time I was out there it had quite a large step up. There are some pics and vids of that weekend on here somewhere. Dan just looked at the Beer oclock honor board. It was back in 2012 last time we were out there.

When we were at the springs with you Dave, i remember the left track was hardest, late last year i was there again and this time the right track was hardest (so nasty i didnt even attempt)

He drove the other hill with the rear locker on very big shelf. Beer "O" Clock hill is almost undrivable at the moment.

When we were there last, it looked like it was "comp truck only" territory, i didn't even need to walk it to see how hard it was.

the right track has developed a very big rock step in the left wheel track and the left track needs 35's to drive. Lachdiggitydog has 33's and was trying to bulldoze his way up but couldn't quite get it. Good effort though! It's simply amazing how the tracks are constantly changing. Sometimes you need lockers other time you drive them with ease!

Nice vids,

I like his reserved calculated driving style. You dont see that much these days.
