worsleys rd

Post by daneo »

went up for a look at Worsleys track today for the first time, had my pretty stock surf and a mates Isuzu Mu standard apart from 31 muds, was a beaut of a night! did pretty well for our first time defiantly the most challenging track I've been on so far! :lol: was really dry up there so the trickiest part was navigating round and over rocks and avoiding all the giant ruts(31" tyres :| ) would be great fun in the wet. Think we got about half way up then decided to call it a night as the Mu's transfer case was going to take a beating on the rocks. took a few pictures

check out that articulation.... :roll:

You should try it in the snow :D :D We went up a few years back, 7 trucks, real wet. All modified as well. None of us made it up, too much damage and we had to recover a rolled vehicle, some muppets thought it was a good idea to follow us :lol: :lol: .

Haha yea i don't think my 31" AT's would cope to well with snow! am going to wait until i get some 33" muds and some bash guards then have a proper shot at getting to the top, hopefully its wet next time! :D . I think its a good learning track as long as you take your time and are not stupid about it, I can see how easy it would be to roll up there without the proper setup, we got out of the trucks and walked a couple of the hard parts before attempting them

Why does almost everyone want to go up there in the wet???????? :roll: :roll: :roll:

It is WAAYYY more fun in the dry. Lots of traction, Lots of wicked articulation work outs, Lots of flop overs, And even 1 rock to climb up and down :twisted: :mrgreen: :mrgreen: .
