I mostly handle any Vic High Country stuff the boys in the office have ideas for. But having said that, They want me to come up so they can show me around their stomping ground for once instead (blue mountains) seeing as they always come down to vic i probably should head up there soon i think! Ive been here and there but no real 4by trips. whats your recommendations? when i do head up ill hit up the forum and see who wants to come haha they're usually about 5 days during the week. but when im cruising around vic i easily get an article out of a weekend or a day trip which is handy
i have to say im a tad jealous of the allowed to drive on beaches thing haha
There is a forum trip organised for the Australia day long weekend into the blue mountains mate, get on it!
ive got a barby organised already at my joint, we do the brick pile challenge which is a massive pile of bricks and tile and basically its a 'testing' playground, loads of fun too, its pretty big and theres heaps of angles, ive had to snatch a few blokes off the top before haha if i didnt have that organised id come!
Assuming I'm like most other girls is your first mistake...

so heres a pic of the shortbus and the big poo, some of you might even recognise the 40 from the 4wd action mags haha, i swapped the engines over about a year ago its now running a 13bt, as opposed to the old 3b, its basically the same engine but direct injection and factory turbo, its goes pretty good haha. for anyone thats interested in the old 40s (i know, probably a sin talking about toyotas on here, but shh) the eventual plan is soft top, roll cage and 80 series chassis- one day haha *dreamylookinmyeyes*
ill start a members ride thread for the pooey soon but until then have a geez here Its the ultimate touring bus now, and you would have seen this rig in unsealed 4x4 mags, its got all the usual fun stuff winch, the might 4.2, turbo by dynamic turbos, 33s 2"lift fridge on a slide, awning (just put it on so its not in the pics) light bar, arb compressor and arb dual batterys and some other fun bits. just put racing gauges in it purely for the handy little warning beep they make at pre-set temps and im currently on here looking for info about doing the front shocks (this arvos job)
