@jack33- is that your TLC? You have guts....and skill! This thread is 5 star IMO. Tell us more, did you guys get to kodai? Did you return via the same route? What was the total distance covered? How long did it take? This has got to be the coolest trip on TBHP.
hey jack 33
The pics are amazing, your TLC looks cool!!! Post more pics man. The MM540 in the first pic raising one wheel in the air is spectacular!!!
This is insane. I would be very keen to see a video perhaps (if one was shot) on how you managed to sneak through that rocky bit of the terrain. It is quite similar to Tippegondenahalli...but when I see these pictures...seems more treacherous.
The pics of TLC is scary hope there was no damage to the body though.
@jack33- Which jeep where you driving mate, I know You did not bring TLC.
Wooow! excellent terrain... excellent shot of that LC through the narrow path. Any one took a Video, please post it.

Would love to see how the Indian Jeeps handled those terrains. LC is in a different league.
Does the TLC belong to kurian??
[quote=JayD;1096127]Does the TLC belong
Yes it was Sam's & kurians who did a test recce of the place in their LC.
wow!, Thats top stuff mate:thumbs up. The narrow track looks slippery, would be a good place to test the engine braking and braking skills. I would like to scare myself in that kind of stuff.
