i might skip that one i think.... it will be 12mths that weekend since i blew the engine in the YJ.... i dont like my luck lol


no, seriously, i might consider it.

if i go, it will be in a TJ 2" 31's.

If it's a lwb patrol hope it's got a lift, other wise have the snatch out from the start.

you know this track pete?

[Patriot]

The patrol has a good lift on it with 35s,
has anyone been on the watagans track lately, since the rain a couple of a weeks ago.
I'm a bit worried it's going to be to muddy and slippery.

Any opinions

[JRJ33P]

lol if its rained up there, be prepared for alot of fun!

doesnt matter what track you take on, it will be muddy and alot harder.

[Kizzo]

I might be able to come on this. Put me down as a definate maybe.

[schalky]

[Pete_m]

you know this track pete?

I do, that's link that was posted is my track from a few
months ago.

The first bit is only hard if you got a long wheel base. The jk unlimited where standard height got stuck on it's belly a few times.

so we're talking the TJ should breeze thru this without any major hassles?

[tjragtop]

Yep count me in.

A mate thinks we have done that track before, nothing too rough from memory....might be mistaken but....:-?

Schalky..... I have been stuck in that exact same hole...not too sure about your snatch anchor point though.....

Gotta agree with JR....it's always muddy up in there

[Pete_m]

With some muddies yeah should be fine.

[xj jorg]

At this stage put me down.

[toddconklin]

Once again, I can't do Sunday. One day someone might organise a saturday trip. I have never done much mud. Would love to come if it happens to get changed to saturday.

[JRJ33P]

yeh, 31" MTZ's.

I couldnt do saturday - work has an open day happeneing and the TJ will be one of the display vehicles.


could potentially have a hilux on 35's come along....

[toddconklin]

No worries. I'll get a saturday trip one of these days. Thanks anyway :)

[JRJ33P]

No worries. I'll get a saturday trip one of these days. Thanks anyway :)


i'll admit, saturday is probably a better day to do this sorta stuff.... if something goes wrong, your not in a rush to get home for work the next day :p

[jk unlimited]

is this still on?, might be able to tag along if thats ok?
Cheers

[JRJ33P]

well, im a definate at this stage....

but, just still dont know if ill be taking the TJ or riding shotgun in my mates hilux.

i spoke to my mate today, he's pretty keen.

[chad]

I am also keen to have a go. P

[jk unlimited]

what time and where are you meeting up?, im keen and there may be another two with me.

[xj jorg]

I'll be pulling out of this one.There has been a lot of rain up here and might take the opportunity to fit my new axles.

[JRJ33P]

what time and where are you meeting up?, im keen and there may be another two with me.


yeh, we need to start organising meet up times if we're all keen for this trip.

i think we meet at the twin servo's on the F3? and the earlier the better being a sunday run....

what vehicles have we got in so far....?

I'll be a definate - navi (photographer) in a hilux.

dean, are you in?

[Butch in a Jeep]

If the rain keeps up most tracks will be hard to drive have a look before you do it has rained up hear the last 2 nites .
If you are still going let me know and i will see if i can get a day pass of the better half

[Pete_m]

When I made that path it was raining, some spots were faily slippery but some big muddies will sort that out.

[Butch in a Jeep]

Thats Lemon Tree rd its muddie if it has not rained for weeks.
If you want mud try Drury Ln

[Oli-dogg]

Hi Adam, just wondering what axles you got and what you had before?

[Kizzo]

Im out of this trip guys. Mrs has plans for us. Bugger.

[Patriot]

Sorry guys but we are pulling out aswell. To much rain up there as xj has said. Would definately consider in two weekends.

[Kizzo]

Yeah I agree. Make it on the 11th. I can come then.

Mate was there 2 weekends ago mate with Jk got stuck with 33x15.5x16..


Plus mates uncle owns a farm right next to the tracks so iv driven and riden motorbikes there they are never ending!! When i was there last me and JK mate found some awsome hill climbs.

Just bought a stock 05 TJ and hopefully by then will have my 3.5 rubi short arm kit on and my 33's!!

Very keen everyone. Hopefully see you all there for an awsome weekend!!!

[xj jorg]

I would also be keen for the 11th if it goes that way if not should organise a whitemans,daniels,skull and cross bones trip Kizzo.The figure 8 run:p

[OGJON]

I've had a look @ the map & I know these road well
drury ln is tough when dry due to the big ruts right up the middle
when wet well we all know what red clay is like very slippery
the loop off of Yambo forest rd is tight & has lots of drainage humps just perfect for a lwb to get hung up ot needing to do 3 point turns between the trees
Lemon tree road is quite easy when dry I did it in 2wd in the terracan with 6" lift & 32"s when wet it can be either heaps fun or a total nightmare.

there are heaps of real hard tracks in this area of the wato's you just gotta do a bit of exploring especially between Lemontree rd & boundary rd.

the tracks up there atm even the easy ones will be very muddy though the sun has been out for a day & a 1/2
