This Thursday is the showing of Norwest winch challenge AT 8.30 PM ON STRATOS/SKY 89. You will see why it is important to have a stronge roll cage. There is some footage of my hilux #55 rolling wheel to wheel twice and driving back up the hill. The hill was very drivable just the driver cocked up again. The damage to the truck was minimal.
One right guard and three bent rims and the super charger pocked its nose through the bonnet for a look around and a cracked window.
The truck was then checked for roll cage damage and cleared and the rims were changed for the last stage of the weekend.
Thanks to those who loaned me there rims and tyres ( the top three drivers 4 the weekend ). Now that is team spirit.
The other damage to the truck was done on trees the days before and the ditch that smashed out the front on the nite stage.
If you get the chance to watch 4wd tv on thursday please think IS my roll cage strong enough to handle that type of roll over.
My truck weighs 2250kg comp ready with tools and two in it. Main roll bar is 2" and the front hoop is 1 1/2" 3.2mm and 3.6mm wall.
Happy viewing
Cheers Klembo
