Thread: August 16 = Jimboomba - Combined BJC

Trip Leaders Report - Sunday August 16

A combined trip consisting of the GCLRO and Brisbane Jeep Club (BJC) assembled at Logan Village at 8:30am and set out for Logan state forest at 9 sharp.

The convoy consisted of
Rovers
2 x RRC
1 x D1
1 x Game
1 x D3

Jeep
4 x XJ
1 x TJ
2 x CJ

12 vehicles in all



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


Meanwhile at the back Mark Quietly shows just how good D3's are
I watched the Traction Control working a treat in this section


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


Mean while the Game was punching above its weight, despite the carby handicap


With a little help, two shorties coming together to help out


Mel shows off the XJ's front flex ability




With "eyes" on all sides Mark pilots the D3 through the squeeze

It was a game of inches

Some times a game of millimeters

No Panel Damage - Great Job

Boys will be boys

Oh Good its just a Tail Shaft, I thought it was a crown wheel.


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.





What a great view from the top


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

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

Thanks to all who made a great day

Cheers
