I want to do a run to Scenic when I get my new tyres fitted. That could be a few more weeks tho.

Waiting on wheel nuts from the US.

I can help you with this Chris.
I have a rather extensive retaining kit in my toolbox ;)

I've organized some dislocation cones for it so all sorted. Tonight I also fixed rear lights, steering bumpstops, dry carby dash pot and the loose tyre carrier. Scenic sounds nice. Day trip maybe in next couple of weekends. Could make it a campout too if anyone keen?

[disco_thrasher]

just make sure you retain your front springs

[dungarover]

Scenic sounds good, nice and close for me especially. The bullet only needs a battery cable to get it sorted and it's all good from there (doing that this weekend).

Let us know Chris when you want to head out.

Ok peeps. It'll be in the next couple of weekends. Let me know when y'all can make it and we'll take a vote on when to roll.

[Grimace]

I can make it in approx 33 weeks!

If you would stop ****ing about with Fluffy you wouldn't have this problem would you :wasntme:Missing out on trips is enough to motivate me to get my dungas on the road :twisted::twisted:

I have a motto, if it ain't broke, don't **** around with it :angel:

Trav

[Rat]

Maybe this Sunday peeps! Let me know if it suits.

[grover69]

Need to check with Brendon first as the park is closed to all trucks apart from comp trucks due to the rain.

[Psimpson7]

I can't do this Sunday unfortunately

[djhampson]

I can't do this Sunday unfortunately

I won't have my new tires by Sunday so I'm out as well. Unless you guys feel like dragging a D3 wearing road slicks 'round the park.

[Big Dog]

Benda is up for a play:eek:

[Rat]

Ok will check with park peeps and maybe make it another day.

[dungarover]

I am home Christmas and new year so anytime over that period is fine by me. Scenic Rim or Glasshouse is the go totesy out your Rangie, the latter is closer for you and can be real 'pucker' teritory after rain :eek: :twisted:

Trav

[harry]

well, sort it out boys, the v8 needs a run to charge the batteries.

[djhampson]

How does Saturday 18th sound?

Got my Cooper STs fitted today :p

[dungarover]

Anytime after this week is fine by me as I'll be finishing up on Friday (I hope). I'm not fussed when you plan on a trip esp with Scenic rim, I only live down the road anyway :D

Trav

[Rat]

I'll check with my chief of operations and let y'all know. I reckon it'll be ok.

[Rat]

Nah. All weekend is out for me. How about a weekday trip next week?

[harry]

gotta work all week so i can drink on friday - work party.

[dungarover]

Most of next week is fine at this stage, it depends on work if any is available :D

Trav

[djhampson]

I've got to work on the week days until Xmas.

[Big Dog]

week days out for me
who is the boss mr or mrs rat:mad:

[Skiboy]

Weather permitting we were planning a drive to scenic rim for Sat 18th
Josh and I plus my cousin - we would take 2 cars.
Might overnight?? not sure.
Sat 18th pretty much locked in for us.

Keith

[djhampson]

Looks like my mate and I are going on Saturday. Anyone else?

[dungarover]

I can't make it this Saturday sadly, the bullet has no starter motor (new one in the post) and I have to put one of the Discos back together (radiator needed servicing, plus I may be working this weekend.

Nevermind, they'res plenty of time over the break for a run out wheling. Have fun all.

Trav

[harry]

sat is out for me, gotta sober up,
and put black 4wd back together.

[djhampson]

Ok if anyone wants to rock up tomorrow we are meeting at Beaudesert McDonalds at 8am

[Skiboy]

I suspect we will be running later than 8am due to waiting on others to come from Bris
What channel will you be on at Scenic Rim?

Keith

[djhampson]

We will be on Ch 31

[Skiboy]

[djhampson]

Sweeet!

My mobile is 0409 267 368 begin_of_the_skype_highlighting 0409 267 368 end_of_the_skype_highlighting

I'll be in the D3 and my mate will be in his unlocked D1 so we won't be doing the crazy tracks.

[Skiboy]

OK we will have ute but also the unlocked d2

I suspect it may be too wet to do too much anyway

[djhampson]

Well we had a good day even if it was very very wet.

The D2 broke its exahust before we even got to the park so we had a great soundtrack.

Thanks for a good day Keith and thanks to Josh for the recovery :D

[dungarover]

Looks like you blokes had fun. Would have joined you but the bullet is waiting for it's starter motor (only made it to the PO on friday the seller told me :mad:).

The rain looked as if it was held at bay out there for a while judging by the vids, it hasn't stopped in Jimboomba pretty much all weekend :(

Trav

[Skiboy]

Thanks Dave for the Vid post

Trav it was wet on the tracks and the black mud was as slippery as.

After the guys left we did a small creek run and showed my cousin so rock action in the rain.

D2 exhaust snapped off just below the manifold as we arrived at the park - really odd to break as not seen any action or bumps so must be a fatigue fracture. Had a head ache by the time we got back to the coast from the noise in the cabin.

Will post some pics in due course.
