Hey Guys ,
Thanks for another great day out . Was great to see 3 of the rigs make it to the top of Mt Walker .
Maybe one day mine will get there too ...

cheers

Yep, it was a great day on Mt Walker!

Mick, thanks for all your patience and assisting the winching.

Now, you guys wouldn't believe it, when I first crawled up the really gnarly section of Mt Walker, my front driver side wheel was spinning a bit, which means my front locker hadn't engaged! :O So Declan, new line?

Photos coming soon... videos; eventually; they're big in HD.

EDIT: My favourite photo thus far, on the gnarly section; I'll call this "thank god for sway bars";

I hadn't considered that. I usually engage the front on the fly during the climbs (on a mild section with low RPM), so figured it didn't engage due to the tension. Perhaps I should have a chat to ARB.

my rear played up a while ago, would take a bit to engage, was put down to failed o rings, under further inspecion it was the air slide mechanism, was repaced under warranty so alls good, hope you find a favourable outcome. cheers samo, buy the way the newish mudders look the shiz.

One of our favourite medium/hard hill climbs in this forest:

Here's the lower part of Mt Walker.

First up is me, I only have this shot of the higher section:



Declan having issues with the first step up:



Declan half way there:



Declan easily conquering the top section with his new MTZ's. A few weeks ago with the AT's, it just wasn't possible.

Me climbing the upper section of Mt Walker, taking the right hand side with multiple rock steps:

Declan having a go at the upper section of Mt Walker. Unfortunately that last big step wasn't going to allow him up, so out comes the winch...

GH4wd having a go at the upper section of Mt Walker. Almost made it over the last step, but unfortunately winch time again. I must say these winches make real easy work of nasty climbs - so much less stress on the vehicles.

Part of Lake Lyell:



Declan having a go at this short little climb. It's very steep and has a very significant step up. I only just managed to climb this with dual lockers (and I'm hoping someone has video of it!!)

Another good day out by the looks. I had my first little adventure around Lithgow on Saturday - we went in at Zig Zag and had a look around. Plenty of dirt bikes to keep you on your toes that is for sure. A few 4WD with massive lift and big tyres getting stuck into the real hard climbs.

cheers

Sorry guys. Couldn't make it yesterday. Couldn't get the car sorted in time plus I didn't recover well from a Bucks Night I will keep an eye out & hopefully be there next time.

Cheers
