Victorian meet up Jan 25th-28th 2013 Walhalla

[Bob]

If I do manage to come up (ie permission from da Guvna), will my standard vehicle tackle the terrain. Or will I have to park again and jump in with someone.
Cos I would like to do it all in my own car.
Or am I just better off waiting to do things when I'm set up. Lift, tyres, winch, at the least.
And a off road map device cos you never give directions just GPS co-ords.

I have never modified any of the Patrols that I have owned and have travelled all over the High Country.
They are very capable Vehicles

Mego,
One of my regular driving mates was doing trips around the high country for years in a bog standard early 120 Prado (no traction control either) until he had the dosh to begin modding it.......we used to call him tripod but it did everything he asked of it.
I was his regular navi and we needed some discretion with track choice but it certainly changed my view of the capabilities of a Prado (wash my mouth out I know)......
With the right track choices, your GU will do more than that Prado for sure......

I am back to work tomorrow and I have not got a plan in place at all, I have my main jobs lined up but that is it.... all I can think about is this trip and all my brain power is spent planning things in my head!!!!

Got my baby back yesterday from the exhaust place and only drove one km then spent the day out with my daughter for her birthday so dont really know what she is running like???

Did not need to CAT either so more straight through than I was expecting.

I will bring my trailer but am not sure if I will bring bins yet??

Is it the 24th yet??

Busting my balls to get there, well more back, Mego you can drive mine if you want to park yours, But between you and me the Nissan Patrol would have to
be one the best 4x4,s straight off the showroom floor. one of the last of the live axle jobs, trust me would I lie to you.

Everyone should know convoy procedure, only worry about the guy behind you, eg aat an intersection wait till 4x4 behind you sees you flashes lights or indicates and take off, the 4x4 in front of you should be waiting as well for you if there is a turn etc, easy when you know how, plus most have UHF as well

You should do alright mego but maybe a couple of sections on the harder tracks that you'd need to be smart about? What size tyres do you have?
