    10km took an hour sliding from table drain to table drain!

    Was bloody good fun! With a few clenching moments!

    When I stopped all 4 guards were full with only a shear line to delineate where rotation had occurred..

    Well Tombie I waited 48 hours for someone else to do this. All I can ask for is forgiveness




    Otherwise without pictures to show that your wheel arches were full of clay, we can only assume that they were, like the story, full of ...

    I wish I had a pic to prove it.
    All I have is the site manager who insisted it be hosed down straight away as the roads are usually watered with Saline bore water for dust control...

    I don't doubt it in the least. I just couldn't resist the play on words

    Getting back to the thread - the D697's have been great so far and I hope to give them a more serious workout at the southern end of Kakadu towards the end of next week.

    Can't wait for that report, it will be good to hear how they perform. Isn't it still wet there?

    I'll be in NT next month.

    I'd say this looked so easy because of the 697's but truth be told it's because of Gordon's perfect guidance.

    The silver one is ours=)

    P.S we were all still on road pressures.

    Nah Dan, we kept everything to off road height only. Gordon reckons going any higher decreases the efficiency of the traction control. As you can see it must have triggered the extended offroad setting in the 2nd last turn as it starts to rise just before I finish and peaks as I pull up.

    Still don't regret the llams as i use it to get the dog in the back at -30mm + access=D Plus a great backup should things fail. Mind you the rods would be just as good if not in our predicament...
