Nah, I think it was because he let the chocolate sauce out of his engine (see second photo).

[Heath]

Nasty. Is there a series of recovery photos?

Is the chocky sauce like the smoke you keep in electronic stuff? You know, if the smoke gets out then they dont work anymore. The smoke is like the spirit of the part and without it is doesnt go anymore.

And to think I didnt understand electrickery before, its easy really.

[mike.e]

didn't get any recovery pics unfortunately, had to winch it back in its feet with one truck and then winch it back with another (thanks coxsy, sorry about your shear pin) while the first truck stopped it rolling back over. despite the leakage of chocolate sauce and copious quantities of water in the engine, and a carby full of mud, i still managed to get it running, good old 3y petrol engine.

as to explaining how it happened, thats a bit harder. theres a track that goes up to the right of it that i was aiming for, but thanks to a bit of sideways sliding, picking a bad line, and my stupidity in thinking that if i turned hard right and put my foot down i could power out of it, i ended up with my left front wheel following the track down into the hole, while my right wheel was heading up the hill. I'm sure you can work out what happened from there. (or at least this is my rendition, it happened kind of quick and this is my best guess as to exactly how i ended up on my lid)

ill put some pics of the roof damage up soon, its surprisingly minimal considering the roll. hopefully a new windscreen and a hammer and a bit of help from porta power it will be as good as new again (well almost).

[doin_it_dirty]

Haha, damn, your 60 looked mint in that pic you put up when you first brought it, not so the case now aye.
All in the name a fun aye, more pics would be good, damn i cant wait to get to woodhill. How long till you up and running again Mike???

[Andrew1706]

You and Brocky are gonna run Auckland out of 60Surf bodies fluffy

(Andrew - Cruiser and Blizzard )

[mike.e]

hopefully up and running this weekend, got a new windscreen today, put a new side window in, just have to portapower out the roof. pity to ruin such a nice body but i guess it was only a matter of time before it got a bit bashed up. i've got some pics of the damage ill put them up tomorrow, and a few more upside down pics.

Andrew: why is it that out of our group only me and brock have rolled our trucks, must be something to do with the surfs. you coming on the next beach mission?

[UBZ]

Damm that looks like fun. (Boodly work taking me away from my truck )

I'm defiantly keen to come out next time you boys are heading out.
When are you planing the next trip to Woodhill Coxey?

[Dunerider]

Looks like I missed some fun!! I'm quite happy to NOT turn the truck over....neat trick tho Hopefully get out and have some fun soon.

[Andrew1706]

Yeah man when is that? Hella keen even in the Cruiser.. As for the rolling, Brocks truck is too high and too narrow plus he's loose You're just a noob I guess

Blizzard has 60 series Cruiser diffs under it now with 35s spring over it's about as high as Brocks truck Hoping to get it running again for a mission soon.

[coxsy]

greetings I'm back online [new pc] 22" screen.anyway not a computper set up guy ,
don't worry about the shear pin think have to much slop in the shafts joint
maybe in three weeks time for a new trip

[xj]

Hopefully i can keep mine the right way up this weekend. Looks like a lot of fun. Ill be sure to post up pics.

[minimun]

Yeah man when is that? Hella keen even in the Cruiser..

HMMM can see the cruiser might need a new door in the near future

[coxsy]

there was no recoverey photos as i was in my truck running my winch also didnt take my camera, may go for either the 23rd of aug or 1 of sept

[mike.e]

i guess i deserve the noob comment after rolling it. im sure we can get the blizzard upside down if its that high. meant to be going to the beach this weekend but not sure as theres still a few trucks not running and tony was organising it and he might be busy this weekend. we should do a mission to woodhill on the dates coxsy mentioned i'll see if anyone else is keen. hopefully i'll have the hilux running soon finally got the old screen out tony was meant to help get the roof sorted tonight but it never happened might just have to wing it on my own with a sledge hammer. it'd be nice to actually get around the park this time we only did one track before i put it on its lid

[coxsy]

found the 24th is the date as doing something else the first weekend of sept

[UBZ]

dude, my wife went around in her TJ yesterday with 31's and a 2 inch sus lift without an issue (admittedly she took the easier options, of which there is one wherever a hard track is available). We also had a stock cherokee with us, well nearly stock, he had 2 inch lift in the rear and 31's. He had a few issues but nothing major...... youll be fine

[UBZ]

I'm in for the 24th

[doin_it_dirty]

sounds good, so all hard core tracks have a easier option? i mean ide like to always go for the hard option but who wants to spend all day getting unstuck?

[coxsy]

its not a bag of laughs for the guys towing ya either

[doin_it_dirty]

exactly. all sorts of different levels of trucks going on this 24th trip?

[coxsy]

not sure till they say they are going mate ,its two weeks way, i need a new wof ,rear swaybar bent from last time ,
