Big thanks to all the Land Rovers who came today.

Hi Cheeky,

Thanks for the day it was a lot of fun though I have to say it is a hell of a lot harder work in a series III with no power steering than it is in a D3. But despite that, if not for fuel supply problems we would have got everywhere. While waiting for the trip report some may like to look at some photos here 2009_08_16 album | TimJ | Fotki.com (http://public.fotki.com/TimJ4blue/2009_08_16/). I loaded up all the photos we took so there are some good some not so good but there are quite a few there :).

TimJ.

:eek::eek:A big thanks to the bjc we had a great day it was great to see how a jeep goes as stock and modified very impressed , and with the disco's nothing stoped em that d3 is a very impressive thing all round a great day thanks again

[Grimace]

Them photos bring backj some good memories.

I might head out there during the week for a play, before I retire fluffy for the next round of mods!

[WhiteD3]

Great pics Tim.

Thanks to everyone who helped with directing the D3 through that gap. I thought I'd make it given the great turning circle of the D3 but in the end she was just too wide. All I collected was a small scratch on the bullbar from climbing up on that rock on the driver's side.:)

Pics stolen from Tim:cool:

P.S> Gotta admit Marks D3 was very impressive yesterday.
Good to see as a spectator how capable they really are!!
Oh yeah, l forgot the steer jockey had alot to do with its capability also!!

Your not wrong Greg, Rock Sliders in the Making !!
Had a look this morn & left brush bar bent.
Must of been that heavy crack over one of the rocks.

[WhiteD3]

Well we had a good day if a bit slow (or is that what you think when you're TEC?). The Jeep TL (Dave? I'm hopeless with names) was very concerned about me scratching the D3 which I appreciated but I managed to follow along. TimJ had major carby issues which meant a few pushes backward and forward at various times to level the car to start. It may be a shorty but it's still heavy when you're pushing it over a rock.

Things got interesting at lunch. While Jaffa was removing his drive shaft a fire started down on the flat and the SES(?) called over the radio for everyone to scamper out of the reserve (bit hard from where we were).

Some Jeeps (and what's this uncoupling/undoing/whateveritwas thing they do first up?).

https://www.aulro.com/afvb/images/imported/2009/08/939.jpg

A mixed group
Most capable Rover were the Range Rovers least was the Game thanks to its wonky carby
Most capable Jeep was David’s XJ least was Anthony’s Qudratrak CJ

Trip leader for the Jeeps was XJ David, I lead the Rovers and Mark D3 did a very good job as TEC – Thanks Mark

Power Lines are always a good sign of a fun day ahead

First up a hill climb - optional Mud hole was declined by all punters, no wonder it is a bad one, cars have been lost for days.

Dave's "New" D1 goes well

We spent the Morning doing the Loop Track, which I rate as Black with optional Red and Orange challenges to keep the RRC’s and XJ’s from getting board.
First of the orange, we found a Rock to have fun on

The RRC boy were having so much fun they went for extra credit on the next rock over

Moving on we finally found something that stopped Peter

I watched the Traction Control working a treat in this section :angel:

Wayne was having transfer case troubles with his V8 powered CJ
These boxes front and rear drive is selected separately and Rear just was not playing the game

It was a game of inches

Some times a game of millimeters

No Panel Damage - Great Job

Some members had evening appointments, so the group split at about 1pm Mark lead the Leaving Group back out of the area whilst the remainder went to conquer the Lookout Track - Full on Orange. Thanks again Mark for taking the lead.

And the final word goes to Wayne who finally found Low range for both axles and shows us what a V8 CJ can do :twisted:

The day concluded at the Logan Village Pub where a cleansing ale washed the dust down a bit and a few stories where shared. :D

Thanks to all who made a great day

I didn't realise it was that close:eek:

[Grimace]

Freakin sweet pictures guys, Looks like you all had a great time. I forgot how good some of the tracks out there were, even if they are a tad short.

The look out track certainly looks different to the days I was out there.

The rocks look the same (i think).

There is a small creek run with some hard ledges that I recall out there aswell.

Definately keen to head out on the next trip, kinda spewing I didnt get back from byron in time and even if I did I had to attend a bbq.

I have been hangin to get out and about to more places close by, watching videos and pics is soo stressful for me right now :(

Glad you all had a good day! My cous Just bought a Jeep (Gary might like it, as its very similar to his own)

My Vid file was to large for Youtube.
Had to reduce footage, and will post tonight:angel:
