    Reds West looked great as well but not quite as difficult and the chicken track looked considerably easier (but not easy).

    Can we go back there?

    I'm coming as well

    Being you drive a gu you better make sure your winch works....

    For those that think you could do this without a winch you would be nuts and to try and get someone rescued up there would be so bloody hard..

    Yes I made it and so did 2 others but 2 didn't and it was a huge effort even with the right gear to get them up.

    A real truck breaker.....

    Very keen to go back again!


    Didn't even know toolangi had those climbs, great fun!!!

    The camp site was spot on too, just off the main drag and no one else can camp near you.

    Small little creek like at kris's property and only 10 mins from the servo for supplies and bacon and egg rolls if you can't be bothered cooking!

    Ok looks like the gu might have abit more damage than first thought .
    The front spring has twisted slightly but the noise seems to be coming from the auto locking hubs and I seem to have a large clunk coming from the back now as well .
    Should find out more tomorrow but might be locker damage or diff
    Still all good fun this might empty the wallet though not the best when out of work

    if you are in 2wd properly then there should be No Noise from the auto Hubs. If your driving around and the front Hubs have not disengaged then that will not be great and they will be noisy as your getting front wind up. Not ideal.

    Go for a good drive in reverse mate. 10 or 20m and see if you can disengage them.

    For the rear check under the car and see that the Swag bar links are in place and you have not broken one. You will instantly see if there is external damage. The front spring will only take you to jack the car up by the chassis to lift the front and extend the spring until it lets go then grab it with your hands and spin it back into place. It will cost you nothing and take 2 minutes.

    Good luck mate

    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.

    Bloody hell mate , the auto hubs I hope are not a big deal but am worried about the rear???
    Keep us informed as to how it goes... I feel your pain as far as the wallet goes.

    Told you guys this hill was a truck breaker..

    Yeh it was a great spot and those tracks were awesome. Definitely have to go back and have another play soon, once my winch is working.
