we were already loaded on this trip 3 months ago (and one guy had to walk, although a few others choose too as well )

This area cannot be taken lightly and you can't have too many rigs in there (i reckon that 5 at a time is the absolute maximum). It took us 7 hrs to go about 5kms, that does include a 1 3/4 hrs for a breakdown repair though.

Your 35" tyres look really small in this terrain.

On and on a footnote, the two hiluxs (both of which have been ruined because they have V8's, and Tim's one doubly bad because it is shortened) were the only trucks that did not see a strap or winch rope or even a spanner. (well not in a big way anyway )

[muddyhilux]

absolute tops looking trip there guys,good effort and awesome looking rigs

It was an awesome couple of days away, top company, top terrain, and I can assure you farking challenging (as a good trip should be )

Just at the end of that vid.. Was Nib going to get his feet wet and spot the line? or just that the sheep manure in his gumboots was awkward.

[niblik]

dont hate the player wex meewing...

yeah callum, cowpats were a bit much so thought i'd soak for a bit.. decided to spot the line a tad too..

a vid of rok goin through the 'squeeze'...


and hosehustler..


others comin..

i had some other footage of other areas but alas icedjohnno used the camera and accidentally switched it onto nightshot mode.. unfortunately this means the whole thing is an albino doin bukkake in a snowstorm.. then the next day i was first through the 'squeeze' and he had left the lense cap on.. double doh!?! ah well...

[Taz]

Where's the one of Johno going through with his trailer?

[hosehustler]

some bush welding of course on a rock trip, jumper leads, car batteries, rods, and skills
Tom can weld wicked at home/work but his temp welds held for the rest of this trip........I think nibby may have some fun disassembling .

WICKED

[crazyclark31]

have done that fixing a pto winch driveshaft. Wasn't done anywere as well or easy as tom did. Is a handy thing to be able to do when bush though.

Gota take me hat of to you guys. that kinda driving has gota be tuff.

just out interest which of tyres you guy run seem to work best on the rock?

[rokhound]

Playing on wet rocks (which is what NZ has to contend with) Swampers win hands down. The MTR's are also pretty good. Simex's beat the swampers in the mud, but are crap on the rocks. There are other good stickies available, but I haven't seen them perform here yet, will get a look when CCS gets his machine sorted.

[andrew007]

what size are your swampers grant?are they on beadlockers,& how many psi did you run for this trip?
cheers andy

39.5 x 15.5 x 16.5.
I don't see the use in external bead locks as we can pop an internal bead just as easy as an external one. Internal bead locks are the go, but I run on 8" wide rims and that seems to hold them on alright.
Don't know pressure I had them at. Normally run 5-15psi but I think they were more like 20psi this time. It was this trucks first decent run and I overlooked heaps of things that I would normally check out because I was keen to get into it

[hiriklux]

Rok just loves his small tyres ............. one day he will buy some big proper sized ones

[geckoadventure]

[keithal]
