Toolangi overnighter 17 & 18 May.

[AB]

That was me! Just joined up to say g'day and glad I was in a position to help.

If I hadn't seen you get stuck in the washout chances are I would have ended up in it, so I figure we're even.

Haha classic, welcome to the forum mate. Hope you stick around so we can convert you to the dark side!

Big thanks for helping me out mate. Bloody slippery wash outs on that track!

[Bloodyaussie]

Anyway enough about Yota's..... Hey Pickers it is not that you did it in 2wd over a gq it is testament to the nissan LSD.... and that would explain why you could not get going under your own steam.

It would not have mattered much even if we had figured what had happened by that stage...

Andy sort out some front recovery ya bone head..

[Family4x4]

Damage report broken right auto locking hub .
replaced oil in rear diff all looks good , thinking the locker had not released properly
cannot get it to make the bang sound again it only happened when going around left hand corner. It did it once for the mechanic yesterday but hasn't done it
So I will keep a eye on it and get nissan to check it out next service .
Pretty happy with that out come

That's a relief.

Thats what I said Benny...I don't get stuck, I just go back and do it again...But better....lol

[Ben-e-boy]

Thats what I said Benny...I don't get stuck, I just go back and do it again...But better....lol

Thats the spirit.

[AB]

Thats the spirit. I have a flashy high mount that has only moved trees.

I have some great news too!!!

My hoarding brother has two Warn high mounts and I convinced him to give me one.

Needs a full rebuild which my good friend Mr MudRunnerTD is going to help me....lol

He wanted to put one on the front and the other on the rear of his GU so he could drag trees up his property. I tried for months begging him that it is a huge waste of a high mount and after sever persistence he gave in....YAY!!!

[AB]

What a coincidence...mine was free too!!

Free free free..you just can't put a price on that.

Do you have a free high mount Johnathon?

[Bloodyaussie]

Hey, I was at the top of aeroplane track on Saturday with a few mates. Myself in my GU & another mate in a GQ & another mate in his, 80 series.
We come across a couple of you guys at the top. Me & my mate in his GQ decided not to tackle Aeroplane coz it was pretty shagged out & we both had young kids in the car. But my mate in the white 80series went down with his misses. Typical Toyota owner likes to brag about recovering the 2nd Patrol that went down & got stuck. I also noticed the Redback dirty gear bag, same as mine that I purchased off AB as the second vehicle went back down Aeroplane. That's when I realised it was you guys.
Who did he recover?
I can't believe how much Aeroplane track has gone to crap over the last couple of months

Oh and double post

[knakkers]

I was talking to AB at the top, we've never met personally, but emailed each other several times when his first batch of Redback dirty gear bags were up for grabs. Since I put my bag on, it's never come off the vehicle, it's travelled to the Cape & all around Oz with me. Still holds up as strong as it was when I 1st purchased it. Top quality manufacturing.
Shit hey, small world.

So most importantly, when are we going back for another run? Sunday the 1st of June perhaps?

Hey rossco, do you have that pic of me doing the water crossing in october?

[AB]

Rookie mistake by me

Shouldn't be lazy and should of aired down.

Should've gunned it through that off camber bit and might not of slid back into that hole.

Nearly a year ago. We should do a repeat performance and hit the same tracks

[krbrooking]

I second that Lucas and I say we get to go up airplane first.

The track I will never forget...

[Rossco]

Yeah good track that one. Soo loose and big steps! ! , it was fun as. . . Yeah aeroplane is a good one, missed out last time cos the queue was so big! !

[DSPIES]

What about either next Sunday (17th) or saturday the 30th May?

[lucus30]

Hmm I'd be keen I think 30th I might be free but would have to double check. Would any one else be interested in either a day trip to toolangi or an overnighter?

[lucus30]

I've just been given the official nod for the weekend of the 30th and 31st. So anybody else interested ?

[AB]

My weekends have to be spontaneously decided upon but tentatively like ;)

[Bacho86]

Will have to give this one a miss unfortunately given I'm away this weekend as well!

[krbrooking]

I will be watching this one.

[cgm]

I've just been given the official nod for the weekend of the 30th and 31st. So anybody else interested ?

I think I'm ok and keen to go. Will also double check tomorrow. I would be keen to camp Saturday night if I am free that weekend. It would take me quite a while to get over there, so I'd have to start very early on Saturday if I was to meet you guys at any reasonable time. Would be a bit far for just a day trip for me I reckon.

Bacho86's high country trip also sounds really good, but unfortunately I do already have something for that weekend.

[lucus30]

Seems there is enough interest to warrant it, not sure if it will be an over nighter at this stage though

[Rossco]

Don't think I've got anything booked in this weekend, I'll keep an eye on this and see how it goes . . . Could be a goer. . .

[jay see]

Nice work for bring it up Lucus. I should be good for either day/overnighter as that's my weekend off. Will need to arrange something about kids footy, but shouldn't be a problem.

[lucus30]

Ok what is people's preference single day trip on the 30th? or Over nighter 30th and 31st?
I know CGM's preference is to stay any one elses thoughts?

[DSPIES]

day trip, but i'd certainly try and make both days if i can.

[jay see]

If people are happy to do overnight that gives the ones that are traveling a better chance of attending and those that can't stay on to at least make it for the day.
Happy to do either.

My 2 cents anyway.

[cgm]

I checked and I don't have any other commitments that anyone is aware of. I'll join a day trip if that's all people want. Keen to get out and never been up there so happy to tag along.

[lucus30]

OK lock it in for a day trip to toolangi on the 30th then. I'll keep an eye on the weather if it isn't going to be pooring we can look at staying the night

Attending

Thinking about meeting in the same spot as last year ( corner Melba hwy and healesville-kinglake rd) about 11am to give time to those that have to travel

I'll start a new thread tomorrow, can't be bothered doing it on the phone

[cgm]

Ok thx , that's a comfortable time. Since you've taken the lead Lucus, might be good to start a new thread with the heading with right dates and all.

[lucus30]

Bet you to it mate read my edit

[DSPIES]

that is certainly a comfortable time... if it is only a day trip, dare i say that is a late start by the time folks air down and have a yarn??

Perhaps we should at least say aired down and ready to hit the tracks by 11? If there are a few folks coming and its wet up there it may be a slow moving day.
just something to think about.

Happy to change it to say 10am just not sure CGM will be able to make it by that time???
I'm just creating a thread now. We can discuss changing the time in that. I'll set it to 10am
