Thread: Are 4WDs too high-tech for the bush?

I'll almost certainly need someone to tow my D2a - damned three amigos.

But is there a reason you don't want D3's/4's and Rangies there? One of the drivers might need a bit of a rest,, I could fill in for them

Chops, all are welcome, my suggestions was to put an end to the debate which is the more capable 110 in the bush

Personally I reckon they should because at least then they would have some reliable and powerful enough tow vehicles there to skull drag all the old and new broken down Fenders out of the desert. ...

Careful you,,,,,, you won't need to be "skull dragging" me anywhere





Famous last words

Hehehe,,

I almost forgot Terry, you guys will need us along to help with the power source to run all your coffee machines and hair dryers

Geeze Chops, now did you know that I have a hair dryer? ...

Didn't you know its mandatory for all D3/4 owners.

All the East Coast AULRO's meet in Sydney and drive through the desert to Perth. All the West coasters do the reverse. We have a MASSIVE BBQ in the middle.

At the end, tally up the damage.

And breakfast on the bight. Pat

Yes,us snags with our electric LR's can't survive without our luxuries,can I have a soy late' with a twist of lemon?. Pat

I think that the suggested trip to settle the argument shows the typical discriminatory focus on large centres of population and wealth producing industries.

Notice that the suggestion only referred to the East Coasters and West Coasters. Once again the neglected South and North have been left out.

Surely to be all-inclusive and non-discrimatory, groups would have to start at all four cardinal points of the compass and the barbecue in the middle should be at the Lambert Centre at the exact geographical centre of Australia.

I have already done that trip through the Lambert Centre (without the barbecue), but I showed an even greater awareness of the need to include minority groups and neglected regions. I was prepared to think outside the square and did not limit my thinking to the four cardinal compass points.

I started at about the South Eastern corner at Point Hicks and traveled to the North Western corner at Broome via the Oodnadatta Track, the lambert centre, the Tanami Track, and the Gibb River Road.



For the record, I did the trip in a Series III and the only thing that broke was the spring that operates the latch on the passenger's side door.
