Never been to Ripley - hmmmm ... I'm keen, however one moment please whilst I confer with the minister for finance!

[Bigrig]

We're in - me and the missus (she's bringing her Rubicon as she just got a 2.5" lift and wants to test it out). I'll be in Tank of course!!! lol

Never been there so where is it? Or just meet at Ripley town centre and go from there?

[jaxt]

[YNOT]

Gears got used a few times mate - awesome ... only used the locker once when the diff pumpkin got stuck on a hump [in the video]. Stoked with the gears - they make downhill runs like that last one a piece of the proverbial - that hill was bloody steep and I was barely on the brake ...

Hey mate

It did look very smooth and controlled mate

Haha - don't know about good, but getting quicker at it ...

[Bigrig]

Yeah - a bit if a slide towards the bottom as it was seriously about 65-70 degrees! Other than that, those gears have been one of, if not the best toys I've put on Tank ... they are simply that good - I'd recommend this as a must to anyone prior to lockers, winches etc as you'll use them far more often, and it makes the job that much easier ... and less scary!!

[Cadbury]

Scotty,
What do a set of gear cost?
Cheers
Tim

[Dhuck]

Wish I had of come out, but sh!t happens. Next time. Your truck looks as if it handled it alot better and good to see Sandra tackling things now with the lift. Ruby is looking good.

$2000 on the knocker fitted for a set of 85% reduction gears (that included freight).

Mate - you would get off the leash out there in your rig - we must've said that about 20 times!!! Some of the hills are absolutely, without a doubt dual lockers, reduction gears ONLY ... We definitely need another day run out there in the coming weeks!!

Sandra did really well - the most extreme she's done to date, and speaking of dates, I reckon she'll be pulling sheepskin fur out of hers for a while to come!! She was well and truly puckered up!!!! LMFAO!!!

[Bigrig]

It was at about 9.5 on the sphinctometer for her today!!! LOL!! That said, those bloody jeeps are seriously impressive ... crap motors, expensive to own/maintain, terrible visibility all round, but by gees, by jingoes, by crikey, they are capable off road!!!

Got a mate with a pretty worked over TJ and came within a whisker of buying a unlimited Rubicon but they dont do it in a diesel and a bit small with all kids and dog woulda been a bit tight

The missus' is the unlimited Rubicon as it turns out - she has dual lockers, and electronic swaybar disconnects as standard and she hasn't even used them yet!!

Tony

i work right next to it it is fenced of but there are ways into it if you can afford the $3000.00 fine posted on the keep the f&^k out notices around the place,,,,,,, could not help myself had to have a look from what i saw in there you not missing anything

[Finly Owner]

They have also dumped piles of dirt in front of Logan Village power lines to close track, it's not working though.

Tim

And i also heard that some of Ormeau is a Gazetted Rd. So unless it has road closed signs itshould be useable as long as you stay to the road. Side tracks are not a Gazetted Rd.

Tim

[Bigrig]

You're both talking about Glider Forest I assume?? I'd never even heard of it!! That said, Ripley is open slather, but my concern is the same as below - so many d!ckheads dumping rubbish in there that it will eventually be closed off also - damn shame if it does!

[04OFF]

Great Video Scotty !

Thanks for coming out for a play, great to meet you all, i think everyone had fun :p

[Bigrig]

Correct the track that goes from the water towers all the way to upper ormeau road ( the perimeter loop I call it) is a public road. The tea cup and area 51 which are down in the valley is a no go zone according to the plod

[Ben-e-boy]

I'll be in beenleigh sunday and I'm keen for a play never been there before if anyone is keen for a couple of hours let me know

[Bigrig]

We should be right, but I'll let you know.

[Finly Owner]

Guys I'm working, but can I suggest you head to Ormeau from Cedar Ck side, and go up Shaws Pocket Rd, when the bitumen stops, keep going straight forward onto track that leads up beside house, and keep following your nose. It's up and down dale and around some bens and creek crosing(shallow as), and takes you through to meet Upper Ormeau Rd. This is a Gazetted Rd.
