Extreme 4X4 day trip to Wesburn 30/1/16

[Bacho86]

Just watched all the videos on the ipad via chrome and worked fine, must've just been a Tapatalk issue.

[BigRAWesty]

Yep they are viemo so tappa can't link it..
Clicked icon here, then the video as normal on the viemo site..
Awesome..
Simply awesome..
Those boulders are insane..
But traction looks good..

Was a good day. Lovely weather and bloody fun tracks and minimal damage. Have a heap of pics will get them up a bit later, need to do a bit of storing. Would have been great to drive but will definatly revist sometime. Was good being a navi although only had to run the winch out once for AB. Daz had a bit more of a work out with Winnie due to 33s but happy days ☺

[Winnie]

Yeah 35s make such a massive difference. I skull dragged up an entire hill and diff plowed the whole way up, AB drove straight up it.

[MudRunnerTD]

This is the vid of the First rock. You get some perspective here on how big the Rock was and what the chances were of getting past without taking out the side of the car. The clay base was wet. It was going to end in tears for sure.

A little tip for all.. when looking at this sorta think steer the front into the wall a bit.. the fronts will try and climb a bit and bring the diff up a bit, thus less scraping..

But epic tracks..

Yes nice in theory Kallen. There were a couple of ways to get it done.

1. Take the chicken track running beside this track

2. Get the shovel out and cut the rut to allow the wheels to climb out and then drive on top of the ruts to the drivers side.

Neither of these options really drove the track though.

3. With a shovel cut along the side of the rut and place the dirt in the rut making it shallower and drive.

4. Skull drag.

Option 4 was the simplest way to get it don't.

In Clay ruts that are moist steering into the side is pointless unless you have big biters, even then wet clay can make a Simex ET look like an AT pretty smartly.

Using the side grip can work well in the Bic High Country where there is little clay but plenty of shale and Rock.

You can see on the vid that Winnie has got all 4 wheels spinning with Zero advantage. He was a passenger.

Yeah first major use for self recovery. Very very very pleased with it!

I wanna say a thank you to Rossco and Mark for running around all day taking videos and photos, and a massive massive thank you to Darren who came a long way to navi for me. Couldn't have hoped for a better navi and he got a serious work out running my winch!

[Rossco]

Here's my photos for the day,

64648

Ellis track is pretty much straight off the bitumen. Lock the hubs, air down and straight into the pebbles. . . . I mean boulders!!

64649

64650

First obstacle. Decided to by bypass this one. No point risking major panel damage for the sake of it. Was still pretty technical to get around but was pretty much the only chicken track we took. Most of the chicken tracks are still pretty knarly, you'd be seriously pushing your luck trying to get up this track in something not well set up without doing some damage that's for sure, or getting seriously stuck.

Unfortunately for some there wasn't much damage for the day. Bent rim and a few scrapes on the bar work. This track has the potential for damage and we saw plenty of evidence of it. Rear bar, rock sliders and front bar are pretty much mandatory to avoid any nasty panel damage.

64696

64697

Again photos don't do it justice, but this was a pretty technical section with some pretty big boulders. Winnie drove well and punched it up out of the clay embankment. I was too slow running behind but would have made a good photo with the front of the car airborne.

I have to say that although I was disappointed that the 4by wasn't ready and I didn't get to drive- it looked like heaps of fun, had an absolute great day, thanks to everyone, very happy running around getting photos and on the end of the winch on occasions - was great fun and a ripper day.


Looks great guys... Glad you had fun...

I bent a rim slightly and dinted one of my rock sliders (that's what they're there for) so we got off pretty bloody lightly!

Can get them rolled back out again. Especially as it looks to be only the lip. Or just smash it back with a round bit of something and a BFH

Have done Ellis twice in two consecutive weeks, but only as a jockey. First trip was dry so you know what thats like. Second week was wet and probably took 6 hours with 6 cars. Lots of mayhem! Would be a good tick off list though Plassy ;)

G'day Dave, its been a pretty wet shiiiity old winter over here mate, this track reopen may extend over a bit beyond cup weekend. Still keen as, my projects currently in pieces though, lockers are in, sus & shocks ready, winch needs rebuild, new sliders can't afford yet but thank you for the reminder, you've inspired me to pull out a digit and work overtime to join you all.
Worst case, I'll Navi again for AB once his beast is back firing too ;-) !

[DaveGQ]

Hopefully there will be some residual mud by the time they open it....

Always plenty to do on the rig, I'm debating whether to do the quarter chop and rear bar. Wouldn't mind having a crack at making the bar, but I'm not too confident doing the Qtr chop myself. Will do a search on the forum, I'm sure there is a DIY thread.

[Winnie]

I very much recommend the rear quarter chop before you do this track and if you don't have rocksliders, you will destroy your sills on this track.

G'day Dave,
AB knows a top bloke for that in 'Lilydale' I believe. Really did come up a treat, final folded edges near spot on too. By memory the price wasn't worth bothering with DIY, leave it to the pro's and do some OT ourselves to make up the $$ difference.
Rossco is worth a quiz on rear bars when he returns.
Or trade in and buy a ute, problem near solved :-)

[DaveGQ]

I might get in touch with him when I get back.

Did a similar track on the weekend, lots of big rocky sections with massive boulders in the middle. Was sitting on the rock sliders a few times. End up putting a small dent in the rear qtr, just above the tail light, (not too bad, should be able to suck it back out).

But the worst part was, the guy that was on the camera was more focused on filming the bug splatter on my windscreen and bonnet rather than filming the whole track from a distance.... so all I got was this shitty video on my car rocking back and forth on the screen.... no photos :(

[Rossco]

Yeah i recon definatly 5 car limit for these tracks. There's a few in the gentle annie area which is not far but these are SC too. The only tough ones close & open in winter are rocky & reds east but with well set up car would only take a couple of hrs. Yes mt sunday not a bad track i guess . . .

That is correct, i am also assuming that barkely river jeep track will be open if you are looking mout sunday road. As for rocky and red east (walking track) they are my favourites up there with ellis and alcorns track at cobaws, i have done them all many times in my triton in the wet and in the dry, in the dry always crawled straight up both without stopping takes about 5 to 10 mins, in the wet different story.

I'm thinking of heading up this coming long weekend 11/12 March for a bit of a look, if anyone is keen to join?

Don't necessarily have to do Ellis or Cummins tracks... I'm happy to explore the surrounding area.

In saying that, if anyone is really keen on doing those two track then I'll leave the kids at home.

My life's a bit chaotic at the moment unfortunately mate, full time daddy doesn't leave much room for play but keen.

Give us a bump closer to the date but I'm a big question mark on going with what's happening at my neck of the woods lately.

No worries AB totally understandable. I'll let you know once I confirm date/time.

Dave mate! You should come along to AB's donk party shindig over April ANZAC weekend! Will be a great meet & greet G'day for all. Some of the crew will be doing Rocky Track on the Monday just up the highway. It's no Ellis but should raise the adrenaline a whisker :-) !

[DaveGQ]

Sounds good. Just checked my roster and I'm off that that week, so looks like I'll be joining in. Is there a thread where I can keep an eye for updates?

[MB]

Sounds like a plan Dave! I'm not sure how to send a thread link off the iphone but the title you can search for is:
ABs Donk Party ANZAC Day Weekend...
Great to see you there for a brew or two !!

[AB]

Bump...

We should head back here again gents!!!

LOL, no not my mates, i tagged one of my mates in it to see if he could give them a hand but he is out and home in Geelong already. Was a tough day / night for his crew.

Just read my mate blew a RHF Cal CV, and Brand New Winch motor and a Rear Diff. Solid effort.

Would've been a day of power/momentum and damage, any footage mate?
