glasshouse trip.

[Ben-e-boy]

Gday.

I went for a wheel today at the glass house. It has changed heaps since the last time I was there. The rutted climb we did first was no challenge last time, this time the ruts were deeper the angles were more intence and there was one section I could not climb out of, I kept bottoming out on the chassis I had to take the chicken track around so I failed that hill.

The second climb is all rock ruts and step. Turning around at the bottom of the hill I shattered the passenger side CV. That ended my day. the problem with that was bearing cage in the cv shettered in to pieces no bigger than a 20c coin it jammed up and I couldnt tur right at all. I limped to a flat area at the top of a hill. Everytime I had to turn right I would drive off the track revearse full left and repeat if needed until I was in the right direction, lucky I had a stocked tool bag and a trolley jack I just pulled all broken bits out, put it all together then drove the rest of the day as a positive 3 wheel drive on the chicken tracks.
Here is a vid of a little creek run. Nothing difficult, it's just an nice place to be.

Amazing how flat that looks on camera...lol

It's a pretty decent hill that one, camera dies not do justice.

Was thinking the same thing. The beginning of little red looks a little gentler

Where old mate stalled is definatly worn down, last time I took that line I diffed out, the bottom bit is worse, that ledge you got stuck on last time is definatly bigger, you have to bounce up it
The ledge at the top is bigger 2.

Big red is worse too. I would have had a crack if didnt bust the CV
