On the 1st day most of the trucks were the average run of the mill trucks like you see down here.

On the Ralleywood day over half the trucks were trial trucks and trailer queens and very modified with v8s and commy V6s so went very well.
We dont see that kind of truck on our westcoast tracks.

Very steep greasy rock faces up at ralleywood and a person can't afford to shut off so therefore you slide into trees and an ordinary truck would be stuffed straight away.

Janet just said. Like a lot of petrol hills over and over

I didn't see how most performed because I was with Jafa and Skid ,but Jafa's truck is Awesome

Cheers Richard

Janet couldn't do much videoing because there is no where to stand safely but this is typical of a rallywood track.

Here are another couple at Rallywood

Alice Way

Image

Hebden Climb

Image

This is why Ralleywoods is tough on trucks because if you want to drive it you crash into trees.

This climb took my mirror off, top of snorkel and pushed the side in worse than before . Worth every cent though

Image

Thats about it for vids. I was going to put one of Badnuz towing the hilux in his little Zuk but Jerry has aready done that.

I'm going to buy me a grubber and take out the little bit at the top that throws you too much, even Jafa had to have a couple of goes at it :roll:



Richard, theres a couple missing that I really want to see...................

Alice Way, where you took the line that nobody takes and pulled it off

Rovers Revenge, where you outdrove everyone in one go

Turoa mentioned on another thread he couldn't get up " Rovers revenge ".

There was a reason for that and if you look closely at the video you will see his battery jumps out of the truck and rips the lead in half.

I personally like his attitude and I am sure he would have made it.

heres a lil useless info that you may find amusing ...
well i do now anyhow to some extent .

after coming home late on sunday the mrs was a lil odd .... didnt say a hell of a lot .. didnt even ask if i had broken the truck like normal...

Monday .. still very very quiet ......
Tuesday ... figured something was wrong so up nice n early to cook a awesome brekky and a coffee for her before she woke up ( damage control ) only to be told she wasnt hungry and was late had to rush off ...

got home mid arvo to find my room looking a lil odd .... took some time after looking at all the obvious things .. then off to the fridge for a beer .... a note on one last can ...

this is how it went .

" i figured you'd go straight to the fridge don't be alarmed when you go in and see my things have gone .. i think you need to figure out whats more important to you . your truck and playing in puddles or me if i dont hear from you in the next few days ill assume your out buying new gumboots "

after reading this i was quite parched and needed more drinks .. soo off i went had a ponder and well

they aint puddles man they are bogs she hated 4wd'n and well plenty more fish in the sea aint there

so my mates been here having a few quiets ( just left ) and we came to the conclusion trucks are better than ( most ) chicks due to the fact you can thrash the snot outta them all day and even let ya mates thrash em from time to time ..
park em up for a week covered in crap and do it all again next weekend without a hint of whining or having to go to dinner with the folks etc ..
i mean has your 4wd ever told you that you need to go visit a mechanic and be on your best behavior lol

man im gonna have a hangover in the morning :lol:

well ... im now committed to 4wd'n i think

Jafa took me to Ayers Rock for a challenge. He got up after a bit of a struggle.

It was obvious momentum was needed. Had 4 goes under full noise slammed a tree and got towed up by Jafa.

Results. smashed light. Bent bull bar

it's a hard road to find the right truck/woman :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:
