More a clearance thing as there are a couple of hill climbs I want to do that you drag your diff over with 33's??

Winnie
14th March 2013, 09:03 PM
What size are your road tyres?

Bloodyaussie
14th March 2013, 09:04 PM
265/75-16 can make a big difference

Winnie
14th March 2013, 09:06 PM
They're 32s...... half an inch clearance isn't much.

Got home nearly an hour ago and had a brilliant day... all agree it shits on Gembrook, he he!!!!!!!

Going through tonnes of pics and video's and later on will post up..

16th March 2013, 07:10 PM
This one was a classic.............BA had been telling us how he'd been stuck at this same hole every time he had been up there and because I'd blasted through it he thought he'd give it a go.......
Check out what happened!

16th March 2013, 07:16 PM
Looks like a good day was had by all. what happened to the Q's not getting stuck, or is it because they just spontaneously stall on ya??????? LOL....

Did ya end up doing that hill climb or was it too wet??

Bloodyaussie
16th March 2013, 07:19 PM
Why did you not show the whole thing... yeah I forgot 4wd????

Drewboyaus
16th March 2013, 07:22 PM
We didn't do that climb and we didn't get around to steep track or phone track (was getting on) either. They will be fun for those wanting a good challenge next month.
We had a good play though and found some good tracks and challenges to keep almost everyone entertained....


Tip tip tip......tap tap tap....

16th March 2013, 07:23 PM

I didn't have the rest of it......

Still makes me laugh that one way or another that hole was going to mess with you!

Now i definitely cant wait until the 12th it looks really wet and sloppy.

Drewboyaus
17th March 2013, 10:15 AM
Was pretty dry for the most part (we had to go hunting for mud) but that rain last night will have freshened it up a fair bit. Hopefully by the meet up date we'll have had some more and folks will be able to choose between rocky climbs, technical sections or muddy runs or all three.....

Bloodyaussie
17th March 2013, 10:28 AM
As it stands now there is enough to have some good fun but if it rains then there will be some serious challenges to be had while the novices can still do some easier tracks..

This Video was footage facing back at Steve's Amarok (or as I kept calling it "The VW Beetle), the start is going down the big hill climb we did in the moring then coming up the other side.

17th March 2013, 11:12 AM
Lots of mud out my way. Of course I just drove through that hole and the 60 got bogged. I ended up towing that 60 up so many hills because it couldn't do it. Got to love the torque out of the TD42, could hardly tell I was towing a 3T car behind me. POW

If you're happy and you know it tap a post!

threedogs
17th March 2013, 11:56 AM
BA a tad more momentum would have seen you do that in 2wd.
Again did you do reservoir track???
Anyone have a go at steep track
And last Can owner of Amarok PM me please Thanks

Drewboyaus
17th March 2013, 12:56 PM
TD, the Amarok belongs to a mate of mine who came along for the drive.
Winne,
Are you on 33's or 35's in the new bus?
So many of the holes now are almost impassible on anything but 35's cause the diffs bottom out.....

Yeah I'm on the same 33s I've always had, it's a bit the same my way too, too many wankers with HUGE tyres wrecking the tracks for everyone else. Only time you need HUGE tyres are when other people have created big ruts with HUGE tyres.
