Thread: Introducing DaOot

A nice sense of achievement no doubt

10 days until he leaves and we finally get DaOot out for some 4wdriving (other than the dirt road stuff he's been doing by himself)

I took a couple of days off work so we could go out to Janowen Hills 4wd park.

Needless to say I'm very impressed with DaOot & even more so with the boy child's driving.

We took a wrong turn ( I was leading ) and found ourselves on a very steep climb with an even steeper descent.

We took a few goes getting DaOot up but due to my fear of an inexperienced driver & car coming to grief & what his mother would say if something bad happened I pulled him up the last 5m or so.

We then studied the down side which had an enormous hole right beside a big tree with cut off roots sticking out of the side.

We filled the hole with some logs & rocks & gingerly descended.

I was packing it & so was TBC but he did it perfectly. Very proud Dad

Didn't get any pictures of that but we did get plenty of others.

It was fantastic to see DaOot out and about doing what she was made for & doing it so well.

Enjoy

Thanks for those great pics and videos. I'll be heading there as soon as I can after Lettie is registered!

I probably should read back through your thread, as you've probably mentioned this already, but I notice the big side windows in your hard top. Are they custom made or did the roof come like that?

Thanks again.

cheerio,

Garry

Thanks

Yes the roof came with those windows.

I didn't notice they were anything special.

I like the greater visibility. These are on mine.



I'm getting set to refurbish the roof and I'm thinking of having larger openings cut into the sides for either sliding windows like yours or hinged, fold-ups.

If you had gone the weekend before you have had us lot GCLRO to play with Good to see daOot out and about

Hi Everyone,

Been a while since I've posted here.

The boy child has finished at Kapooka & is now at Puckapunyal for 6-8 months & he wants DaOot to come and stay with him.

Good for him, sad for me.

We intend to drive her from Brisbane over 3 days or so at the end of next week so I'm very interested in a comfy seat for the trip.

I picked up some buckets from Incisor a while ago which are pretty comfortable but I may have an opportunity to get some Defender ones.

We'll take the originals with us incase he wants to get them refurbished.

What I want to confirm is that Defender Seats will fit in DaOot.

Here's a pic of the ones I got from Incisor:

defender seats are a straight bolt in for a series 3. I would assume that a they would fit yours as well.
