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:

cannot get it to make the bang sound again it only happened when going around left hand corner. It did it once for the mechanic yesterday but hasn't done it
So I will keep a eye on it and get nissan to check it out next service .
Pretty happy with that out come
You are lucky mate... auto hubs suck.. did you lock your hubs.Quote:

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
G,day, lexx_au, since you've joined the forum, will you be getting a Patrol now?Quote:

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
Haha classic, welcome to the forum mate. Hope you stick around so we can convert you to the dark side!Quote:

Anyway enough about Yota's..... Hey Pickers it is not that you did it in 2wd over a gq it is testament to the nissan LSD.... and that would explain why you could not get going under your own steam.
It would not have mattered much even if we had figured what had happened by that stage...
Andy sort out some front recovery ya bone head..
That's a relief.Quote:

He wanted to put one on the front and the other on the rear of his GU so he could drag trees up his property. I tried for months begging him that it is a huge waste of a high mount and after sever persistence he gave in....YAY!!!
You shit me !!!!!!!Quote:

Hey, I was at the top of aeroplane track on Saturday with a few mates. Myself in my GU & another mate in a GQ & another mate in his, 80 series.
We come across a couple of you guys at the top. Me & my mate in his GQ decided not to tackle Aeroplane coz it was pretty shagged out & we both had young kids in the car. But my mate in the white 80series went down with his misses. Typical Toyota owner likes to brag about recovering the 2nd Patrol that went down & got stuck. I also noticed the Redback dirty gear bag, same as mine that I purchased off AB as the second vehicle went back down Aeroplane. That's when I realised it was you guys.
Who did he recover?
I can't believe how much Aeroplane track has gone to crap over the last couple of months

Since I put my bag on, it's never come off the vehicle, it's travelled to the Cape & all around Oz with me. Still holds up as strong as it was when I 1st purchased it. Top quality manufacturing.Quote:

I'm out until I get back from the simmo but no one is allowed to go back up red east or west whilst I'm away...lolQuote:
