Well, I relented and dragged them out. He'll never bag my Rover again Was amazed it never sunk in or even slipped the tyres. I dragged him out in high range with the CDL open

Oh what a feeling!

I suggested he stayed on the tar roads till things dry up a bit

Was a mate actually. Was so much fun giving him a hard time in a situation when the toyota was done! In the past he has bagged me with what did you get a Rover for!


Yes it was a dangerous recovery The ol tow ball thing I wasn't keen on the idea at all. No by standers but could have trashed my truck.

What WERE they doing driving in there in the first place??? That is asking for trouble in that terrain after any amount of precipitation

Good pic Tony Should post it on 'exploroz'

Any one is most welcome to distribute this image Wish we had the camera rolling during the recovery. The sound of a 4BD1T at 900 RPM lugging it out with ease Was just spooling up the turbo

I have many times just idled in low 1st up some huge slopes, people watching can't believe the revs never change from when I start it at the bottom until it gets to the top

And you're right, the whistle at just above idle is very 'menacing' isn't it?

dammit guys, stop making me want a 4BD1T......

anyone know whats involved in fitting one to a ED Falcon?

Must be addictive Music to the ears
One thing about the 120" Has character that is unexplainable. I have a heap of locals here that are fascinated by the shear grunt it has... Like you said, just on song and holds on with no sudden rev changes if it breaks traction.
