Newby to 4x4'ing

[maltalian0]

Hi There,

Nate, From Melbourne. Just starting off in the 4x4 world. Recently bought a GU patrol 2002.

About to do some servicing.
And get ready to head out tomorrow at Wombat state forest.

Any tips, recommendations on what tracks to do for a beginner?

Thanks in advanced?

Cheers,71293

Nice unit , good tyres looks like it's had a lift , bit of fruit , take it easy for a while till you get the hang of where you can and where you can't go , tyre pressures are important , let em down on the brown put em back on the black .
And welcome to the forum .

Thanks Guys.

It's a 4.8 Petrol. Did the first service on it today. Friggon oil filter was a bugger to get off. Doesn't help I don't have the tool to remove.
Trust old screw driver did the trick.

Probably a bit late, but watch out for the holes, some are known as car swollowers. Speaking from experience..

Thanks for the heads up. I lost my Kawasaki to one of those swollowers.

Also it may be a bit late but pop rivet your front number plate on.
I reckon one bog hole on burnt mill rd is lined with number plates,,,lol
Bit of rain around to keep the dust down too.

I had a few Tex screws laying around and now their holding my plate in.
