Playtime Brisbane southside

[04OFF]

Anyone keen to come out for a bit of a play this Saturday ? (3/12/11), im thinking somewhere like Ripley or other (open to suggestions) just somewhere within less than a hours drive (even scenic rim)

Not a big day, say meet around 9.30am travel and play until 3.30pm (approx 5hrs in 4wd)

[Dhuck]

Sorry I am out having a few xmas bevs. But would love to go.:(

[Warnie]

I am playing cricket, too late to bail now. Someone will wanna go with you

[Bigrig]

Sandra and I might both be in ... I'll confirm tonight.

[scotty83]

Possibly in. Just checking with the social Director. busy time of year.

[Bigrig]

We should be right for a few hours. Will have the Patrol and the Jeep.

[Finly Owner]

work christmas party sorry!

Tim

[Ben-e-boy]

Ive never been to riply It might be worth the drive down

[Mazodude]

ripley is pretty good. on some of the tracks off to the side of the main track, you will need a winch.

[2TROLLFAM]

Arrrrrr CRAP!! Ripley is like 10mins from my place but alas I work all day on a Saturday...

[Bigrig]

Was just talking to Benny about working out a meet up spot ...

How about Torq4x4 again on Johnson Road Hillcrest?? 9:00am??

[Dhuck]

Sounds good for a Sunday morning and we could take a new member for a run

[Bigrig]

It's Saturday mate - you must have misread the post ...

LMAO!!!!

[Dhuck]

Sorry mate just trying to inadvertently trying to change the day cause I am really cut I cannot make Saturday. This meet up that I am going to on Saturday only happens every couple of years.

[Bigrig]

Your not a very nice friend. :(

[Bigrig]

Your not a very nice friend. :(

It's true ...

[Dhuck]

To all apart from Scotty, what is the chances of making a day of it on Sunday. Seems that there may be a couple of others who may be able to attend on the Sunday, including my self as the Saturday has been taken for me for quite awhile now. Please!

[scotty83]

I am keen for Saturday. Some of the Navara Asia Girls and boys are keen for saturday too.

[Dhuck]

OK fine be a bunch of pussies. Don't let the new people and real off roaders join in. It will be a cr@p day for you all. lol

[Bigrig]

OK fine be a bunch of pussies. Don't let the new people and real off roaders join in. It will be a cr@p day for you all. lol

So you're the only 'real' off roader?? In that truck that you 'bought' as is?? That you've done no mods to yourself other than pull out a dent?? After originally owning a Suzuki??

I think I've made my point little fella!!!

Yep, giggling again!!! lmao

[Dhuck]

But unfortunately Scotty you have not even reached the old Zooks level of competence. That little thing went almost any where.

[hekarewe]

dhuck what can i say i feel for you mate,,,,,, BAAAAHAHAHAHAHAAHHAHHAHAHAHHAHHA i think we might be able to make it for a play date will confirm later in the week..

hey ducky harden up princess you cant get it your way all the time roflmao

[Dhuck]

Mate have had to bow out more than once in the past mate. Just would like to go on a day trip before chrissy and possibly bring a couple of new members along. You know that I am a courteous man and like to give all members a chance to get out and have a go.

[Finly Owner]

So Dhuck why don't you lead atrip up on Sunday seperate to the Saturday trip? You know that place as well as many others do. And those who like playing could go both days.


Tim

[04OFF]

Guy's !, Guys ! :fish:





I am booked out for friday night, saturday night, and all day sunday, but i am happy to change the day to Sunday if that suits more members (just means i can't go), but i am willing to "take one" for the team if it keeps more people happy :p:eck05:



Yes, Finly beat me to it (stupid server error) or...just have a trip "both" days ?

Im happy to go with the Navara clan on Sat, anyone can come along.....if Sunday suits better, Dhuck and the others can go out Sunday, or just go both days....everybody wins

[Bigrig]

Tim

Yeah Dhuck, why don't you organise a day for the 'real' off roaders to go out??!! lol

Us pussies who don't have 300kg's of steel put on by someone else before we bought it will just have to tolerate going Saturday!!!

Still giggling ...

Tim

Is all good Tim. Never been to Ripley. As for Scotty, for a change I will be sitting back sucking down a few coldies in stead of him. Besides he would not have the truck he has now if it was't for Pigtrol's influence on what a real truck can do even if it only cost a quarter of what he has forked out to even get Tank close. rofl

True on all counts (except the cost to date) ...

I guess I'll just go out sit in my comfy leather seats (without smacking my leg or head on the rollcage), turn on my nice 7" LCD stereo running through 7 speakers, put up my electric tinted windows, turn on the air conditioning (without worrying it'll leak out through all the holes in my floorplan), and ponder all the pitfalls of owning Tank!!!

Giggling harder ... Want to have a lash at making me full on laugh???!!! lmao

If Finly was registered... and I wasn't doing two chriisy parties this weekend... my starndard leaf sprung LWB (2t lighter than pig troll) would come and crawl throught he bush like a true 4b should.



So now you should be splitting your sides with laughter, BUT I BELEIVE!

[RustyNav09]

Looks like a day of getting the car ready tomoz. Time to see how the chip performs with the off road stuff

[Yendor]

So what's the terrain like out at Ripley? is it clay based?

With all this rain about is it a waste of time heading out if you don't have mud tyres?

[Ben-e-boy]

What are the numbers so far??
Me
o4off
bigrig and sandra
scotty83+ ???
rusty nav+???

and more to the point how many navara's will we need to recover

[RustyNav09]

Well scotty83+ will be me plus others from navara forum. Good base when wet 4wd low and go go go. It will be a fine day tomoz so it will dry up and be good for Sat

[Bigrig]

You'll be right mate - most hard tracks are actually really short and feed off the main track around the place - at least in the area I've seen ...

[nickpeacock36]

Im still in. see you at Torque.

[Bigrig]

Im still in. see you at Torque.

See you there mate!

Ha-ha, ^ classic.....


I suspect the Navara boys and girls will be suggesting, "they" will be the ones recovering all the Patrols tho ? :tease:


Looking forward to watch you attack some of the impossible stuff and put em back in their place :bananarock:

Im only going out on ATs mate, it should be fine, plus, there should be plenty of Navaras MORE than willing to pull us out if we get stuck (ha-ha)




So, UHF 17 as per usual

[Silver]

have fun, looking forward to the photos!

[04OFF]

Rick !.......You need to come and bring Fran, that way she can take pics then i can just drive ! :clapping:

sand, and lots of it :D. (see my avatar <---) There is lots of dirt too and mud :D.
I did it with almost bald AT's. you will be fine

[Bigrig]

Yep - UHF 17

An we had a Navara at Springs with us last time .. so whilst we may need them to pull us out, it's only because they wouldn't dare attempt the same things we do, and as such are sitting and watching the big boys play!!!! lol

They go alright, but from what I've seen so far, they are in for some damage if they follow the likes of Benny (and maybe me!! lol).

[2TROLLFAM]

LMFAO !!! You guys are nutters ...

cool.... If those navarians get a bit too cocky I'm sure me bigrig will be happy to knock em down a few pegs.

but in saying that I will probably end up on my side trying too hard to prove a point hahahahahahah

[2TROLLFAM]

Well I'm glad I'm working tomorrow so my Navara isn't picked on .... he would be a sook & watch!! HAHAHA

[Dhuck]

We may be nutters Amelia, but a great bunch to get out with.

Nothing the 'doctor' can't fix ... hopefully!!!

[RustyNav09]

Thanks for a top day. I held my nav flag high and put it through some more challenging stuff then a previous run. Can't wait for pictures.

We are gonna have to organise a day that we can get the patrols and navs out together.

Off to the autobarn tomoz for a new trailer plug. That's all I broke yay!

Thanks again
Rusty

[Yendor]

Thanks for the great day guys. I had a ball.

Yes the nav went well.

[Bigrig]

Yep, the Nav went pretty well ... goes without saying they're not quite up to the hardcore stuff without serious investment, but it was no slouch!!!

Videos converting now .. I'll edit them later tonight and hopefully post up also ...

[Ben-e-boy]

well I just got home that was a solid 13 hour day for me. Thanks for a fun day... 040ff I cant help but wonder what damage you'll do with a locker hahahaha

[RustyNav09]

Ahahahah should be fun sorting those. Yes my car is not up to the serious articulation stuff like the solid axle gear under the patrol, but it still pulled through and all I have to do its find the right line and remember I have ifs.

The rest of the pics should be fun.

Rusty

The Nav would have made it around mate - we parked in some play areas and went hunting for trouble as it were ... hopefully Adrian has some "hot shots" of the harder sections, but they weren't part of the normal tracks ...

Have to bring both next time!!!!

[hekarewe]

[Woof]

Great photos there mate, looks like it was a fantastic day out...wish I was there with you all

Some interesting shots there - and once again Steve O4OFF going the extra mile to take a good photo!

In looking at those ascending shots there are a few where the front end has one wheel on the ground, but the diff housing appears level - is that capturing the top of a bounce?

Wish I was there, but not the place for Lo-Rider Silver I reckon :-)

Adrian, nice shots and thanks for taking the time to edit crop and post them here - great work!

i try crop the photos at the hight of the bounce or hight of the climb,,,,, i use the action sports setting and just hold the button till the action is finished then see what i have caught sometimes good sometimes sheeeit

[04OFF]

Adrian, they are some of the best action pics ive seen of any trip, outstanding work mate, very proud of ya bud :clapping: give yourself a pat on the back, or a meat pie, or whatever it is you do ? (ha-ha)




serious, great work big fella !

Um what was the snatchy doing on the front of Tank? Did he get stuck? hehehehe

i think tank was lacking in confidence because he didnt have his ducky with him and he missed him ROFLMAO

[Bigrig]

Um what was the snatchy doing on the front of Tank? Did he get stuck? hehehehe

I got it out to recover Steve ... couldn't be bothered putting it away after it wasn't needed, so just looped it around the bar ...

there was nothing really to get stuck on!!

[Bigrig]

Ya need some of these bad boys mate

Are they like some sort of fancy Victorian footwear?? The roman empire would still be dominant and kicking butt to this day if they had access to the sandals in that first photo!!!!

[nickpeacock36]

Thanks for organising the day Steve and what a great day it was, we need to do more day trips like this dont you think? Great pictures Adrian, i've got to get a decent camera myself although the little camcorder got some good footage.

[scotty83]

Fantastic Pics. this is the first time i have had decent photos of my rig..

[Dhuck]

Still waiting to see a vid

Working on it boss!!

Video uploading you YouTube now ... 404Meg, so will take a while ...

[Bigrig]

Here tis ... nothing too flash as it was all from the in car camera (I detached it for some outside footage also) ... enjoy ...

OMG!!!!!!!!!!!! That was fantastic - thanx for posting the vid

[Bigrig]

OMG!!!!!!!!!!!! That was fantastic - thanx for posting the vid

Glad you liked it mate - see, you guys would have made it around no drama!

Check out some of the vids in the Club Events and Trips and Treks sections for Qld to see some of the places we head to (Beerburrum State Forest, Scenic Rim, Landcruiser Mountain Park etc). Great place to live if you're into the outdoors and plenty of four wheel drive opportunity!!!

[2TROLLFAM]

Ummm my ute MIGHT have made it but not with me driving!!! LOL (I need tracks for beginners & sooks)

The Patrol woulda shit it in I reckon ... I have no issue being a passenger

[Bigrig]

Ummm my ute MIGHT have made it but not with me driving!!! LOL (I need tracks for beginners & sooks)

The Patrol woulda shit it in I reckon ... I have no issue being a passenger

Would have done it easy mate - most tracks were straight forward, those on the video we went lookin for and parked the trucks that didn't want to have a lash - nothing 'sooky' about parking and watching mate, good environment to learn in!! We are a no pressure bunch also, so if people don't wish to do something, they're not egged on to do it, not criticised/bagged if they don't!!

Come out next time with both trucks - you'll have a ball.

[Dhuck]

Nice job peeps. Next time I will be there with pigtrol.

[Woof]

and the disaster of the day was my poor thong threw a tread and me my work boots :(

Mate, rule number 107
Always ensure that you are wearing Double Pluggers when out 4WDing to avoid blowouts...hahaha

[Woof]

Hate you lot...LOL, I would give anything to get up there for play with you all.
Brilliant video, thanks heaps for sharing with us all.

[Bigrig]

Hate you lot...LOL, I would give anything to get up there for play with you all.

You'd love it, we'd love it ... everyone would be a winner!!!

[04OFF]

Funnily enough it was actually - most the rigs were parked whilst some had a lash at the more difficult parts, but even then, nothing done was extreme by any standard, and the remainder was pretty cruisy along some nice tight technical style tracks that gave everyone a chance to learn and flex their patrol muscles!!! lol

Its a shutter problem Adrian, and thanks to xmas, i most likley wont see it again for well OVER 6 WEEKS !:(

That means i won't have it over any of my holidays, i almost feel tempted to sell my 30D and buy a new camera earlier than i was going to, then keep the 50D for back-up (when it comes back next year)

I spent the last 3 nights working on the car after the "latest" ^damage (fail), the gaurd was bent quite bad behind the flair, i think i should have been a panel beater sometimes (ha-ha) , anyway, quite a few hours working away, i managed to "beat" the gaurd back into shape (using a rubber mallet, so didnt damage paint)

Once i had the shape back, i got the paintless dent guy to take out the minor lumps and bumps id left (only cost $50) , i heated the flair up and bent it back to shape, fixed the crack in the back of the headlight, straghtened the indicator bracket and ta-daah !.......

OUCH .. lucky you're handy .. I'd be crying if I did that to Frank (yeah yeah woosy Navara he is)

[Silver]

Nice work Steve! Did you have a go at the bar as well? (I read you have ordered a new one)

[04OFF]

OUCH .. lucky you're handy .. I'd be crying if I did that to Frank (yeah yeah woosy Navara he is)

I stopped crying after about the 4th time i developed nasty panel damage (ha-ha), i always like to fix it tho, otherwise the car ends up looking like to much of a pig.


Nice work Steve! Did you have a go at the bar as well? (I read you have ordered a new one)

I recon if i "really" wanted to, i would try and fix the bar Rick (even tho the reo behind is also bent)

Although, i had my eye on a xrox bar (since a guy came into work with one on a patrol), but i just could't justify buying a new bar, when there was nothing wrong with the one i have ..........well guess what !

[Silver]

well, Steve, I think you are making the right call - clearly the current bar isn't doing its job of protecting that lovely white gu snout :-)

[frenzy]

top stuff guys. bugger we missed this one.

nice one mate, definitely looks the goods

[04OFF]

Nice. Where did you get the bar from?

Its a Xrox Bar i purchased from Opposite Lock, this is one they had on display in the shop, otherwise it was a 4 week + wait.

They're not to everyones taste, but look a bit more aggressive than the normal ARB/TJM style winch bars everyone else seem to have, so thought it would be a bit different.

Most important for me, they are also ADR 69 compliant (tested to work with Airbags) they also have points to mount twin recovery hooks, ive fitted twin 4500KG rated hooks. (to be used with a Equalizing strap)



All up with the 2 hooks cost me less than $1100 delivered, so really doubt i could get anyone to make a winch bar for less $$, especially when i need/want something tested to work with my Airbag, and needed it "on" my car before xmas.

[Airstrike]

For sure, well mate looks great on a GU. No clearence issues now.

wow now that looks trick!!!!! i have only one question for you,,, is it air bag compatable?? apart from that it looks great.

[04OFF]

is it air bag compatable??

It certainly is Airbag compatible Adrian, tested and certified to meet ADR 69 compliance.

[Finly Owner]

Nice bar def different and looks capable
