There are heaps of signs like that over this way mostly on the beaches but instead of $100 it's more like $500.
I think it's that high to deter people being stupid enough to go down at certain times of the year and put themselves and the recoverer in dangerous positions.
I personally think it's a great idea as long as you get the money upfront.

Epic Fail.
I ordered some upper spring seat insulators, and they got the bottom ones, as that is all the company they deal with makes.
I also got a loan of some spring compressors so I could fit the insulators
I decided to try slipping a piece of inner tube in to see if the noise stopped. That turned out to be a bad decision ...
I dropped the bottom shock mount, and the sway bar, and proceeded to use the spring compressors, but they started to flex, more than the spring.
I undid them and undid the panhard arm, to get a bit more clearance, but the last ten-eleven mm of the thread stripped off.
Having no way to get into town (my deadly treadly is kaputz at the moment), I had to file the wrecked thread down so the nut would fit. Luckily I have a small triangular file and was able to fashion the start of the thread. (Phew).
After gently getting the nut to fit, I found that the nylock just misses the thread. I reassembled the panhard and drilled a hole through the end for a cotter pin to fit as a bit of a insurance.
I have had to fit a thin inadequate pin, because unfortunately the drill bit that fits the beefier pin is missing, so now I have to get cleaned up and head into town again.

My advice is: not to follow my advice.
Just seen on the news that our cockhead pm is raising fuel exise. Someone needs to rip his ears off and shove them where the sun don't shine. This plick makes my blood boil.
Yeah but we gotta pay for chit somehow. Nothing more certain than death and taxes mate....Originally Posted by mudski

Underhanded wankers
Yep fuel excise is a sneaky way to raise money from the poorest members of society who are already struggling bigtime

Couldn't agree more. Thankfully I'm living close to work at the moment, but you know most politicians won't be affected. Not an even way to tax society at all. Some country people are really gonna cop the brunt of this.
Thanks, Cameron
No Patrol now - Just good memories!
Aint that the truth!!!
Sharky. Get down there with a chainsaw and lop some trees across the bog hole.Or if you have a dozer or excavator, drop some big boulders in the way. That would piss me off to no end. Dickheads going out, making a racket, ripping up whats already farked, giving honest 4wdérs a bad name and then getting stuck and have the balls to ask for help. Should have just called the cops and said you think someone is down there with a stolen car or something.
