Yes crock steps of doom apparently there a tad worse than last year although a part of it had been filled,i wouldnt have done it without underneath protection as all of mine are well scraped after that.very technical bit of driving,after the steps there is a part you couldnt see on the vid where the truck leans right over thats why my passenger folded my mirror in as it would have been damaged other wise.

well it was pretty bad last year when i saw it, i walked down the track so know what your on about after the steps, i'd deffinately be interested in having another drive up to give them a go,

also i like the fords up that way, had to miss a few of them due to lack of snorkels/fastflowing water so would deffinately like to try get up again soon, probably after i finish this lift i'm building

Yea its interesting to say the least,good lane,apparently one of my back wheels was right up in the air aswell think the lads were impressed with the jimny getting down with it been so small compared to theirs.some of them have drove up it aswell bet that is hard work.did a couple of fords yesterday although they were only little ones was a relativly easy day with 2-3 challenging ones.but some great views up there to take in on the easy lanes.
