Snug Tiers Tasmania

Hi

Xmas Day decided to take the Prado and the kids out for the afternoon while the mums got xmas dinner prepared.

Usual Tassie weather. Rained the day before and was overcast when we left.

Snug Tiers is about 40minutes by track from Margate which is about 20min sth of Hobart. The track is rated as hard in the 4wd tracks of Tasmania however I had done it seven years ago in the 100series.

This is the first REAL off road excursion in the Prado so was interested in seeing how it went compared to the 100.

Time to head for home.

During the trip there were a few real steep climbs with step ups and ruts. Mate who was with me owns a nice patrol and both of us thought the prado would not make it. Wow was I impressed. For a bog stock machine other than some decent tyres I was amazed. Now that we have a corolla as the run around vehicle it is time to put a 2" linch in, protection plates and maybe a new locker.

Really happy. Home to xmas dinner...sweet.
