Monkey Gum...as in the one at Yalwal?
or is there one in Townsville too?
Had enough reminding the boys at work. We did the Monkey Gum track the other week.
1 ol 75 cruiser with 2 inch lift and 33's.
And 2 patrol's with 2 inch lifts and 33's, the wagon had sway bar disconnect's and impressive flex, and the other was a tray back with leaf rear.
Well.(preaching to converted)
99 D2 with 2 inch heavy duty dobbies. (no flex) and 235/85 with CDL just walked it.
I was the last to climb the last section(the steep bit).
And whilst it took the other 3 things, 3 hours to move 200M, it only took ol Rover 2 minutes, one line correction and minimal fuss, wear and tear to walk the so called infamous monkey gum.
In air con with stereo, which is so different to the 110 I had.
And still they won't admit defeat.
HhahahahahahahHa.
No ammount of H's and a's will suffice.
Will.

Yalwal.
It's been a couple of years since I did that track but the last section must have deteriorated a fair bit if it took the other trucks 3hrs to do it.
Apart from the one awkwardly positioned rock (at around 2.40 in the video below), it used to be relatively easy.

A few months back my 101 Landy towed a dead hilux the last part of that track in the rain and in the dark right up though pass the ladder unaided.
