I'll be there Saturday on Safety Patrol, so if you have a PRS radio I'll come and pull you out for FREE!!!!:lol:

Just fitted a Tigerz11 Two Speed winch to the front of Mudhog while I sort out the fitting of the Twin Motor winch in the back. :twisted:

:lol: free I like the sound of that. haha

I have both PRS and CB installed just incase.

Sweet Saturday sounds like it will be the day so all good.

I have been a couple of times and done the easy and some harder tracks as my previous trucks were daily drivers but not this one so I will want to do some harder ones this time :)

Roger the owner of the park has been working pretty hard to making new play area's for the club truck's and guy's wanting something alittle more challenging. :twisted:

We (LROCA) will have 4 truck's in there on Patrol both Saturday and Sunday with winches at the ready :lol: .

How long has it been since you were last at the park?

There is plenty of Mud and Water around at the moment :lol:

Do you have a winch fitted? What toy's does your truck have in it's set up?

We will be there from 10am until the last truck is out :lol: which should be around 5:00pm :P

Sweet that sounds good haha. Lets hope its not too rough that I dont get anywhere lol.

Sweet, Nah not to much done to it at this stage still saving do get some decent mods done.

I have 1.5inch lift, 32inch M/T (new), Rancho 9000 shocks, Home made snorkel (wanted to tidy it up before I come down but no chance of that with this weather), rear LSD and plenty of Right foot :)

Winch and bar work is next on the list and eventually get to a SAS for the front as its not worth selling being a V6 so may as well invest :lol: I think a 4 corner coily Bighorn will do well.

Last time I was down there was when there was that drout over 12 months ago and I had a Turbo Safari with just M/T's and it was a walk in the park and my mate Brad had the white P38 Rangie.

So Hoping its going to be more fun this time and with the weather we have it looks like it will :)

I see all the videos from Churchill and Simon and try and think where they are but its probably changed a lot since my last visit.

The plan is to leave Whangarei at 7am and get there about 9ish I quess... What time do they actually open lol

I'm pretty keen to head out there this weekend - especially if the weather is crap, which seems likely!

Mudhog: Looking forward to seeing that dual-motor crank!

Hey Churchill, all good mate, Yeah I double checked my snorkel tonight just to make sure its all water tight. Sweet as if you know other people the more people the more fun & would be good to meet people off here and put a face to the name.

Ray, looks like it's just gonna be my truck for now so that'll be a couple less trucks to pull out...

Looking forward to this, it's been a while since I was out there. Found the new tracks Rodger cut last time we were out, they were pretty hairy (real slippery clay) as it was raining all day but lots of fun until we almost got stuck down a no exit track.

Yeah, a little of my footage is of the new tracks.
It should be good up there this weekend 8)
I won't be there as I have a date with a few Naki boys & girls, who are keen to show a couple of us Jafa's their playground.
I have heard through the grapevine, that a certain celebrity with a FJ Cruiser will be there on Sunday doing some filming of it airborne.
Have fun.
Cheers,

Phraza, it was pretty scary seeing your Shiny truck alongside that chick in the Terrano on the way home on Monday. It was like a wall of shiny 4wds :lol: :lol:
