Lockers aren't cheating they just make it easier to get stuck worse on harder tracks, I depends on how you like to think about it.

Yep - awesome joint - I'll get the area dhuck and Steve went to up tonight. Looks like rainforest!! Amazing that it sort of has everything - mud, rocky hill climbs, shale, bushland tracks, rainforest tracks, creek crossings, etc - couldn't ask for much more really!

Great work with the videos guys !:smiley_thumbs_up:

I must also mention a big thanks to my mate Shane (in the vid), he guided me through those rocks without hitting any parts of the car once, considering its his very first time ever real 4x4ing, let alone navigating, i think he did a pretty good job !

Dhuck just ploughed on through,(LOL), must have copied my exellent line :animierte-smilies-t (ha-ha)

Yep, Shane did a sterling job ... just one question though as I'd never seen them before ... what was the twirling of the finger each way?? LMFAO!! Don't get me wrong, I like it ... far easier than shouting down right and down left (which I get wrong anyway!! lol).

Sorry, couldn't resist!!

Ha-ha, i know what you mean, he wizzed his finger around so fast ,it was hard to work out what way he wanted me to turn sometimes :hpfredgeorge1:

We didn't discus any in any way what "method" he would use, just that he would help guide me through, anyway, im still happy to have got what is a pretty heavy, almost standard truck (50mm lift) on A/T's, safely through those slippery un-forgiving rocks without hitting , let him "twirl" away i say ! :wink:

Tore a couple of chunks from my tyres on the rocks and pulled a mudflap off, but apart from that no damage at all, looking back at some of the tracks we did, it could have been a lot worse.

On the way back my mate said ,"you didn't take any pic's", i said yeh, i must of been having way to much fun driving !

I did take one dodgey pic, i wanted to test my colour filter holder, never used it before, by the time id chose a colour, got it on the lens, and had a pose for the group pic (bigrigs rules), most of the cars had gone (ha-ha)

I don't much like the effect in this pic, but should work well for what i bought it for (sunsets) ..... here it is anyway.......

Casa del BigRig was the goods mate!! Ripped a tab off it trying to peg it down as the suspension/tyre lift doesn't allow the tent to sit on the ground, but all in all, a roaring success!! Thanks again old mate!!!
