[Irish]

I just stayed last night and cruised home this morning. Was good to have a chinwag, a frothy and put faces to names.
Hope everyone made it through the day with body & rig intact:-)

[mudski]

Looks like I'm the first back an to post. What a good day it was. We had to stop for lunch for a couple of hours to, erm , help me out. My diffs kinda got stuff in a decent rut. I reversed up and went full boar and blew my front right tyre out. So there was digging, more digging, snatching and winching, then the exhaust bag AND hi-lift came out to put my spare on just to get me another 30 meters up the track. Darren is an absolute champ, he helped this newb out and even got the blown out tyre to re-seal on the rim so i could put it back on and keep going. I left about 3pm, the others went off again for another trip. Was a good time.
I'll post some pics up later....

[stevogq]

Awesome mudski sounds like you guys had a ball even with the odd hickup

[mudski]

Yeah was all good. I'm sure you will get to see more on 4wdtv. There was a fair bit of filming. I checked my photos that my dad took. He was taking shots with my camera. Not may good shots tbh, just my truck with its wheel off in the rut.
Stevo, you missed out on a good day. All the guys and gals were fantastic.
I also forgot to thank anyone else who helped in my recovery, Andy and the youngin' with the eyebrow piercing and the others. I am shite with names sorry guys.

[Alitis007]

I got there as MUDSKI and the Zuk were leaving and as i found out just missed the crew going for a spin so i just killed some time driving around bull creek rd. Went to the camp site as they got back said hello n home i came lol 2249622497 the best i would do without a winch and running AT's and on my own lol

[Bloodyaussie]

Well I just got home and am stuffed..... after we got back from the main trek a bunch of us set off in search of something a bit more challenging and we found it!!!!!!

Will tell after some sleep and will post up some pics.

So good to meet some truly excellent people, cheers!!!!!!

[mudski]

Had an absolute blast of a weekend! Kris' chilli lived up to the expectations lol, painful stuff (especially in your eye hey AB?). Was my first time meeting the guys from the forum and I can't wait to do it again. I didn't get any photos unfortunately, but would have loved some of that hill climb we did!

[krbrooking]

Far out man sorry to hear bout the probs man, if I can help with anything just let me know man. Good to see you have seen the light though. Can you not get a car trailer man would that not be a lot cheaper, I hope thing work out for you.

Big big thanks to all that helped out with the cook up and to flech for bringing all the food. Had an awesome weekend everyone as soon as I get a chance I will post the pics I got.

[healy]

I also forgot to thank anyone else who helped in my recovery, Andy and the youngin' with the eyebrow piercing and the others. I am shite with names sorry guys.

Mate all I did was stand and learn. Darren was right on it hey, would love to go in the GQ with him for a day, reckon I'd learn so much.

[mudski]

Here are some pics I have of my great day. Not many as my dad was doing the shooting but here you go.
The zook will be up for sale if you know anyone who might be interested. This thing has a 2inch lift, twin ARB air lockers, ARB winch and bar and UHF. Goes anywhere this thing, but its way too light. If it were only me and him when my tyre blew out and had to be I snatched, I would have done it.
Big thanks again to everyone that helped me out that day, Darren, AB, and the dude with the eye piercing,erm, winnie?, also to the others who all stepped in. Sorry I am crap with names... It was my first time out in nearly fifteen years and when the time came, all the experienced show that day for the guys who helped. I was totally blown away how the blown out tyre was fix and put back on. I would have just put my spare on and kept going. My dad who came along is 72, had never been 4wd'ing nearly shat himself at the Devils Staircase ( I think it was called) just as well it was dry as I would have too. I know it was easy going for everyone else but nothing pays better than experience.
My hat really goes off to AB for holding such a wonderful event, and running this great forum. I really can't wait now for the next meet up.
Now after this weekend I have just added a few more things to my wish list. 35's to be one of them so I don't get my diff's hung up of a bloody rut. I did feel quite embarrassed it happened. But on the final attempt to get out of the rut I was actually getting out with full noise and thats when my tyre slammed the wall and went BANG!

[MudRunnerTD]

Cheers Mudski, mate pm me about the Zook, I might be interested in it depending on the price.

Glad you had a good weekend mate.

[chester]

I just stayed last night and cruised home this morning. Was good to have a chinwag, a frothy and put faces to names.
Hope everyone made it through the day with body & rig intact:-)Was that you i passed on the Melba hwy mate???

[Irish]

Possibly mate, I was in a white Maverick with four spotties on the roof. Hope I gave you a wave at least:-)

Don't worry bout getting embarrassed man it could have been any one of us stuck there man it only takes that split second for the tyre to be in the wrong spot. With out blowing my own trumpet I am only running 31 at,s with 2 inch lift and got through easy, that rock climb was interesting to say the least there was a few times I nearly lost my breakfast. I would have lent a hand as well but by the time I got down there, there was already to many people in and around the tyre.

[healy]

His a bloody handy man to have around

[DSPIES]

hey guys,

Well done on a great trip and to everyone that went into organising the wekend... and the dinner.

Was great to get out and meet a few of you and see a few tracks.

Looking forward to doing a few more trips into the future.

Cleaning the car was an absolute PITA and its impossible to clear the under side but otherwise all good.
