Who on the weekend did the same with 265's?
if any

Absolutely. Been a few times I have not been able to get up some steps or through ruts with my 33s when I have just watched someone on 35s go through before and after me with no worries.

I'm doing far less damage to both vehicle and tracks with 35" tyres.

Yes I would absolutely agree with that.

Me too.. I did western tk in Bunyip earlier this year, for those of you that know it it can be difficult at times. I crawled up at 13psi in my 35's, didn't spin the wheels once.
Mate on 33's had to hit it with a lot of speed, foot to the floor on his 33's, and didn't even make it halfway. More damage to truck and track.

Yeah 35s give that slightly larger foot print which makes a massive difference on rocky sections.

OK finally got some time. Here's some of my pics

Thanks Clunk.

Video is now fixed.

Just received an email back from Simon about 35s being engineered.
He basically said its a big no no especially in the High country,
and if you want to run engineered 35s on your patrol to do plenty of research.
Simon never had engineered 35s on any of his Patrols

Thanks John. But I'd love to know what plenty of research is needed to be done though. I found a list of all the VASS approved engineers. I might have to do the ring around....

No idea what Simon mean't but see what they say could be as
much as $800 which seems to be the going price for most engineered mods.
they may just make it too difficult to worry about doing

you can get lift and 35's engineered, big $$$ as you need to book a racetrack and have a driver do a swerve test to ensure the vehicle is stable through a set course of orange cones, i am looking at getting mine done when ewan gets his portal patrol done to share the cost.

Well if it $800, which I reckon it will be more, it would be worth my while.

Yeah i know slack!! Getting there fell asleep on the bloody couch last night. . .

Going to cost a lot if you need to book a track and driver for the test, you'll still be pi##ed off being stopped
but at least you can wave the papers under their noses.

4" and 35s would be safe on a swerve test imo
decent swaybars and shocks

Short walk up to New Good Hope Mine. Pretty impressive boiler and battery in very good nick. There was a fair mullock heap but you could see where the tunnel had collapsed unfortunately.

Is there still a shaft there you can get down? Yeah we saw the seepage and a heap of blackberries around the mullock heap.

Wouldn't mind checking out Good Hope mine up the hill a bit further. . . Another day. . .

Haha [emoji744] yeah me & ol Porkbong are mad on the wood gathering - never let it be said that the Heyfield boys don't bring enough firewood or night time entertainment [emoji106]🏼
& Rossco settle down on the IT thing [emoji15]
