    D2 conquers the Cape

    Ok I will do a write up soon in the trip reports but let me just say the mildly lifted 4.6 did the OTT and the Cape corrugated roads with ease. We were one of few vehicles that could do Palm and in our group the D3 with Maxxis 980's and the D4 with Bridgestone ATs, a 100mm lifted Hilux and a Triton were all towed up that and out of another crossing. The D3 came back on a flat bed unfortunately. Scrubby Creek was a little deep...look closely and you will see my aerial on the bull Bar...who says Petrols can't do deep water... (about 30m plus too at that depth). Great trip. Lots of fish up the top end ..more to come.

    Cheers

    Do you have a vehicle thread so I can check out what mods you've done?

    Cheers.

    Fantastic place,my son is there now.

    I did it twice in the D2a,no problems at all,up and back on the Tele track both times.

    Also Pascoe crossing,etc.

    Had to get the tirfor out once,got stuck in a creek near a remote campsite on the Jardine,and also a tow out of one of the southern creek crossings on the Tele track but that was all.That particular ck no one could get up the bank,except with a winch or tow.

    Need to get back.....

    On a side note,(i know yours is a petrol)a few have hit the deep water reasonably hard in the TD5 and put the fan into the rad.

    I didn't use a bra first trip,but did on the second,no problems either way,just don't hit it to fast.

    Both trips water over the bonnet a few times.
