QLD , Glasshouse Mountains (EOI)

[04OFF]

Thinking about maybe going up to the Glasshouse Mountains this weekend, was thinking Saturday, anyone keen ?



EDIT



We are now meeting @ 2.30pm , at BP Caboolture, then head up to GH for the afternoon and on until after dark (for a bit of a night run)



Finish time will vary as each person gets tired, but say we stay out till 8.30, that's still at least 5hrs wheeling, some may wish to stay longer, or go earlier, no pressure to do either.




We can stop around 5.30 -6pm for a feed, so bring what ever food you need.

As it will get dark, a torch would be a good idea.


UHF 17 (if not taken)


About 10 cars coming so far (some standard spec)

[nissannewby]

Could be. What time are you thinking?

[04OFF]

Normally like to get there no later than 9am, but im almost tempted to do a after lunch start, and then stay till after dark for some "night running", the stars out that way look amazing.

Depends whos keen, open to all or any suggestions , just wanna do "something" !:wink:

[nissannewby]

Yeah I would rather do the later run as I have stuff to do at home.

[Ben-e-boy]

I still havnt fixed my cv yet.... lazy I know

[89gqpatrol4x4]

would be keen but going to lcmp to watch winch challenge

[lhurley]

I'm keen if this becomes an arvo thing. I knock off work at 130 at browns plains. Can always catch up with you guys later.

[04OFF]

I still havnt fixed my cv yet.... lazy I know

Shame, shame, shame (lol) , how long has it been off the road now ?, before I rolled wasn't it ? (ha-ha)

Give you something to do Saturday morning :wink:

Cool, afternoon/night it is then, sunset on sat is about 6.40 (last light about 7pm)



Lachlan, im guessing you would be arriving @ GH around 4pm then ?, we can easy organise to meet you somewhere.

(BTW, Any of those guys that came on the last GH trip you organised are more than welcome mate.)




Matty, what time would suit you to meet ? BP Caboulture would suit me, as you know your way around/into GH better than me, save me getting lost (ha-ha)

[lhurley]

Should be able to get there by 3ish. Wasn't planning on stopping home if I don't need to.

[04OFF]

So could meet at BP Caboolture @ 2.30pm ?


Hows that with you Mat ?

[lhurley]

No need to wait around anywhere for me, I can catch up, or meet up a little later.

[macca86]

I could be keen

[MEGOMONSTER]

I wish I wasn't 2 states away.
Glasshouse sounds like fun fun fun.

Leave tomorrow, you'll be here in time :p

[MEGOMONSTER]

If it were only that easy.

[04OFF]

I could be keen

Be good to catch up for a wheel again Steve, if you can make it out :clapping:

[gaddy]

Tempting I've never done glasshouse style 4wd ( I like beaches ) but don't think me or my highway oriented tyres would be up for that sort of stuff

[nissannewby]

Tempting I've never done glasshouse style 4wd ( I like beaches ) but don't think me or my highway oriented tyres would be up for that sort of stuff

It will be fine mate. My sister has her GQ wagon in there with stock suspension and highway terrains. There are ways around most things.

Oh and Steve I'm coming and so is Sharee, so 2 vehicles here. I just have to pick a mate up at caboolture.

[04OFF]

Tempting I've never done glasshouse style 4wd ( I like beaches ) but don't think me or my highway oriented tyres would be up for that sort of stuff


You would love it mate, i went there my first time on bald road tyres, no lift, no experience and had a ball, pretty much everything has a chicken track, and were not out to bash up anyones truck, just get out there and explore and have some fun.


Most tracks in and out of the place you can do easy in 2wd, then choose a harder side track/s if you want to have a play !


Come for a look, knowing you have other vehicles along, and if you don't like it, just go up to the lookout or something, worth a look also.

[lhurley]

Tempting I've never done glasshouse style 4wd ( I like beaches ) but don't think me or my highway oriented tyres would be up for that sort of stuff

Youll be fine mate, we got a stock paj through on bald highway slicks. Im about having fun, not smashing up my car. Besides i am playing it safe, so i can help you out mate.

[Yendor]

I'm keen. Will be good to give the new Patrol a run.

[Yendor]

Tempting I've never done glasshouse style 4wd ( I like beaches ) but don't think me or my highway oriented tyres would be up for that sort of stuff

It's OK my Patrol is stock as well. We can help each other out.

[04OFF]

Sweet thanks Rodney, glad you can make it, look forward to seing the new rig bud.:clapping:

Good stuff mate, look forward to it!

Yeh forgot about that, i was very surprized it followed us everywhere ! (well i followed him actually, so i got front row seats)

[gaddy]

Yep ok the wife wants to know if its families or blokes only

[macca86]

I'll come on sat if I don't have to head to the farm and prep the lamb for a BBQ next week

[Ben-e-boy]

I'll come on sat if I don't have to head to the farm and prep the lamb for a BBQ next week

I am so looking forward to that.........

[04OFF]

Yep ok the wife wants to know if its families or blokes only


Families are always welcome mate, I should add tho ,if it really is your first time real "off roading" , that due to the hours of bumping and rocking, and the fact there is no exciting final destination (e.g a campground), my better half and my daughter opt to stay at home, my son and myself on the other hand, just love it :wink:

[Oldmate1]

Spewing I have a 60th to go to on Saturday. Never been before always say to the misses we should just try the tracks that
Run next to the highway when we go to maroochydore. Next time I hope I can make it

[gaddy]

I'm in , time and place please

[nissannewby]

Yep ok the wife wants to know if its families or blokes only

Families even better as my parents are bring their GQ out and my sister is bringing hers too :). The folks has a 2" lift and all terrains, the sisters is standard :).

[gaddy]

The other half just wanted to know if any other families were going

04OFF not so much fist time just been a few year's since any real 4wd trips . I have 2in lift and 33s so might as well use it , plus can't not have something to talk about in a couple of weeks

Steve

[megatexture]

I might be able to make this one also fingers x.

[04OFF]

Ok, looks like we've got a few cars (about 10) so cool

Just got off the ph with newby, he's been working on meeting everyone @ 2.30pm , BP Caboolture (this then can inc Lachlan), so we will stick with that, ill add it to the first post.



Depart time will vary as each person gets tired, but say we stay out till 8.30, that's still at least 5hrs wheeling, some may wish to stay longer, or go earlier, no pressure to do either.

UHF 17 (if not taken)

[lhurley]

At the earliest (not speeding) I can get there at 3. I know glass house reasonably well so I'm more then happy with just catching up. I will call you Steve when I leave the bp.

I've got an inverter and led work light I'm taking as well.

[megatexture]

[lhurley]

Was a great trip. Thanks to everyone who came, and to 04off for putting this together. I had a ball. Hopefully the few that stayed back found some nice tracks and got some footage at least.
Next time I won't go to work early in the morning so I can stay later.

It was my first time wheeling at night as well. Makes everything so much more interesting. Love it.

[NP99]

Yeah I have a press but I cannot get the nut undone with the tooling I have at home at present. I need a good vice and the appropriate tool for the nut or make one up.

PM sent mate...

[AB]

Just got home, what a great time, thanks to everyone that came out (we had 10 cars total), newby and hurley your knowledge of GH made this trip so much better (mega later on too), some of the guys and gals in stockos did outstanding jobs of following everywhere, and did not shy away from much at all (you guys rock) :049:


We did some even wilder tracks once we got down to 4 cars later in the evening, again guys , id have never found such fun on my own, so thanks for making the most of it with me.




I put my son in charge of pics, so no idea what we've got, but he is normally pretty good, allowed me to have lots more fun driving, I didn't take any night stills as planned, as there was no stars at all, in fact I didn't take a single pic I was having so much fun !

Ill go through whats in the camera later today :)

[megatexture]

Just now home, again cheers for a good day/night hopefully every one else got some pics as I got only a few and a few vids

[gaddy]

I have lumps of mud on the roof , I don't do things like that ! Today will be spent putting mud flaps back on and tail lights back in and straighting my sidestep !!!!

[lhurley]

I just had a look at the vids i got. Like usual they dont do any justice to the terrain. I will put them up later.

I so wanted to stay back, but i was knackered. Very keen to do it again.

[Yendor]

Thanks for the great day out. Special thanks to 04OFF, Ihurley and Newby (even though he wanted to throw mud at my truck....lol).

Met some new people and had a ball playing on the tracks.

Well done guys :thumbup:

[04OFF]

PICs , (all taken buy my 15yr old son)

Its nice to get some photos of my own car in action for a change :wink:

Never gone that hard before amandas first words when she started breathing again were glad I didn't see the tachometer !!

It was probably the same red her face would have been at you if any more damage was done lol

No real damage and most of it was already there but sliders are next

This video is off my go pro. Cant see much as its dark, but well neither could i while i was driving. This is going down a lump steepish hill.

Should have had troy with the sun on wheels behind you to light the way , I'm sure he's scared of the dark !

[lhurley]

Should have had troy with the sun on wheels behind you to light the way , I'm sure he's scared of the dark !

That would of been a good idea. Once I get my car back I might invest in a small sun of my own. I was impressed for sure.

[gaddy]

I never understood the hype around light bars till I saw his in action ,

[megatexture]

Even 1 is enough.. But 3 is better:bananarock:

[lhurley]

Even 1 is enough.. But 3 is better:bananarock:

While you were behind me I could see a gap between them. Need another around the windscreen to fill that gap :p

[gaddy]

When your mate in the lux was behind me his looked to be dull it was more like head lights brightness , was not annoying at all , is it a cheaper bar , or not been set up correctly ?

[megatexture]

When your mate in the lux was behind me his looked to be dull it was more like head lights brightness , was not annoying at all , is it a cheaper bar , or not been set up correctly ?

Im not sure? His is the same light as mine as we bought a few at the same time so it should be the same but it wouldn't surprise me if something's not done right, hilux are negative switched and when you start the car his light bar flashes, I've looked it over and it seems to be working fine and wired correctly but it just has a strange flash when the car starts..

Thanks for telling me though I'll compare them next time I see him and have another look.

Sure it wasn't due to there being only one ? Or maybe his isn't adjusted straight though that's hard to do with a light bar lol

[gaddy]

Probably just the fact it was a single , and my dust covered tinted windows made it look that way

[megatexture]

Cheers ill have a look all the same.
