Mine goes in Tuesday next week - front diff leak, play in tie rod ends, and replace the brakes, as well as repair some bits of trim. It will be with them for at least two days. I'm hoping there are no problems.

Hi Guys
Can you PM me with details of any recovery gear you have so we dont double up and also have enough.
If anyone going has a decent air compressor that would be great. I have to take a week off work to pump my tyres up with my Bushranger. Take the road less traveled.

I'll be bringing my shiny new ARB portable unit - procured from the 4WD & Camping show.

Another starter!

I just spoke to Baggy (Vic) - he and his wife will be coming along too!

I just asked my wife to come along as well

They have booked a room as well.

I'll update the contact list and PM to everyone. Maybe you could add the recovery gear to the list and return to me. Thanks,
Rob

For a day trip, would a stock vehicle handle it, no MTR/ATR etc, running on Wrangler HP's ? Or is it all serious stuff ..

Last time we did the trip we had a D3 with HT tyres and handled OK.
There are alternative runs on most of the difficult parts. The recovery gear is a precaution only.
Come along and join us for a bit of fun

Not sure about HT, but mine are stock Wranglers (HP All weather) as fitted by LR in Brummie land (in my case a Tyre outlet in Bentleigh near Melbourne).. happy to join if you guys can put up with: a) A pom, b) a Range Rover sport in the mix

, where is everyone meeting up

The Sport is very standard, Its already got its bush stripes however

Hi Zilch - you are most welcome to join!

Check out the first post in this thread - I put the contact details there. I'll also send you the contact list and ask if you would reply to me with your details.

BTW, there was also a D3 on standard Wranglers on the Bendethera trip - no problems at all.

Thanks,
Rob
