Took my KK to the Saunders Gorge 4WD track yesterday, along with a mate in his Patrol. Takes about 3-4 hours to drive the track and we stopped at a nice spot for a BBQ lunch too so spent a good 5 hours there.
I'm still a novice to off roading, this was the first real outing in the Jeep and we loved it!
My KK is still completely stock and choosing lines carefully we made it all the way through the track without any damage. The engine bash plate got friendly with a few rocks along the way so a lift is in order I think... Even the wife agrees
There was one water crossing there yesterday that had water in it, a dam. You could take the chicken track around it but we thought why not have a go. Had another car to pull us out if we got stuck. It took two tries at the exit to get out, but we made it. The highway tyres let us down there I think. Chris made it through first try in his Patrol with muddies.
Towards the end of the track was one steep decent that has a lot of deep holes in it now due to all the use. Thought that was going to be a problem with our limited ground clearance, but had Chris guide me down over the UHF and we made it down it surprisingly easy. The KK really impressed me!
Here is a link to the Saunders Gorge Sanctuary if you're interested in looking:

Here's a couple of videos of the day too. I have a fair bit more footage, and will upload a few more clips to youtube soon.
Cheers, Darin.
