Yep would have needed the clutch Rik, actually would have needed more then that. We made it 3/4 the way up and I made the decision to turn around after a failed winch attempt x2 to get me up and out of a hole. Damage equals: me bent drag link and/or tierod Tim: stuffed alternator, Disco ( sorry forgot name) broken rear axle or diff bent driver's door and smashed indicator guy who came up behind us: 1 rolled surf and guy with possible head injury. Narliest bit of drving I've done in a while, first time I have never made it up. Not a bad afternoon really. Post the pics and vds

No he wasn't with us Mike. Doesn't mean he ain't a site member though. Could have seen the thread and just rocked up. And that track is definitely hard and dangerous now, but fun.

The surf was still on all four wheels when I arrived (I was going down, them going up) Icouldn't get past them so tried to winch them up, alternator died so had to stop winching

, decided to tow it backwards with one of his mates who was behind him, said to him take it quietly, but he went like a madman and surf ended up resting nicely on its rims (not quite rolled), I secured it with my winch and waited for John to come down with his PTO winch on the track above us, got the surf back onto all 4 wheels and safely into the ruts and his friend to then tow him like a madman down the track and outa our way

His injury occured when he was outa the crap and down the hill a bit, his hand brake didn't hold and truck went backwards and his door hit him :roll:

of all the bad luck

My day consisted of winching, towing, getting everything covered in clay, engines reving, mudsling, fun :!:

but shit the trucks a mess :shock:

Got a spare alternator to chuck on and ready for next weekend

It was good fun, I think I spent more time hooking ropes onm walking up and down and slipping over than actually in a truck

absolutely covered in mud/clay...

great fun... you forgot to mention the terrano and rangie that were there before us, who were getting really stuck and breaking lots...

Some great shots there, glad in a way I wasnt able to join you as there was far too much mud there for me.

By the looks of it noone has got any futher than that up the track in some time, Rumour has it there is a dozer going over it soon.

4x4boy · Post by **4x4boy** » Mon Aug 07, 2006 11:25 am

An excellent afternoon up the Spur. Mud and clay for miles. Fist time out with the disco. Lovin it. Busted the front indicator (I knew we should have welded that last piece of the winchbar back on H2O) dented drivers door and broke the rear axle. All this is cheaper than my last trip out with the Mu. Made it all the way back down with only front wheel drive (not bad eh). The guy who got in trouble with the Surf has no ties with ORE. I have seen him out at the Mac a few times and he is just a casual 4wder, but I reckon he owes us ORE guys a few beers. If it wasn't for us he would still be up there lying on his side. Well done guys.

Was talking to a guy from CHC 4wd club, they were planning on doing a working bee on it, but the trail bike club didnt want them to so the council said no and are now staying out of it... looks like its just going to get progressively worse

MATT4U · Post by **MATT4U** » Mon Aug 07, 2006 6:31 pm

really, that just means we are going to need bigger tyers

Shane · Post by **Shane** » Mon Aug 07, 2006 7:54 pm

It was an interesting day thats for sure,I have been up there in wet conditions much like sunday before approx 3 months(took close to 4 hrs to reach the top but we did)ago and its become even more differcult since then.Due to the nature of the track recovery can be challenging at best of times let alone slippery as on sunday.I think that under the conditions we all did pretty darn well recovery wise,with a mixture of people(not all in the same groups) helping out.I'm not sure what we would have done if John wasn’t there with the P.T.O winch on the nissan to pull the surf on its side out,as it was the share pin broke on the first attemp(had some spares)and used a snatch block on the second go to get it totally out.With out the surf moved we werent going down thats for sure.
Anyway I'd like to thank everyone who helped out.

Shane

Side note:Having two shorty nissan's up there on 35's(Glens tyres were probley past there best also)made lite work of tracks I was getting stuck on with the 33's and the lockers not much use when the wheels aren’t touching the ground :cry:

The only pics I have

4x4boy · Post by **4x4boy** » Mon Aug 07, 2006 7:56 pm

Any excuse for larger tyres is good by me. Besides that might keep the cowboys out.

Leithfield · Post by **Leithfield** » Mon Aug 07, 2006 9:14 pm

Damn it looks like you guys had fun, those conditions present a real challenge; wish I could have joined you. Might have to take a run up there myself this coming weekend. Any one keen on a sequel?
