If I do manage to come up (ie:p permission from da Guvna), will my standard vehicle tackle the terrain. Or will I have to park again and jump in with someone.
Cos I would like to do it all in my own car.
Or am I just better off waiting to do things when I'm set up. Lift, tyres, winch, at the least.
And a off road map device cos you never give directions just GPS co-ords.

Mego,
One of my regular driving mates was doing trips around the high country for years in a bog standard early 120 Prado (no traction control either) until he had the dosh to begin modding it.......we used to call him tripod but it did everything he asked of it.
I was his regular navi and we needed some discretion with track choice but it certainly changed my view of the capabilities of a Prado (wash my mouth out I know)......
With the right track choices, your GU will do more than that Prado for sure......

[Bloodyaussie]

I am back to work tomorrow and I have not got a plan in place at all, I have my main jobs lined up but that is it.... all I can think about is this trip and all my brain power is spent planning things in my head!!!!

Got my baby back yesterday from the exhaust place and only drove one km then spent the day out with my daughter for her birthday so dont really know what she is running like???

Did not need to CAT either so more straight through than I was expecting.

I will bring my trailer but am not sure if I will bring bins yet??

Is it the 24th yet??

[healy]

From one 3L to the next hey

[threedogs]

Busting my balls to get there, well more back, Mego you can drive mine if you want to park yours, But between you and me the Nissan Patrol would have to
be one the best 4x4,s straight off the showroom floor. one of the last of the live axle jobs, trust me would I lie to you.

Everyone should know convoy procedure, only worry about the guy behind you, eg aat an intersection wait till 4x4 behind you sees you flashes lights or indicates and take off, the 4x4 in front of you should be waiting as well for you if there is a turn etc, easy when you know how, plus most have UHF as well

[Winnie]

You should do alright mego but maybe a couple of sections on the harder tracks that you'd need to be smart about? What size tyres do you have?

[threedogs]

Only std and not very aggressive from memory,

[Winnie]

Unless it rains a heap between now and then he will be fine... I will be running my 265/75 ATs

Your car will do most the tracks up there m8, only issue u may have is if it rains, but if u got a decent set of at's u will b fine

Far out mate! hope its just the radiator.......:furious:

[AB]

Any warranty, you only just got it, if private must have patched for sale, interested now,what a bummer
fingers crossed for you buddy

X2 mate, same thing happened to timbo with his 2.8 from dealer after heavy conversations dealer fixed it. If private sale I'd be paying a visit mate if it's cooked. I hope its not bad and not a temp fix bud!!!!!!!

[AB]

Damn healy damn it!!!!!! I'm angry myself mate, god knows how you feel bud. Fingers crossed!!!!!!

[healy]

It was a private sale it drives beautiful just dosnt like to hold the water

[MudRunnerTD]

That is a Dogs act. If its knackered fix it or trade it but don't sell it to a bloke trying to take his family on holidays.

He is a Dog

[Sir Roofy]

i am back to work tomorrow and i have not got a plan in place at all, i have my main jobs lined up but that is it.... All i can think about is this trip and all my brain power is spent planning things in my head!!!!

Got my baby back yesterday from the exhaust place and only drove one km then spent the day out with my daughter for her birthday so dont really know what she is running like???

Did not need to cat either so more straight through than i was expecting.

I will bring my trailer but am not sure if i will bring bins yet??

Is it the 24th yet??

a trailer would be handy for fire wood its barer than a slab of butter up there

[Sir Roofy]

it was a private sale it drives beautiful just dosnt like to hold the water

feel for ya mate maybe we need a convoy to visit

[Drewboyaus]

Water pump maybe?
Mine crapped itself and was pissing water a couple of days after I picked mine up......
My mate who is a Patrol whisperer reckons its a common thing with GQ's of a certain age if its the original one.
Cost me a couple of hundred to fix.
Dunno if its the same for GU's

Busting my balls to get there, well more back, Mego you can drive mine if you want to park yours, But between you and me the Nissan Patrol would have to
be one the best 4x4,s straight off the showroom floor. one of the last of the live axle jobs, trust me would I lie to you.

Everyone should know convoy procedure, only worry about the guy behind you, eg aat an intersection wait till 4x4 behind you sees you flashes lights or indicates and take off, the 4x4 in front of you should be waiting as well for you if there is a turn etc, easy when you know how, plus most have UHF as well

If I do manage to come up will be up on Thursday back Saturday morning as its the anniversary of my fathers death on Australia Day and the family gets together in memory.

[Sir Roofy]

Just a couple of pics of where you,l end up


24425

where about 10 vehicles mostly
patrols in this group


24426

its dry dusty but tidy need to bring in fire wood
on the way in

my guess is it going to be packed

[healy]

I'm out on this as my head needs to be removed

[MudRunnerTD]

Damn it Healy, Really sorry to hear that bud. Have you had a Quote for that? did you pay top dollar for the GU? Have you called teh bloke and called him a Dog yet? He certainly deserves a Call at a minimum... He probably wont give a crap but it will make you feel better.

I'd be inclined to stop the Cheque mate! You can and Should.

[healy]

Looking around the 2g to do the head etc plus radiator yeah we spoke to him denies it but have found out that he is sort of mates with a family member he will get his own one day cost 10 for the car and I think I have seen the worst aftermarket wire set up in my life stripped all of it out back to a stock gu now it's just down to patients and money now

[AB]

Sorry to hear that mate!!!!!!!

[Winnie]

Absolute bummer Anthony! So peeved off for you, we will have a few beers for ya

[Timbo]

Best of luck Healy! I know what it's like. Cost me 5k to rebuild my 2.8ltr after the dealer kicked in the other 2.5k (7.5k rebuild total). He only complied when I threatened to drive it through his shop window at Car C!ty. Head had no less than 17 cracks in it the mechanic told me.

[Bloodyaussie]

As per message I sent today that I cant repeat in polite company but the short of it is I am pissed and so sorry for you, I wish I could click my fingers and fix this!!!

I'll have to check the map? Was thinking he could head over Hotham a d not be that far?? That is rediculous! What are you talking about MR! That's bloody miles!

[MudRunnerTD]

Ok just looked at the map and that bloke MR is an Idiot!!

[Winnie]

haha bloody MR hope that spammer doesn't show up....
I'm still in two minds about bringing my dog?? He will have so much fun but will just poop everywhere and be a typical overexcited kelpie pup plus he doesn't have all vaccinations yet?? My brother can look after him at home so he won't be ignored while I'm away

[AB]

I got some bad news folks... :(

My misses is heading up the Murray and my mongrel dogs have no where to go. I'm going to have to take them with me. I have the most hyperactive craziest jack Russel you have ever met and a severely paranoid Staffy. Not violent in anyway just mad and annoying!!!!

I can't afford to throw two dogs in kennels for 5 days as that is just ridiculous cost of money!!!!!

[healy]

Andy if ya need mate you can drop them off here they will be looked after and the yard is secure

[AB]

Andy if ya need mate you can drop them off here they will be looked after and the yard is secure

Thanks for the offer mate but I'll find it hard to get there and back with work and my daughter, air con service etc. well be right... The boys can experience the wrath of jack!!!!....lol. I'll just have to bring the tennis ball chucker and spend an hour each arvo tiring him out otherwise he'll go rabbit hunting and yap at everyone to throw sticks.

[Winnie]

Maybe I should bring my jack Russell and we can have a NissanPatrol.com.au jack Russell meet up! Lmao

[AB]

Why not ba is bringing his...lol

This is going to be fun...bahaha

[Bloodyaussie]

All good Andy.... I love your bent dogs and once Georgie gets over the first meet up and stops acting like a spaz it will all be good!!!!!

It is what it is..!!!! Plus I might bring the .410 shotgun and if any of the dogs drive me too mad????

[Bloodyaussie]

blah blah blah blah... last post got doubled up for some reason this is my edit!!!!

[healy]

Oh sorry guys you can still have the meet up but fun is off the cards as ill be at home crying or I could go to budget and hire a cruiser or hilux then we could really have some fun

[Winnie]

Hahahah I wouldn't bring my jack Russell... She's 10 years old and stubborn as hell... She'll just wander off
If there are gonna be so many dogs maybe I will bring my pup? Decisions decisions...

[Bloodyaussie]

[Bloodyaussie]

Oh bugger I was hoping for Belgium waffles... err I mean Shepherd!!!!! make my dogs look silly standing next to them!!

[Timbo]

So is this creek a fast flowing one or a still creek? Swimmable? Easily fishable?

[Bob]

Roofy states not that much Water Not good for Fishing.
I would imagine that after Holiday season there would not be many Fish left

I will be going Fishing in the Thomson which is not that far away i believe

[AB]

Far out AB how do you keep up with him , you need a keen learner like croozer,
just showing him how to use the bench drill.

Bob taking the hair dryer for it
Man has to have a dog

[mudski]

I just though aof a cool idea. AB. You need to make some NissanPatrol.com.au vests for dogs. Then I can get one for my wife....Er no i didn't say that, it was the booze talking and she's not home, so...But it would be kinda cool to see a line up of all the members dogs with matching vests...Plus I'm not coming to this event. I kinda had stuck in my head to take the banshee's to see Craig's hut as they keep hounding me to see it. So whether pending I will be going there....Have fun anyway guys and take lots of pics.

[Bloodyaussie]

You are farked and I am telling her when I see her....

[mudski]

Mate she barks as good as she bites. or is it the other way around...

[AB]

Just like the Sydney mardigra being asked to get np speedos.....not happening...lmao

[Bloodyaussie]

Hy guys I'm buying an Engel on Friday, 40L job. I don't have dual batteries and am just going to run it through the ciggie plug for now (mines wired for constant power)
Realistically how long should I expect to be able to run it for without having to worry about starting? 3 hours or 3 days type of thing? Really have no clue????

well winnie it boils down to how often you open it
other wise a couple of days,put it on the power before you come away
get it cold a couple of days before hand

[Bloodyaussie]

I have a battery you can use for the trip mate... I will charge it up just remind me to bring it big fella!!!!!!

[Winnie]

Yeah I was gonna do this, I reckon we'll prob go for a drive each day and charge it so should be alright? I will test it on the weekend and see how long it lasts.

[Winnie]

dont for get to load it up with cold beer

[Bloodyaussie]

I even have 2 spare battery isolators... you can have one if you want mate...???

If you drive the 500 miles to my house this weekend you could have it all fitted up and ready for the trip...ha ha!!!!!

[Winnie]

Don't think it would be worth hardwiring if I've only got a single battery?? There's no way I'd easily get a second battery under my bonnet, thinking more ahead for the next car

[Winnie]

dont for get to load it up with cold beer

No beer for me just tea and biscuits........

[Bloodyaussie]

Bullshit mate.... run the second in the back mate... very easy and done in no time... I bought my wire in bulk and that is the biggest outlay.

You can use this battery for a while and I can get you a $250-$280 battery for about $130 when you have the spare cash..

Easy to rip out when you sell the car.

Say the word mate and we could do it in an hour at the camp site.

[Sir Roofy]

yeah right forgot about the green plate
