    More great shots there Justo

    Pitty WA is a bit far for a day trip... looks like you all had a great day out.
    Cheers, Leon

      Aaaww c'mon Snaga. I'm heading over to Brissy in a couple of weeks - just for a drive around - and to give the Prado a decent 'clean out' run. :lol:

        Absolutely great shots for what looked like a perfect day from what I have seen so far. I am still trying to finish downloading the first page (have been at it for over an hour as I can only get 31.2 dial-up).

            Great productions Russ WA... Looks like you needed a traffic controller in the last water sections

            What tyre pressure were you guys running on that sand hill that a few people had trouble with??

              Not sure about everyone else but I was running on about 18psi. I didn't want to drop any lower unless it was needed.

                The first hill I didn't even get close - tyres were still hard. The other one that took me two shots was about 22. I eventually went to 18 too and got through everything.

                But that was my first day out in the prado, so being a good virgin, I was taking it slow and testing things out a bit. :shock:

                It was great to watch all the more experienced guys and then again watch Russ' vids. I learnt heaps - cheers.

                  Just not enough momentum on the first hill mate. I was still on 40psi :shock: :lol:

                    Yeah, thanks mate - I started figuring that out by the end of the day. Any and all advice happily accepted!

                    and btw, I wasn't blaming tyre pressure for that one - it was because of what was behind the wheel ops: . One day I'll get the guts to push it like you do the grande....but then again it's a TD with lower kW than the VVTi, so I'll have to figure it out a bit differnetly, I guess.

                    as I said, I had a great day and enjoyed the opportunity to learn by watching and talking.

                    Looking forward to the next one.

                      Oh and you had the dogs in the back.. 8) Mine was a bit over it by the end of the day, (dont know why) but she was keen to get back in last night to go for a drive. So guess it hasn't scared her off.!
                      You did well mate, I didn't see you bogged anywhere. First time out in sand and not bogged, you must've done something right.. :wink:

                        Hi Russ.

                        I finally got a chance to watch the videos.

                        Good job.

                              You're right there. The few tiny spots of mud were taken care of by the natural car wash. Weekends like this need MUD. :lol:

                              But have a look HERE at Jeff's pics from his 4WD club's trip out to the Harvey hills. I reckon there's enough mud here to satisfy most cravings. :lol:

                              This is where Jeff wants us to go - for the next trip, and after the VVTi's had so much fun on the sand, this is where the diesels will show their strengths.

                              Cheers
