That sounds crazy, have to get some footage of it once you've cleared it.. at least getting majority of the way through it.

Ha Ha.. Well that is probably a good thing from what I've heard about your mates Jay.. Kidding..
But yeah that track is a bit of a secret local one and its a good thing that 4WD Action didnt give its exact location.

How do you find removing the sway bar now you have done a few decent trips, still think it's worth while?
Any mods that you have done that you would have tackled differently or changed?
Did you get your speedo recalibrated at all or did the diff regear sort it out?
And how do you find your fuel economy now? I often only get 4-500 kms with a bit of low range work with 32s, 3" lift, bullbar and winch plus gear.

Just out of curiosity, have you ever had any dramas with your throw out bearing making a squeaking/squealing sound that goes when you depress the clutch?

Sorry to butt in, just the way you discribed the squeaking sound that's the way I described mine but someone linked me to a writeup from good old "boxhead". In my case it was the clutch fork pivot point maybe worth a look
