This next set has to be titled "The Leachy Hole" ... :lol: :lol:





















Then there was a bit more wheel lifting







Leachy crosses up



Fishnut picks his line





A classic Toyota ad.

Sharky has a go at the same hill ... certainly locker country. Leachy has one in the rear ... Sharky has one at each end. :lol: :lol:







It was about this time that Leachy had to bail ... he had a luncheon date that couldn't be missed.

Sharky lines up for another mud bath.



Ooopppsss ! ops: ops:



There's nothing like a good mud pack .. for the complexion.



Sharky muds up ... well, he would have if there had been any real mud around.







Fishnut found out how deep the wheel ruts were ... about 1 inch taller than the Prado's clearance



So we got to do a bit more recovery practice



.... and if snatching doesn't work .. just use a bit of manpower !! :lol: :lol:





.... and I know how much you guys like dirty photos :lol: :lol: ... so here goes ....











Thanks to Sharky for a great lead and to Leachy, Fishnut, Deb and the Furkids for the great company. A fantastic day out.

Cheers

G'day Samo ... a couple of answers for you

Firstly ...

The Fishnut Flyer ...... TD, standard suspension, Grandcraps
The Chippy Chariot ..... V6, 2" OME, balding Kelly's
The Leachy Limo .... D4D, 2" Billy / Lovells, Rear locker, MTZs
The Sharky Shuttle .... V6, 2" OME, twin lockers, round black rubber things (sorry .. I can't remember what they are ops: )

The lockers really made a difference in some of the ugly bits and Fishnut and I often had to go around ... not just for clearance but because I simply couldn't get traction.

On the locker front ... Sharky's tyres lost bite long before the lockers stopped trying. Leachy's MTZ's made up for only having one locker by having significantly better bite.

The ideal combo ... Twin Lockers AND MTZ's :lol: :lol: :lol:

Cheers
Chippy

Excellent pics guys.

Mark (Sharky),

You have more guts than me mate, I don't mind big steps but I'm too timid for mud holes. Good to see the lockers put to good use. The cars looking good mate.

AAAAAAWwwwwwwwww. Not fair I say!!!!

Some good entries for show us your flex photos there...

I'm jealous, but I also may have gotten a bit overzealous if I went and tried a few bits that MUMSRIG wouldn't have agreed with... It still looks pretty at the moment... :wink:

Fun day had by all, most definatley....

Leachy

Popped back on alright ... but the clip closest to the front has snapped.

A slight sideways shift in the middle of the mud hole and the plastic guard kissed the wall. I did the same slide but my sidestep got there first.

Maybe a little glue ... or a bead of silicon .... would hold it on forever.
Look to damned expensive to replace until it gets munched properly

Cheers
Chippy
