    Is that the freeway that shredded your tyre?

    Yep damn it! I staked a Khumo on the third day on the inside wall. I Put 2 plugs in her and drove for 3 more days until it started leaking. Re plugged it and got another day. Was adding air for 2 days.

    Got to Big Red and dropped the pressure from 25 in the back to 14psi. Took it's toll I think. Reinflated to 25 for the trip into Birdsville and got into high range for the first time in a week. (have not seen above 15km/h all week) and hit 40 on the corrigations and the plugs split and tore the inside and blew to tyre. 100m on the corrigations did the rest. 1 destroyed Khumo.

    The only good thing about an 80 series is..... the front end?? Wrong!!, the Engine?? Wrong!! the Full Time 4WD system?? Wrong!! Its the NissanPatrol.com.au stubby holder fitted over the transfer lever.

    I left Birdsville at 8am yesterday. We did 800 kms yesterday and camped at Hawker. We did 1100kms today and I rolled into the driveway at home at 12:15am.

    Home!

    Shower and bed for this monkey

    Cheers Plas, I got thrown straight back into work and have been at a Big Geotech Conference this week. only getting to my emails and voice messages today (150 emails in the inbox) Damn!!

    Got some great pics and shot a heap of great Video with your windscreen cam mate. i have to try and collate it into a video package and then embed it here. I will have to spend a little time figuring out how to embed single AVI files here for a taste though??? do i need to send them to photobucket first?

    Got a Joke...................


    What does it take to get a Toyota Hilux across the Madigan Line????
