The trip is at Bunyip state forest and we will meet at Gembrook Post Office at 9am this Saturday the 23rd Feb, we will be using UHF17 for this meet unless there are heaps of bozo's then we will change.
There are about 10-12 cars I think and we will stop for lunch, bring what ever takes your fancy.

Healy will be leading the drive as this is his stomping ground and all are welcome.

Jonathan can I invite a coupe of yota driving mates? A 60 and a Hilux. They're older blokes (older by my standards, in their 30s) so not young hoons. Not sure if they will come but would like to invite them, they're mates from work. Maybe a Pajero as well?

Bloodyaussie
10th February 2013, 08:06 PM

Well ppl I regretfully have to pike out of this on as Tan's grandfather has been pretty crook for quite some time now and has taken a bit of a turn for the worst. We keep trying to go around but every time we are all well enough he has been having a bad day and visa/versa. He cant afford to even so much as get the sniffles especially after the chemo when his system is low as it is. Now with the turn for the worst we cant leave it much longer and he is going in for his next treatment the next week after the day trip and we are not sure how well he will recover after this one, so we have decided to bite the bullet and go down on sat while we still have the chance.

So,so sorry but will definitely organize one in the next couple of weeks or so.

22nd February 2013, 03:55 PM
From experience every time i fix a cooling system like a radiator or welch plugs the seal on the water pump goes, i'm pretty sure its from the glycol in the coolant so i warn my customers every time coz unless its been on the car for less then 12months they will leak within 1 hr to a month. I've had them leak soon as the car has gotten to NOT on many occasions, but lucky for you that you picked up now and not after it drained the cooling system hey!!

Notable shoutouts to big Peter(if I'm calling someone big you know they're a monster) and his bosslike driving up those rocks blazing the trail, Healys 150kg right foot and his amazing on the fly weight reduction capabilities, Andrew for the wee tow and Roofy for being an all around nice bloke(thanks for the cuppa).

I bailed with Roofy and Irish at the first of those big ledges on Bullock Link after watching Peter and Healy smash their sliders and steps respectively in a couple of places.....currently I have zero sill protection and the thought of heading home with bashed sill panels didn't excite me......as Irish has said I think it's just bumped sliders right up the list of mods.

Looks good boys, still dusty even after the rains..

No rain there mate... as I kept saying (annoyingly ) I bet Tallarook was soaking wet.

Ok this is how it was for me and Erica....

I did most of the day say 98% in 2wd and was not challenged, I was also being annoying with my comments he he!!

Then some bright spark or shall we say legend suggested we go do a couple of other track that he had been wanting to check out... on ya Andrew!!!

This is were my constant bragging about 2wd got put in its box, we did some medium tracks (still in 2wd) then we came across the rocks and much discussion was had in whether to have a go or turn back.

Peter (Healy's mate) said he would have a crack in his GU 4.5 with lift good tyres and rock sliders, it took a bit of work but we got him up on his own steam.

Then it was put out there to see if anyone else would have a go and Healy was already scrambling down the hill to get to his car... Healy is a bit heavier on the right foot and at first I thought it was the reason he was really struggling to get up this???

Then it was discovered his LSD was not working at all and it was like driving an old Hilux with one wheel in the air the other was not turning... so his mate Peter turned around and with his TIGERZ11 winch pulled him out with ease..

The spotlight was on me now as it was decided by nearly everyone else I was going up this whether I liked it or not.... plus we could not have 2 GU's go up and no GQ's so after a little fiddling to get other cars moved about to let me passed I took off!!!

Lets just say this.... I did the GQ's proud and got up the whole thing with little effort and it is only the last bit that you really rely on direction from a spotter that I have 2 go's at it but da da daaa!!!

So now we were split into 2 groups and have agreed to meet at the bottom of Rocky track, from here it was a little tricky but not too hard then Healy thought a big bog hole would be a good idea?????? strange boy!!!!

It took a while and with no luck with a forward winch I opted for Peter to winch him back out up the hill and it worked really well, in fact better than I hoped.

On our way again... with no working Lsd the next section proved tough and 32's that were almost stuffed did not help so I had to revers back down this track and that is where I started to get all the damage with guards and mud flaps ripping off..

After a few goes we finally got going with me dragging the gu through this pretty tough track, once to the top it was smooth sailing and was even a bit of fun, I was trying on the UHF every minute to reach the others and after about 15min I heard Roofy's sweet voice...

Rocky track was easy and I could have used my wifes car and once at the bottom we were all re-united... after a quick chat everyone buggered off and Irish stayed with me while I aired up and had a well deserved beer....

The drive home was a killer and poor Erica was stuffed... she really is a trooper as many of you know, we got home at about 8.45pm... one long day...

I enjoyed the challenging stuff and met some more great people who I hope to go 4wding again.

I want to thank Peter(Irish) and Roffy for being so patient and waiting for us not knowing what might have happened and understand Andrew with the whole family you had to go.

The next trip will be in my stomping ground so look out!!!!!
