I'm still without a truck but anyone got anything planned and fancy a winch bitch for the day? Been ages since I've been out and I'm getting the shakes :shock:

It's my birthday sunday and missus reckons I should do something I love: read 4wdriving. Will give it a thought and post something. Any ideas on what you want to do, river, hills, mud, ruts....f*** it, all of the above.

I don't really mind mate, f*** it, all of the above sounds good. Never been up Worsley, never been up the Ashley track, went on some great trips with the CR4WD club but mostly have played on the Waimak river bed and up MacLeans Island.
Just keen to get out somewhere to keep me motivated to get the FJ finished. Sunday would suit me, going climbing on Saturday.

Cheers.

i would be keen if it sunday afternoon. i dont have a snorkle so prefer not around water

worzel · Post by **worzel** » Wed Jul 12, 2006 9:07 pm

if you go up the ashley track you will need a snorkle
group off us went up sun and had some fun plenty of mud and water ended up near the okuko river(spelt wrong) and could not cross it to get out so had to come all the way back
would not advise it without snorkle and plenty of mates to help out in deep ruts and mud

33inch tyres ok 31inch mud tyres may need a little help

Could be keen for a trip up Worsley track. Haven't done it for a while and not with the Mu. Not a track for Shiney trucks though. Lots of gorse (scratches) and deep ruts. Maybe not great if wet (no lockers in Mu).

Mongoose · Post by **Mongoose** » Wed Jul 12, 2006 9:27 pm

I'd be real keen on a trip up Worsley, looks a great track but I'm not taking the new Mu up somewhere that rough. If anyone can offer a passenger seat I'm there.

kaney · Post by **kaney** » Wed Jul 12, 2006 9:28 pm

yea not real nice up there, we attempted it last sunday, got part way and had to turn round, not a track for 31's yea lots of gorse.

4x4boy · Post by **4x4boy** » Wed Jul 12, 2006 9:38 pm

If anyone else is keen then I'm happy to have a go. If not then maybe make a suggestion to alternative track.

Don't let Goose know that your saying good things about Ladas!!! We'll never hear the end of it! :roll:

Goose · Post by **Goose** » Thu Jul 13, 2006 9:57 am

Yes!! You must all bow to the force that is the mighty lada!!!!
hahaha
just go's to show that light-weight and pure ignorance can see you through.........
Pity lada's are; uncomfortable, horrid to drive on the road, noisy, die in the water and as slow as a wet week on the coast!!!!

Other than that, they're great!!

I'm still getting a surf.........

I would be keen for a trip up worsleys :thumleft:

Havnt been up there for a while, it must be very rutted by now

every time I go up there I seem to end up putting more dents in the truck!

But who needs a straight mu anyway?

You can consider yourself my winch bitch for the afternoon if you like... damned easy job, since the winch is still sitting on the workshop floor :lol:

It was a round-about way of offering you a seat... if you still want one (or if you want THIS one :lol:

)

Mongoose · Post by **Mongoose** » Thu Jul 13, 2006 1:30 pm

Dirty Niva in river is GOOOD :twisted:

Clean Niva on smooth tarmac BADDDDDDD :evil:

Now, repeat after me...

Ahhh, I see, I did not get that. Too subtle for a Scotsman I'm afraid.

In which case, yes, fantastic that would be awesome. Has anyone actually decided where we're going?

Goose · Post by **Goose** » Thu Jul 13, 2006 1:33 pm

yeah, well..... it is bloody good fun in the lada up there.....

but it's a pig to a-frame, wheels keep opposite locking around corners, which while very entertaining for other road users........ I tow it with me au2 falcon, y' know?????? Dont wanna hurt my everyday car...

but it would be fun.......

awwwww, I'm all confused now!!! Thanks guys!!!! :lol:

You haven't repeated it enough times yet I think.

Mud is good, clean is bad.
