I'm thinking if we go Powerlines, we can go to the camp spot first, set up then go for a wheel or maybe do the same if we go to Julimar........ might have to try and get some trip filesQuote:

depends on what you want to do, there are harder bits and easier bits to do at the powerlines, there are also tracks around the hard bits so you dont have to possibly bend something if it goes awry. also if it rains there are bogholes that you can do or not and if you do then def muddies will be needed, for me now i know where i will go and wont go so its easy for me, where we camp is a pretty good spot and if its been raining there is a small stream but there are usually people there early to get that spot, nice spot and a fire, cant wait.Quote:

Ok no worries! Well I will accept all advice at the time & see what happens! As it will be my 1st time out I wont be doing anything too extreme! As for everything else I will just wait & see what I need when I need it!
Cheers mate!
Ive got a couple of hand helds if you dont have a 2way. Get a good air compressor if you havent got one already.Quote:

Yeah I do have a 2way but cheers! No idea how good it is tho! Lol Just know its a 40 channel GME!Quote:

Thinking of getting a portable from supercheap 70L/min @150 max psi - $97
Good starting point or just suck it up & get an ARB?
Other quick question is I have a removable towbar (with pin) do most people just use that for recoveries or would you recommend a proper hitch receiver again supercheap $40 & rated - 4.7 T
Sorry for all the questions!!
But thank you all so much for your help & advice! Very much appreciated!!
Are you asking if you do recoveries with your tow ball? No getting a mounted recovery point i wouldn't put someone's life in the hands of your weathered towball pin, even a new one it's a lot of force on it.Quote:

Sorry what I meant was I have heard people talking about taking the tow ball completely off but putting the snatch strap back into the SHS with the pin going through the hitch & strap! but yes the force of the strap is then on the pin! The pin is at least solid 10 -12mm SS316. I do understand what your saying though!Quote:

Yeah I think I saw that in the catalogue!! Ok good to know that's the sort of thing I need!Quote:

Using the pin is fine for non-kinetic loads or easy snatch loads (say less than 1,000 Kg)... but needs dictate the solution sometimes.
When we going to Julimar? I'm home on the 31 March!!!
@Dman... if you're not in a hurry to get an air compressor and hitch receiver, I'm sure I have spare ones sitting on my shelf at home...
Will more likely be powerlines mateQuote:
