Fun in the sand

[d.n.blewitt]

Hey all,

Been reading threads form this site for a while now so finally decided to join.

Almost all my off-road travels are either getting to remote beach's down dirt paths or along sand. After years of driving Zuks I decided I needed something larger.

Currently running a 2007 ST C/C with 33" MT ATZ's, which I've only had for about 9 months now and couldn't be happier. Love the room in the tray and being able to roll out the swag on the back tray. Will be getting a canvas canopy after xmas and possibly a suspension lift, though haven't had any issues with the current clearances.

Fav three pieces of recovery gear would be in the following order:
1. Shovel (don't leave home without it)
2. Max trax
3. Exhaust jack

Counting down the days until work finishes for the year and I can have a few weeks of hitting the beaten path.

I got a good mate who lives in manjimup n been trying to get me to head down there for a w/e fishing trip. I'm from Albany originally so normally when I drive south I head back there to catch up with the old man n hit the remote places I grew up.
