so, i decided yesterday arvo itd be a great idea to go for a casual drive in the hills and see some mud
was about time to get it dirty. came down the hill alright, followed the ruts. Then the challenge got set....get back UP
first up was the "steamroller"
made it look easy as piss, but then again he does have a locker
Gus tried it out in the "Atari" Vitara. Got a respectable distance up but wasnt getting any further
My turn.......like driving an RB20, flat to the boards, take no prisoners
wasnt goin to let this hill beat me, so rolled back for another go
gave up, as i was getting stuck in the very last bit of the rut and risked burying my diff in if i tried with any speed
then the next guy attacks it.....gets to the same spot, but not to be beaten, moves one more rut to the right....shit tonne slipperier. Keeps going back for bites, until this
pics dont show it well, but it was super steep and slick as. Used the first truck's winch, only to find the "cheap chinese copy" of a good winch wasnt sufficient...the end of the wire thats meant to be secured to the drum was just floating............so once tension was on it wouldnt pull
Time to try mine out
3 hours later, god knows how many different pull angles, my winch rope bunched up and snagged, so we were destined to use only snatch straps to get out........bit of panel damage on the Maverick where it snagged on the tree on the low side, but we all got out
Now to clean all the "gorilla snot" off
Scandy......think i need a new sig pic now
