Billy made it all the way through with his low height, 30 inch tyred Standard Bighorn!

(I think I got that right)

Those that got stuck, almost tried to get stuck. Those that didnt want to, just didnt! Cept Al that is!! ;-)

Did you have ya diff lock in Al? If so, then that works out to be the same as me, 2 open diffs = 2 wheel drive at best! :wink:

Not far off Elmo, running 31's and a bit of a lift in the front, but short compared to everyone else!!
It was a good day that was a great exercise in driving on pea gravel, dropping the tyre pressures made a huge difference.

I have started an album for the trip, I have set up the permissions so everyone who was there can add photos to it.
Here is the link.

Selwyn River Trip 28.1.07 Photos

Now the embarrassing part, I have added the user names I know but there are a few gaps.

Of the 10 trucks there this is who I have so far.

Me :roll:

Elmo
Matt4u
albundy
kaney
mud_slinger

Can the rest please put their hand up and let me know their user names so I can add them to the list.

I have also included philux as he may want to add photoâ€™s but was on a ride along with Elmo.

Cheers

Alex

billyvanboheman · Post by **billyvanboheman** » Sun Jan 28, 2007 8:37 pm

Mr Mud_slinger, atatched is a screen dump that shows when you are in the album, the drop box ,top right that says admin options.

Screen dump

if you click on it and then select add photos it comes up with another window that is just like a normal file transfer.
select the photo or photos from your pc and click upload, make sure that pop up blocking is off or else it wont work!

If it's going through Ok you should see the pop up box with the picture of two computers and arrows between them.

If you have any problems give me a shout and I will send detailed instructions.

Cheers

Alex

ok i thnk it worked. had to turn pop up blocker off. thanks alex

billyvanboheman · Post by **billyvanboheman** » Sun Jan 28, 2007 8:56 pm

No problem,
I take it you got the classic shot that looks like Noodle the dog bailing from the Nissan Camo submarine, looks like those last shots were below Chamberlains ford where we left!!

Cheers

looks like everyone had a good time. count me in on the next one...30's or no 30's

Only problem I had was a high temp gauge near the end of the trip, turned out to be from where the fan had punctured the radiator during one of the fordings :!:

Spent a few hours getting it out last night, now working on the fix and a solution to stop it happening again :!:

Good to hear you decided to contribute to the ORE Forum lil_tank.
I had seen your truck at a place just round the corner from me.

Thanks for putting your photo's on the album for this trip, hope to see you at more trips in the future, Noodles was a bit of a laugh to have along as well.

Is anyone keen to put together a trip report for the day? Always good to see a write up of the events of the day!
