Well it looks like you guys had an absolute ball. The next trip (after the simmo) and I'll make the trip down again. Thanks for sharing all the pics and vidsQuote:

Glad the damage report is not as much as first thought.
No didn't Manuel lock the hubs , I no some people do this and I will do this from now
but the mechanic said he never has and doesn't think it makes much difference .
I think I might have done the damage on the last trip up too the high country
That was me! Just joined up to say g'day and glad I was in a position to help.Quote:

Yeah i remember asking Rosco whether your other front wheel was spinning as it didn't look like it was, but i couldn't see from where i was standing.
I manually lock the hubs when doing harder tracks although i didnt on the weekend. i will next time i go back as i've heard of instances of them unlocking when reversing back down rock steps and what not.
Sooooooo I guess that means the gu got up in 2wd then haha :icon_victory:
No it wouldn't have happened with out the help from you guys thanks

Though you do really need to get a front recovery point sorted Andy. I've got the factory hook from mine you can have if it fits
