She tried  ;D but as you would think she couldn't so the bleu car on the left did the job  ;).
By the way, seen the car above that bleu 4x4? That's 4x4 too and drove over pretty much things around there, allway good for a laugh  ;D

Ed,

I really like you Vitara!  :D

I have read your specs on it but they don't match your signiture.

So how much lift do you have and what size tires are you using?

Thanks.

That hill in the first pic looks tough :o

How big is that mud hole?  Did anyone make it through there?

Thanks ;D, I've got the 8cm of body-lift and 325*75 R15 tires on it (they are a little bigger because they are rethreads) With a little fender modding they fitted :-X. Further the specs in my signature are the reel ones (the 3" suspension lift isn't fitted yet). I'll have to read my site and update those spec's (most time I spent on it is on the dutch version  :-[).

Thanks for the interest I really like that  ;).

I believe it is, haven't seen the tags on it. But I think it's a Subaru (they are allmost the only manufacturers of 4x4 "normal" cars  ;D)

The hill in the 4th pic is more tough, it was at least twice as high and very slippy  ;D.

The mud hole isn't much bigger than what's on the pic but it's pretty deep.
The shitty thing was that some really old grandpa drove through it in a Land Rover very very slow without getting stuck even once (and that about 20 times)  >:(
I'll get revenge  :P

The pictures look great,  The place you went to is that  just open country side ? or is it a site?

Looked good anyway and yourhave your revenge :-)

It's not an open country site It's an old mine pit, they got stones out of the ground I blieve or sand.... don't know. But the company still ownes it and once or twice a year a off road club organises an event there, that are the only times you are allowed to drive there  :( But it's a great terrain and I had great fun.
