Not wanting to sound like a scratched record but yes it was a great day in the SE Corner! A total of 14 cars headed off in two Groups. I led Group 1 and Fozzy group 2. Approx 30 minutes later. Here's pics from the day.


Everyone aired down at the meeting point and ready to go.

A good business case for a TG150 guard (hey Aaron?)

The lookout made for a good spot for a break and a chat.

Good to see the patrol with a proper badge on it!

wondering how long it would for someone to notice the Toyota Patrol (hehehe) If you look closely at my report pics, there were ONLY toyota's on this trip!!!(including the Toyota challenger...)

Gees you've got to have good eyesight to pick it up! I would never have noticed it if someone hadn't pointed it out. Good job mighty photoshopper

Clearly I can't follow basic instruction - hopefully this lot will work.

Hi Trev

You modified those side steps yet (read bent) if not I'm happy to show you how Doesn't the mud in that bog hole stink as well! It looked like a great day.

See ya on the tracks Richo.

Nah Richo

Mine was fine - I've got a slight lift (30mm)

Aaron was in a stock 150 and 'modified' them on the way up the rocky incline - I think think they were returned to stock later in the day bt our fearless trip leader, Craig.

Looking forward to catchng-up for a drive again very soon.

Trev

ps. The mudhole did stink - I had my son with me and he was both grossed out and loved it at the same time!

Yes the extra weight (I mean relaxed muscle) I have onboard assisted in massaging the steps back to a more acceptable angle I understand Aaron is now in the market for some replacement side step/skins to keep SWMBO at bay....
