Bud, Jippy, would be great if you could join us and it is possible to do the trip and leave on sunday to get back to Hobart, there are 2 ways you could do it. Because we are travelling from L/ton on saturday and going via the the northwest coast to smithton and then down through the Arthur river to the pieman river and then crossing the river on the barge, if you wanted to do this with us it would mean we could meet you in Deloraine, but this would mean lots of Driving for you guys and a really early start on saturday to meet us early enough as we need to be on the road by 9am at the latest, so my suggestion would be to meet us either at corinna if you want to expeirence the fatman barge ride across the river or alternatively come through zeehan and meet us at the granvile harbour turn off, only thing by doing this is you miss the barge trip, either way, we would all meet up and camp at granville harbour saturday night and then do the 4wd trip into the pieman river on sunday and when we get back to camp you guys can head for home, the 4wd trip into the pieman river is absolutly fantastic and is certainly the ultimate offroad trip with a little bit of every terrain thrown in and very very scenic, if somehow you can both make it you would not regret it, just bear in mind that the length of time to do the track varies with the weather , there have been times when i have done it and back to camp in 4hours then there have been other times when it has taken a good 8 hours, so there might be a chance you might not get home to Hobart till lat sunday night anyway pm message me if either of you would like to come and i will help you with directions and times we could meet cheers

My child is due in the next 2 weeks, so l should know what l up to after that. This also depends if l get my jeep back from the body works, they've had it for the last 2 months (which is starting to pi## me off).

Geez Bud .
2 months !!!! what damage did it have ????

[TassieXJ]

There's not that much damage. Most of the the 4wd is fix, they tell me that they cant get a bumper bar bracket (A load of crap). And because l moved from victroia, it is also out of rego. The picture of my 4wd in the garage section, you can see the bumper bar pushed in (like l said not much damage, this is the only picture l got and doesn't really show the damage as on the other side mainly the gaurd).
I would put the picture on here, but dont know how to.

Sorry about the late response Bud ,been busy selling house ,buying house ,packing house .you know ,just ya everyday jobs .
seems strange that the bodyworks can't find a bumper bracket ,geez why not fix the old one (can't be that hard !!!).
There's wrecked chero's and a wrangler in Launceston that have good brackets on em ,let me know if you want me to chase it up , happy to help !!!
