Did you sort out where to mount it?
Have we got any tracks planned out yet . . . Billy goats bluff in the snow could be fun! I think we should expect a fair bit of snow, was up at Warburton yesterday and Mt Donna had a fair cover and that's only just over 1000M! Can't wait, time to start packing. . .
Passenger floor...lolQuote:

Two ideas...
1) I'm going to build a little box behind the fridge where the oven will mount on so you can get access to it using the back passenger door. The box will also have a flip lid to get access inside.
2) Mount a box around the Waeco (leaving room for ventilation) and mount the oven ontop of box above Waeco so you can get access at the rear and just slide Fridge out to get access to fridge.
It has to be one of those two spots. I need the right hand side clear for my bed on solo trips like this and the power outlets are on that side too.
It's actually a bigger oven than I thought...lol. It would fit 2 medium pizzas for sure!
AB's making pizza's for us on Sat'dy night! Yippee!Quote:

So what is the plan. I am coming from Gisborne and happy to leave here early to meet people somewhere. Where is a comon meeting point? If its someones house can they PM a address and a time.
How capable are everyones car. I will be running 33's this weekend. to much other work needed to get the 35's to fit properly. along with not enough time at home to get them changed over lol.
I have a choice of MT Claws or BF MT's. What would the recommendation be?
I'll be dragging along swag, fridge, food, beer, recovery gear, me myself & I. Chair, small table.
How were we cooking again. Do I need to sort something out for that?
You are welcome to travel with Mudski and myself... I think we are now talking about leaving here about 7am????Quote:

I think from Gisborne mate you would be better off meeting BloodyAussie and Mark (Mudski).
Are you blokes still meeting at my place on the Friday morning or not?
I'm happy to meet up and travel with you and Rossco....I'll be leaving my joint about 7am (everything going according to plan). I'll PM you my mobile.Quote:

Yeah the Freeway is quicker but going through Powelltown is an awesome drive. Not 4wding but just a nice romantic drive in the country side...lol
2 to 2.5 hour trip

Sorry guys I never posted it here but have been talking in secret with Kris and Kev.... we are meeting in Moe at 9am. Closer for you guys! We will be meeting at the BP on Narracan Drive.
Andy when heading your way I always go through Gembrook to Healesville etc... seems to be the quickest way and is a nice drive!
You know you want to....lol

What do you think mate? Or wanna do. If we go the freeway, hopefully I have time to get everything done and drop the trailer back up at Andy's tomorrow sometime. Or if we go his way I will be at your place by 6:30 then and I will take the trailer...Quote:
