Sierra - (GMC, not Suzuki)

Post by auto_eng »

Finally got my GMC Sierra. Took it down to Rainbow beach late on Sunday. I was going to take it to Double Island but the tide was in and thought loosing it on the rocks first trip would not be a good look.

Went down to Inskip instead. Didn't go too bad. Has few berries but is a lot different on the sand to my RR. The longer wheel base make turns a bit harder without burrying the front.

It was just before high tide so I had to do a bit of ploughing the soft stuff and it didn't go too bad. Nearly lost the Sausage dog out of the tray when I was exiting the beach because I kept a bit of momentum through the soft stuff as it was pretty cut up.

Nice truck, if you need any spares just let me know. American Vehicle Sales (03) 9764 9600 in Melbourne www.american.com.au

PS

Have a look at the rancho 9000's they'll make your truck ride and handle even better than new from the factory.

Engine is a 5.3L V8 Vortec which is a good little unit. Front suspension is torsion bar and the rear is leaf sprung. I have not done too much 4x4 that would really test it but this weekend it should get a workout. The front bar sits a bit low so the approach angle is gay. Custom bar for the front should help if I can get some spare time. I can't really lift it because it just fits under my house at the moment and my wife is pregnant so I get constant reminders how hard it is to get in or out of. Its pretty much stock as rock at the moment but it does have a gov-loc diff standard in the back.

I got stack of forestry permits today so this weekend should be a good time to test it. Little worried that if I get it stuck it will take a good size 4x4 to pull it out. I might get some mates to follow me in the RR and Bushrangie just in case.
