Headed into the Gates of Hell track after dark. Had done a couple of warmup tracks already.

Had a great run through in both directions. Much dryer than last time and great fun. I had the gopro going and will see about some video for you.

Had winch trouble late Saturday night but was able to keep going.

Had to Winch into camp Saturday night and broke my winch rope twice before abandoning the attempt and getting another GQ with a 24v HiMount to winch up and then winch me into camp with a disabled winch and No Locker.

My navi and lights spliced my rope on Sunday Morning while I fixed the locker and we winched back out of camp again!! Crazy stuff.

So when does the 24 v winch go in and the 37s go on. Haha. Great photos mate where can we see the vids of the trip??

[Winnie]

Haha you should have messaged me! Seriously though I do want it gone and it has to be gone before the Simpson. We have to stop putting this off and set a weekend... Not one of the two following weekends though haha

Sunday was a great day. Started early on only a few hours sleep and didn't let for most of the day.

The Melbourne crew left around lunchtime for family commitments and 1 of the GQs had blown a CV.

So after lunch Lights had something special. A track that had been washed out for a few years and undrivable was on the list to drive today!!! I seriously thought he was joking when we pulled up!!

Yes that is shoulder height and undercut. That's Lights from the vendors section standing there. He is a mad bastard!!!

The 24v is a Priority and is getting sorted. Winnie is a great bloke and is helping me there.

The Tyres will have to wait a little while. Funds are bloody tight at the moment so on the back burner. The next set of tyres will be 37" Maxxis Treps though for sure! Just like on the 80 Comp truck on the pics. They ate the Simex 35" ETs all weekend.!!!

Looks like an awesome time! But I'm stumped why did you only 1/3 polish your driveshaft?

Cheeky Bastard!!
