For all the guys that are heading out on your first off road drive please try and make sure that you have a rated recovery point front and rear of you car at a minimum.
The pin in your tow bar will be fine for the back and a good chassis mounted hook on the front please. Also it's great if you can carry your own 8000kg snatch strap in good condition. Anything else you need someone will have your back but you all should have this.
Have a great trip guys

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.Originally Posted by Rogue Dung Beetle
WARNING: Towballs used for recoveries can, and do kill people and damage property.

Yeah good point Darren as this has been one thing that has frustrated me before when trying to help out a stranger in need.
The Look out is halfway between Flowerdale and Broadford and is where the really tight twisty bit on the map is... well sign posted as it is one of those touristy look spots.
Yes this is kid friendly !!!

(Head in palms) i was, but i rekon i would have a better chance in the mazda thats axed on its bollocks making it up any hill hahaha ImageUploadedByTapatalk1354182330.124578.jpg
I have front and rear recovery points and a snatch strap also but no winch as yet
green 1997 rx 2.8td manual, 2"liftkit with poli air in the rear, bullbar, ipf900 spotties, snorkle, uhf, 145lt longrange tank
soon to include 3" exhaust, custom psi/pyro gauge inbuilt to the dash and plenty natual pinstriping by the bush
Well hopefully we wont need it.... but then again I have an erg to do Cable track so a winch might be handy.... he he!!!
Bills track always has big puddles no matter what and some are bloody deep, my mate sank his D-Max in one and more than 6 weeks later on a hill water still poured out of his car!!!
Yeah but even a lifted d-max is as high as my wifes crumpdore! I should be good for this day but i will have to make it a last minute thing as being close to christmas i might be too pissed to go anywhere...
You going to scare the newbies off ba I'm glad my misses doesn't really read these.

Snatch straps on towballs can harm and/or kill!!!!!!
Nah all good Kev, I would not suggest a track if I dont think a noob could do it.
Bills track has chicken tracks around all the hard bog holes so we can all do that track and if we are lucky we can convince Jim and his D-max to go for a swim for our enjoyment!!!!
How many are running all terrains and standard height????
This is me on Bills track
And this is Jim getting stuck on Bills track
And this is Cable track, a bit harder
