Thread: Rover park

Yes thanks again to all, especially Stikman for the recovery (I owe you one) and to everyone else that help figure out the Rangies issue.


Between Justin and Trav I dont think anything could not have been sorted out on any Rangie. I am considering changing my user name from NOZ to NOD as that all I was doing around the camp fire as Justin and Trav discussed Rangies. I could only NOD as I didnt have a clue what they were saying ( I have a lot to learn ).

Now for a new tranfer and airbags.

pic's pic's

thanks all for coming down and having a great time.
with noz out for the arvo, and bullets having left for levuka, it was down to four of us to conquer the variety of tracks, with some great tracks, only a couple of recoveries, one log winched off a track, until my winch failed due flat battery,
suzy canyon was fun for all except me as i decided to back out and picked the others up at the way out and we did most of the extreme tracks with little damage, although i didn't do the creek run, that creek did claim some panels and bars.
good trip, good company, thanks again.

Thanks to all for a great weekend, even if eventful started with a late departure friday and then a two hour detour when Cunninghams Gap was closed leading to a very long trip down but the welcoming faces, roaring fire and good mates makes it all go away.

Everyone drove well with some good tracks tackled, was a shame Noz was let down by mechanical restraints but its all in the fun of a new car, working out what needs to be tweaked.

Nope Noz, can't see what the problem may be


Yep, that will get the heart going










Start of Gully Run


Ooops, who put that there




Should fit


Can i help?

As you can see from that first shot, when your guiding someone up a ledge like that with a bit of wheelspin on board you cover the essentials. Hey it was a cool morning I only needed half my hand

Justin - I do recall someone saying "I love the smell of burning rubber in the morning" that pic says it all!!

Thanks guys for a ripper trip - as usual great company & an absolute pleasure being associated with this club.

Meet up with guys at Lavuka (in the dry) Saturday afternoon/Sunday and all I can say is - what a debacle - no convoy etiquette, no recovery gear on their part, drinking the whole time while 4WDing, no rated recovery points fitted....

Makes you appreciate the club ethos & it's people.

Cheers guys

, that's a classic

Yep, that was a bloody good weekend. Good sized group and we tackled some pretty nasty tracks in the process. The bullets initiation on a GCLRO trip has been done and dusted and passed with flying colours although did claim some panel touch-ups going through the gully run, but were able to repair some of it back at camp (thanks Bullets for the loan of a big arse hammer and some wood to try and knock the dent out of my bonnet). This is why I don't buy expensive Rangies, too busy trying to rearrange the panelwork

The only sour note about Rover park now is the bloody motorbikes. I don't generally have problem with them myself (I used to ride them when I was younger too) it's the constant revving of the damn things that ****s me and the tooling around the campsite although Hans (the owner) gave one group an earful for doing this exact thing

Good to see NOZ' Rangie in the flesh, read the buildup on it in 4WD action when they owned it and it's a bloody tidy looking Rangie too Just have to **** that BW transfer case off and you'll be set

Okay, so onto Levuka in a few weeks. Something a bit closer to home.
