So you enjoyed that weekeend then? I recognised your truck outside the seddonville pub from some of the photo's on here. We had a fantastic time to, pity we couldn't do the Monday due to the trek home. 2100km well worth it.

We brought the Sheep Shagger Hilux up, rapt with how it went up there!

Got round that track (Flags Track) you guys started on the Saturday, went through alot of chainsaw petrol not to mention loads of winching!

Did you do any damage? 1 wing mirror coming out of little totara was our damage for the weekend so pretty pleased.

I put a small bent in bonnet was traveling about 0.00005kph(3 point turn)there was a tiny hole at base of tree,I was going to nudge tree to get max turn when R/F wheel fell in hole and tree nudged bonnet instead of bull bar :shock:
I call that a wasted dent :(

this is the 3rd year we have done Flags track,the first time we spent all day and only got to the first bridge,we had 4 chain saws that time and got through alot,many hands make lite work.

this year we only had one saw,as the group got split,half helping with broken cv and half cutting.

Sounds like it well be one of the best tracks there now its been looped :D

I think Flag must sleep there sometimes

hey mate, i too have a sheep shagga and was wondering if you have attached any hooks up the front?? main problem i see is that the plastic bumper hangs over the chassis rails. was considering building something to space them down a bit but that would take approach angle down. if you have any ideas or suggestions let me know!! cheers, gary
