I'm thinking about going again. Got the spring center bolt fixed just need to tune that damn holly so it wont flood so easy. graemlins/crying.gif
On the other hand I may have just taken delivery of my TJ by then (talked to the dealer today and was told it has been "dispatched" from Sydney but just wondering if thats dealer talk for "it's in the mail")but not too sure if thats the best first shake-up-run graemlins/dunno.gif

[TJB]

Sounds good... I might be a go-er too.
Supposed to be on-call, but I'll see if I can do some smooth talking and get out of it for the day.
Will let you know...

[Texan]

It would be very slippery in there now! I may be a goer for the 2nd. I'll let you know next week.

Yep, I'm going... :D
You can put me down as a definite now. I've piked on the 'on-call' duties, and passed them onto someone else...

[Texan]

Are you meeting at the BP at 9:30am like last time? I may only be able to go for a half day. graemlins/crying.gif I would be interested in going into the track the way we came out of it last time. I have it all in my GPS. That way we could go straight to the last creek/rocky section? Not that I have ever been on it!

Anyway, if the rain is still around, then it will be very slippery in there.

Arron

PS: I still haven't fixed my exhaust, so it may fall off in there. graemlins/slap.gif

[MR. 04 X IV]

Hey Arron,

Yep still meeting at the bp at 9:30. That would be great if you could come, as i wasn't 100% sure where we'd actually go in this time. Sounds like a good plan.

matt

[Jimmyb]

arron dont forget the other rocky waterfall track at the end i took you in, also that big open section we stopped at early in the day, where we took daves sway bar off, well there are two other tracks off there, we came in on one and left via the right track, the is a middle and one to the left, both very good climbs up to the top track also.

wish i could come guys.

[wendaloo]

:D awww come on JB you know you wanna! :D :D

[Jimmyb]

i know there are a few of us that would wanna come, but the next two weeks are pretty booked with house moving stuff. after the 15th i will be keen to go and play again.

keep naggn though, might change my mind ;)

[wendaloo]

NAH NAH NE NAH NAH WE'RE GOING TO ORMEAU AND JB AIN'T......

[Texan]

Jimmyb,

We'll definitely do the other waterfall track and we will have a look at the climbs you mentioned also. However, it would be so much easier if you just came along. graemlins/rock.gif

Arron

[Jimmyb]

are you guys goin to help me move house on te 8th?

[cannibal]

I am counting down the days!

[RogTJ]

I can't go now - have just had operation to fix hernia(!) and have been told cannot do anything that might strain wound. Would be fun with new tyres, too. Have just had 1" body and motor lift completed, along with fuel tank raised 20mm and custom replacement skid plate - will have to wait to try out. Have a great time, Rog

[MR. 04 X IV]

Hernia...ouch. :(

No worries Rog, we'll be going back again soon enough, so there'll be a space for you in that trip. :D

[MR. 04 X IV]

I would be glad to, BUT my parents are moving house on that same weekend. :(

[Dave'n'Wen]

[wendaloo]

HI Guys and girls

How do you think this weekend will be? With the amount of rain that we've had? :confused:

[Texan]

Muddy, very muddy, very slippery mud, lots of water and very dirty jeeps! The easy trails could be very hard and the hard trails could be impossible. Should be lots of fun. graemlins/spinrhead.gif

Arron

[MR. 04 X IV]

It'll be GREAT!!!!! Mud glorious mud. Sure, a bit more of a challenging drive, but it's all experience.

Cannibal and I have been counting down the days and are definately still going rail hail or shine.

It just means that the gerni will get a bit of a workout when we get back.

62hrs and 45mins.

graemlins/ukliam2.gif

[Jimmyb]

[Texan]

PhilCJ10,

Can you meet us at the place where we came out of the bush and onto the road last trip? We/I was hoping to start at that end.

What does everyone these think?

Arron

[MR. 04 X IV]

Texan, good idea. I think it'll be easier to get to the un-driven section from there. See you at the BP at 9:30.

[Texan]

Cool! Seeya tomorrow. graemlins/rockband.gif

[PhilCJ10]

Oh bugger! can't make it tomorrow as folks have turned up from down south... so will have to wait untill the next trip. Oh well at least I should have my TJ by then???? graemlins/dunno.gif
have fun graemlins/ukliam2.gif BTW i'll SMS MR04XIV and let him know so you don't wait/look for me.

[MR. 04 X IV]

Thanks for an awesome day again guys!!!
I've only just finished cleaning all the silt out of my jeep. Thank god for washable carpet and drainplugs.

So....when's the next trip????

graemlins/ukliam2.gif

[Jimmyb]

so wheres the pics mate, who went etc etc etc.

[Texan]

Guys, no pics, but I can report that it was another great day. The rocky waterfall tracks all had water flowing down them and wranglers driving up them. Some of the rocks were very slippery, so a little bit more throttle was the order of the day. Four wranglers tackled the mud and rocks.

Damage report:

Texan - Spun a tyre off its rim, had to use the winch to get the jeep on level ground to change tyre. Broke bonnet hold down latch some how! graemlins/dunno.gif

Cannibal - Touched up one of his sills with very big rock. He now has an excuse to order that new sill protector. graemlins/spinrhead.gif

Mr. 04xiv - Drove jeep into muddy water hole, but did not have one of the floor plug in. Muddy water all in side. :D

TJB - Did more custom panel beating on his transfer case skid plate. graemlins/rock.gif

[TJB]

Here's a cupala pics...

[MR. 04 X IV]

Mr. 04xiv - Drove jeep into muddy water hole, but did not have one of the floor plug in. Muddy water all in side. <font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">I actually found the plug for the front under the carpet when i pulled it out at home. Maybe it was in, and i pulled it out unknowingly trying to fiddle around where it was? Or it was out, and 'floating' around i the footwell somewhere?

My carpets needed a good clean anyway. :D

[PhilCJ10]

Looks like you all had a fun time out there just wish I was able to be there! Oh well there is next time...

[Jimmyb]

looks like a gr8 day, wish i had been there, next time.

[kyro]

Looks like you guys had a great time what a bummer i missed it not happy JAN.... graemlins/crying.gif

[Jeeps]

Sorry i couldn't come guys, i had to work. Next time i'm going shotgun with a camera! Someone needs to be allocated CAMERA MAN and i volunteer!
