Hi Rick
I would be very interested to hear of your preparation and subsequent trip.
We have travelled around Australia in a Landcruiser towing a caravan and in particular to ElQuestro and
Tunnel Creek on the
Gibb river road so understand the areas you ask about.
We also have a 2013 model Suzuki Jimny and have often wondered about taking it on an outback adventure.
There is definately no doubt about the Suzuki's off road performance the only down side as I see it is it's limited space for camping gear or lack of power for towing a laden trailer.
So you can see why I am interested to see how you are going to overcome these obstacles.
Another thing I notice is that the Suzuki is great for really rough going (maybe better than my Landcruiser) but when travelling on badly corrugated and rough roads like the
Gibb river road it suffers from it's short wheelbase IE it skips around alot and pitches for and aft. Maybe a
suspension upgrade may make an improvement in that area.
Anyway I hope you let me know of your plans and preparation
