Danrocks Posted September 13, 2009 Share Posted September 13, 2009 I was lucky enough to get out and go for a drive this arvo, so i picked up the girlfriend, and went exploring. i was keen to follow a track i had driven past a few times, up at red hill, along toodyay rd. theres no gates or fences, no signs to say you cant go in there, so i went for a look. i dont know if your allowed to or not, the only thing around there is a big quarry. i will have to find out. we had a ball, there is tracks everywhere through there, most of it is slow going, the tracks i followed were mostly first and second gear, low range. its mostly up and down hills, rocky, and rutted out, with a bit of mud around to mix it up. had a good afternoon testing out the rancho's, which were a big improvment on what i had before. couldnt explore too much, it was late arvo, and i didnt fancy trying to find my way out in the dark. but i did see quite a few sections that would be very challenging, but i didnt attempt them, i didnt want to get stuck without any help around. i had the missus out taking picks, im spewing, cause at one section, i had the suspension screwed up into a ball, and she reckons she was in shock, she thought something was brocken because all the wheels were sticking out in all different directions, so much in shock, she didnt take a pic, but reckons it was the most amazing thing she has seen. i should of left her out there!!!!!!!! So i reckon we should all get out there, make a day of it, and have some fun, when we are all back on the road that is. pics are on the way, just waiting for photobucket to upload them.

Danrocks Posted September 13, 2009 Share Posted September 13, 2009 And a couple more The new lift i put in made a big difference, heaps more clearance, and the wider offset wheels made the car feel alot more stable. I had a good day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
