aye a brilliant day out cheers Timbar, Tombo2009 & tIMBO'S BOSS.................... I've been on the pop all afternoon and night so unfortunatelae am not capable of trying to load any phots right now and by the looks of things, I dont have any thing different to Timbars apart from his nicely buckled wheel rim, after his Dukes of Hazard impression..................... I have to admit mate, I have never ever seen anything that big jump so high ever. Hopefully Timbo will have some good photos to put up

Clunk
15th April 2012, 08:26 PM

Had to attach a strap to it and the other end to a tree and try to pull the bull bar out a bit so it would stop rubbing and tearing up the tyre.

they were just stock tyres and rims, but now we have maxxis muddies on so that will help, there were two guys in gq's with lifted suspension and mud tyres and they went straight up no real worries at all, i think we would do a lot better now with the 33 muddies on, even the chicken track was a slippery battle to get to.

Hey Damien, western power have been up there recently and graded it, due to wanting to do some work on the lines at some point. Not sure on the extent of the work they've done so can't say what condition the track is....... As I haven't been up there for a few weeks.
Hopefully they haven't completely leveled it. So here's hoping for a bit of rain and a few hundred cars to go up there AND return it to all its glory.

Taps a lot!!!!!!
