Have a great trip mate. We all want to do it, it be good to hear your post trip report

Hey, those max trax will cop a fair bit of road chip abuse where they are mounted, have you had problems in the past being mounted there?

The wet weather you're leaving behind

[hekarewe]

i have found that the only good thing for max trax's is to leave them on the trailer as stone guards it the only thing they do well one and only time i used them to get unbogged we had to go back with shovels and dig them out so we didnt get done for dumpiong!! LOL

i wiull be doing a running report as we go internet permitting

[hekarewe]
