On our recent trip to Fraser Island I successfully drove Ngkala rocks in my GU III with factory ride height and 33's aired down to 18 psi.
Conditions were wet, which made it easier, but it was great to tackle and successfully make it through without getting stuck!

I don't care if it's a yota, this makes me happy. Detroit goodness!

What is the charge? Eating a meal? A succulent Chinese meal??
Oh yes the sweet sound of a 2 stroke Detroit, I’ve got a video of a W model Kenworth with an 8V92 idling in front of my house but I cant post videos- it’d make a grown man sticky in the underpants.
You wouldn’t even need your ear trumpet Plassy 🤣
Well 9/10ths fucked on getting the engine back in after pulling it out -again- to replace clutch fork (after replacing clutch ~2 months ago)
... to find out the issue was most likely the vacuum booster and an accupmaltion of wear through the system.
But at any rate, know it should be good for the next 30 years or so.
Tomorrows mission is basically fill the rad and bleed the clutch and drive on.
Then to remove engine from truck 3 to replace water pump, clutch (plates AND fork), swivel hubs rebuild, underbody bushes... yada yada. then #3 engine into #2 for a tiki-tour around the country for the next month.
Then Slap a turbo on #2 engine, into #1 ute
... swap #3 doors onto #2 but with the glass (tinted) and windywinders (manual) from #2...
Then sell them all and buy a late model landcruiser >_>

first week back onsite at work, 3rd week back at work after our Canning Stock Route trip.
Solo north - south traversal, no probs with anything. Took us 20 days. 100kms in a day was a big day. One day we only drove for 40 minutes, other days up to 7 hours, so it was all over the place.
Best trip we've ever done, want to do it again some time.
Tried to get into Rudall River NP from the south entrance. Nup. Corrugations so bad I could just see the GU copping some form of damage, these were just terrible corrugations, worse than anything i've ever seen.
Will be going back there one day, it was looking so pretty.
