I hate Bog Holes! I drive around them when ever i can. No heros. I hate them. they cost money and kill cars. I was not a fan of doing this particular track, i ahve done it before and promised myself i would never do it again! Damn it! i did it again in the bloody DARK! I saw for the first time the tree that i wrapped tha car around about 4 years ago that caused me te begin the strip down and Ground up Rebuild featured in this thread. This bloody track! I hate Bog Holes!
This track really was a Winching Exercise. Rough. Tough. Undrivable. I went in fully prepared to travel Solo and self recover from what ever may present for the length of the track. My Navi was well experienced and i had enough gear to do pretty well anything as long as my equipment did not fail.
Coming up you will see the extreme end of that Roofy. Quite extraordinary!
And the way to my heart is through Chocolate and Beer!
Hey Ben, I Farking HATE Bog holes mate!! Find me that Rock Garden mate and i am right there with you.

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.
WARNING: Towballs used for recoveries can, and do kill people and damage property.
Last Hole to get out of the Track (first hole going in) Just like a Belly Flop!
Diff Locks on, Clutch out, No Feeling in the car like everything is turning! Was basically Liquefaction.
The Dung Beetle had to climb out the window
5 Inch lift and with the wheels spinning the springs expanded to full droop in the mud! No Compression in them! like being on a Hoist!
Danny got busy on the shovel
After starting out the Hi Mount Winch on a Double line pull we went to a Triple Line Pull!!
One of the Snatch Blocks EXPLODED during the Triple line pull! Amazing! Would never have thought a Snatch block to be the weakest link!
Went to a Triple line pull and brought in a second car with a 12000 winch for a Single line pull from the other hook

Notice how high we had the Triple line pull trying to get some suction release while winching
Look at the mud I'm moving here
2 hours i was stuck in that mud! Very very big pull to get me out.

Thats intense looking, it looks like that track doesn't like you Darren!! Apart the fact mud costs money, can you say you conquered it or is it Track 2 - MR 0 ?? It would eat me away inside if something like that got the better of me.
No going through that stuff Dazz....Mr plough!!!!
Good onya Danny, loves it!!!!
Mate you would even have trouble getting an excavator through
that lot well done
Your right Roofy, even an excavator would have had to be recovered out of that.
Incredible strain on the gear.
Need to talk to Kallen about some test gear as I hammered my stuf and broke a fair bit of it! I'll Test it lol
