You obvisley went to a testing station. Rolling roads are not good for 4x4s that spend time in the mud.
And as for rust if they cant see it they cant fail you :wink:

Just a quick question, do you just want us to carry basic recovery gear and have suitable tow hooks? or is there some other magic things we should be carrying?

Also thought i better check if there is much water out there at this time of year? Any areas that require a snorkel?

Cheers

Have uploaded Photos from the morning. Vids still to come but they seam too big? Anyway...

I missed taping the highlight of the day :cry: . After comming out of the below hole this truck spun 180 degrees and lifted up onto 2 wheels :shock: - on flat ground! Dont know how it didn`t tip over cause it was pretty much on its side but a very nice bit of driving saw it come back down on all 4's.

Callum as usual getting at least one wheel off the ground:

Should have read Callums signature line Keri - Dont follow him...

Bloody good day, thanks guys!

A bit of a shame i had to leave early after destroying my clutch.... wasnt even able to limp home, had to go and get the GU so we could tow it home.

I have a few pics up on my site

Just to correct MNC it was not good driving that kept it on all 4 wheels but more dumb luck :oops:

In short when learning to drive with lockers dont turn full lock and put your foot up it. Your undies will never look the same :shock:
