reservoir track is a good one, be wary of the big slippery hill, east falls rd I think off main mountain.
Even if you find Red Hill follow that through great spot for snakes ,in the gully
All good tracks only ever seen one guy drive Steep track in the wet its off reservoir and steep

Jenkins is quite good medium on a dry day with one steep, rutted and tricky hill climb on it that is pretty tough when it's wet....you will be winching or snatching, especially if wet and on AT's.
The Teehans tracks aren't bad.
Phone Track and Steep track are definitely on the hard end of the spectrum.
Just drive around.....you'll find plenty.

Went to Talla, entered from Davis side, did heaps of tracks. Had a great day, i'm suprised how well we went with AT's, probably lucky it wasn't too muddy. No recoveries on the day.

I am so proud of the Patrol, setup works great. If i find a decent set of 33 MT's to bolt on when i go 4x4'n or shooting i will be pretty happy.

I've posted a couple of video's (public) if anyone cares to see, I tried the same path as the cruiser (left side of hill) but the AT's just couldnt give me enough traction. Still managed to get up though!

I'll put another couple of vid's and pictures up soon.

Thank you all for the advice!

Nothing there Santos

Is that working now?

[threedogs]

Yeah working you did well for the tyres you had

[santoitaliano]

You really loose how steep the hill is in the video, i'll post one later of the car coming down.. gives a much better idea. Just keeping my eyes open for a decent set of 33" muddies..

I know the track well... you would hate to watch how easy I get up that bugger!!!!

Do you know what tracks you ended up doing?? not a bad place hey mate... if you are for for fun in January I will show you around..

[santoitaliano]

Yeah, jan sounds good after the first week.. I really think i'll be happy after a set of 33's with MT's... and a bit more practice/experience..

I know we did about 5 different jenkins tracks, i think cable track was in there too, horan's.. i think phone and teehan's... a mate was in the lead with GPS... I can't really remember to be honest.

I think you never aired your tyres down, I'll go out with you next year and show you some tips and safe recovery practices.
Do you have a compressor ? if not at least air down to 30psi that way you can still drive to a servo to air up.
You'll find by airing down you can tackle hills at a slower pace, all that bouncing around will break something down the track.
Pop rivet your front number plate one or you'll lose it doing a bog hole. Always clean your headlights ,lens and number plates after you go 4x4ing
or you'll find the boys in Blue will ping you
