It now appears I am out of the trip... :'( :-[ I went for a night run late last night upto Sugarloaf to rescue a mate and drove into a drainage canal across the track. The result is a bent bullbar and mangled mounts, wrecked front quarter, cracked grill and dinted bonnet. I'm really not having a good run with my truck lately. I would still come but the bullbar has been bent into the wheel arch so cant articulate the front wheel without scrubbing my tyres on it, also the fan is scrubbing on the shroud under torque plus I now have to find some money to replace the panel (use the booral trip money) :'( :-[

I've decided to take the truck off the road until the watagans run in June just to get it all in order. It's a bit of a mess at the moment. Spewing guys I cant come but that is the risk you take when you go offroad I guess :-\

Have a great time and take heaps of pics, I was keen as for the trip too as I've never been to booral before.

here's a pic of the damage:

Yeah she's draining me a bit at the moment Mick, I cant seem to go out without breaking something or something busting :-\ Yeah I pulled my mate out alright, He was stuck in a small bog hole for 4.5hrs at freezing temps so he was pretty grateful when I showed up. He was on the powerlines track right near sugar valley golf course. It'll be ok but, this luck would have to continue for 9 ears for me to start to think I should sell the rig :D

Trip in the future would be great Steve! Really sorry I cant make this one, 4 trucks will make it a good run but, should cover alot of tracks with little delays. Goodluck with the gearbox, hope she gets fixed before Friday, If not just remember a jheep is not a patrol :P ;D

Sorry Steve I'm out to I have a Club trip on, on the same weekend that I should go to. My wife also wants me home by 1pm on Sunday.
The Club trip is nearly in the same area. about 60k's as the crow flies maybe less.
