Alright, figured we could have a separate thread for this :)
Will be good for some light 4x4ing, bring your mates etc.


Meet at KFC Mundaring at 9:30?

That works for me.

I'll be rocking up in a D22.
Limited recovery gear on board. Winch with 50m of reach. No snatch strap.

Shovels etc. and the likes of the basic stuff on board.

Repco have a sale on Snatch straps at the moment, will grab one, 8t for $59 or 11t for $79.
Will be there hopefully to fuck my nice and shiny car up :)

Remember, don't buy a strap that's rated far heavier than you need for your vehicle.. Any dual cab Ute should be good for 8t. Go too heavy and you'll damage your chassis in a hard snatch as the strap won't stretch and absorb the force correctly.

Mate tried snatching another mate out of the mud with an 8t one, wasn't good enough for 2 GU Patrols, he got the 11t, the kids left it all fucked up in his car and it ended up with a knot in it, still it's done about 20 hard recoverys and still going strong :)

Not sure what I'll go for mine, maybe grab a couple.

Weather report is indicating 25degrees and partly sunny.

Should be a decent day for some fun!

You would have missed us by minutes by the sound of it.

Was a good day, got to see muppets dropping springs, and P-platers smashing limiter trying to get up things.

Electronic wizardry was definitely the winner of the day. Quite impressive what modern tech can do in a 4x4 these days.

good day - realized that I left the Disco in "normal" mode for the second half (after the spring incident) - didn't seem to bother it too much

Humble brag
