It would be great to be rolling at 9am if that suits everyone. @jonno what time do you think you will roll on mate?
Certainly we need to adhere to a simple Convoy Precedure or it will all go to hell and we will loose people on the Mountain.
umm just had the thrust bearing fail... gunna try and get it fixed in time.. might be a late night or two for me. hopefully I can get it done before fri...
Suck it up Garret bahaha.
My list at of this morning:
Re-assemble front diff. Just finished bracing it and painting it. ALL that is in the housing is the LOCKED CENTRE (WOOT) no bearings or seals etc.
THEN re fit the front diff.
Bleed brakes
Fix powersteering fluid leak. Appears to be non pressure line hose clamp leaking. Might be fractured hose but should be easy enough to sort out.
Coolant seep from thermostat housing. Hoping some silicon will help it seal up.
Gotta sort rear of car out to as I had to use it for work recently and all my 4wding stuff is sitting in shed including fridge.
So I got a busy few days ahead of me.... Best I get to it lol
I have a bag of girls clothes and ( sealed) disposable nappies. 0-6 months. If anyone can pass them on to someone who can use them , I'll bring them on weekend.

Do you want to skull drag it up here & use my shed again @matfew ?😝 I've cleaned the big shed so we could get it in there by the potbelly - no more working half under the carport with the blizzard conditions blowing in 😉
Weather looks like its clearing up in Licola across Friday/Sat/Sunday, and wind moderating up on the mountain to some degree, light dusting of snow predicted, minus temps on the mountain, so rug up.
Does anyone remember if there were freezers in the kitchen cabin?

Ooh nice, any pics? Would have been nice doing it out of the car was pretty awkward doing in mine with it in. Would have been able to do a nicer job too, hope no one looks at the welds on the back side of mine [emoji53] . . .
Sounds like a bit of work to go good luck ! ! . . .

Nah I've been to busy to think of pics. Wish I did now.
ALMOST there. Seems I am missing 2 seals that bolt on with the spindle. Will chase them tomorrow. But the diff is in car and everything I can reconnect and connected. Tomorrow I gotta fix one of my bead locked tyres, service the ol girl and pack.
Same time same place last year was this trip when my turbo started leaking ending in months of stress!!!
I've just sent a prayer and sacrificed a goat and the neighbours cat to ensure a trouble free weekend!

I consulted with Moodz re the freezers but she can't remember sorry man
Bastards that is all 😊
It was Freezing today..... That is All.
I can't follow this thread - you guys have lost me, again, so thank you
I'm trying to remain positive re the snow - BUT it hasn't rained here for 3 weeks so I'm unsure about snowfall .......
They tell me it was flogging down all the way from Geelong to Warragul . Never got here though .
Sitting in my site office trying to stay warm, and have been keeping an eye on the snow report for the Mt Howitt area. Bear in mind Mt Howitt is at 1700M and we will probably only get to maybe 1300m, but its going to be increasing wind from 35 - 45kmhr on Saturday with wind chill circa minus 8 degC, light dusting of fresh snow from thursday thru to wed next week. When I was up there on Queens Birthday weekend there was patchy snow around near the carpark adjacent to the seasonal gate, at 1300m. Either way despite being clear skies predicted, will be very cold up there. Excellent! Licola is tame at 2 - 10 deg C
Cold & wet in Heyfield today , they're saying snow down to 700m tonight 👍🏼
Snowing at Mt Macedon atm..

WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOT!!!!
Not long to go and I now actually HAVE a car to drive haha. Diff is in. Locker is working a treat. No leaks which is great.
All bead locks are now working a treat although still some air flow issues with tyres but they are functional just slow to pump up.
Might have to bleed brakes a bit more when I get there but thats easy enough.
It feels UNBELIEVABLE in the front now. Should of done this years ago haha. SOOOOO SMOOTH and tight. I thought my steering box was shagged but now it feels perfect. LOVING IT.
See how she goes on the long haul tomorrow.
BRING IT ON guys.
I may have missed it are we doing a big cook up again or just fending for ourselves.
CAN NOT WAIT for this.
