Re: TRIP REPORT (pg.2) : NSW - Colo Hts, Newnes SF

Glenn,

I just watched your video from Sunday and was wondering how you have mounted your video camera on/in your car?

With one of these...

http://www.mektronics.com.au/index.php? ... &Itemid=57

I bought one off ebay from a guy who obviously buys a few from Mektronics & resells them at an inflated price :!: :evil:
I later discovered I paid way too much :evil: You should be able to buy the Panavise camera mount direct from the importers by the looks as you can buy from their website. There are a lot of cheap ones on ebay too but I don't know what the quality is like; the Panavise one I have has been excellent so far

Glenn

im so tempted to buy a GoPro but the helmet HERO so I can use it for skiing and mountain biking as well

btw, any damage glenn? aside from the bashplate. any leakage inside the cabin?

Yes the muddy water did eventually seep in with the drivers side carpet saturated :!: Only a small amount on the passenger side. Carpet is almost dried out now as I had the A/C & heater going all day yesterday. When it's totally dry will get the vacuum cleaner on to it :wink: Would much prefer to have vinyl flooring like the Hilux had, easy to clean :!: Also have a sticky starter motor solenoid & also discovered an oil leak underneath, possibly rear main by the looks :roll: dunno if it's caused by the muddy water though :?: Gotta get a rego check so will get my mechanic to have a look.

Cheers,

Glenn

Finally, Glenn inspects the damage to his front bash plate

That looks familiar :mrgreen: ... here's mine ops:

:lol: good one Leon, that looks like the front bash plate :?:

Mine is the smaller one behind the main; ripped it straight through the bolts when going forward/reverse trying to get off the mound of clay under the water :shock:

:lol: Yeah, apparently clay wins out over the bolts holding tight
Mine was snatching backwards and the bashplate dug into the clay edge of the boghole.

I noticed a little whack on the bank by the front bumper of the 150 in one of those vids... just interested how the plastic stands up to a little bit of rough treatment :?:

It doesnt, ive already punctured the front bar (how I dont know, but i have my suspicions). Lucky I have an ARB Winch bar being painted as we speak so it can be fitted next week. That should also give me better front end clearance too.

Mind you, that being said, Im 99% sure that the "bump" you witnessed didnt cause the hole in the bumper, or deform the bumper in anyway.

Cool, that's good to know. I guess the great thing about plastic is that it usually pops back in straight away
