Sydney Australia Day meetup day trip

I must apologise everyone. I have to bow out of this trip, for now. My patrol has blocked radiator core which will need replacing as well as the turbo has packed it in and is not boosting. (Had to cancel my Stockton beach trip with the kids two days before we left...)

I wont have the patrol back on the road before Australia Day as I will be in London for two weeks and I leave this Saturday.

If someone else wants to become the trip leader, please go and have some fun. Don't let me stop a get together.

BrendanB: If you go on a trip with a group of people, chances are they will have everything that the group needs in the way of recovery gear and you will learn a heap just by talking to everyone.

As for the basics, that depends a lot on the 4WD you have and the type of 4Wding you want to do. I started with a winch (already on the Patrol when I bought it) a simple recovery kit (Snatch strap, D Shackles, winch extension, tree trunk protector. I have been adding to my kit ever since. Such as a UHF radio, Decent spotties, Snatch Block, Winch cable dampener, long handled shovel.

The list is almost endless.

Definitely carry a first aid kit, extra water, extra fuel and some basic spares like hoses and clamps.

Just keep adding to your collection of gear and soon you to will have a shed full of stuff like some of the boys on here..... LOL!!

Cheers,
