I edited your post to remove the redundant "https:// " from the front of each URL.

Your links work OK now. At least they do for me ... :biggrin: :lol:
 
Nice vids, thanks for sharing !

@stilson, what LSD's do you have ?
 
I have a front helical from a 6spd, centre DCCD and a plated rear.

But they are sitting on the shelf in my shed.

Just the standard VLSD doing its thing at the mo.
 
I am proud to report that Captain Sense of Direction (me) got Twinklz and t.ridden through a new and exciting track in Mundaring, very sensibly, with absolutely no getting lost at all yesterday.

I'll let t.ridden do the trip report as he has the best videos of the smooth running day.

aha aha ha...ha... lost, no of course not -.-
just 3 hours without a clue of where we were or where we were headed!
 
Awesome day out at Gnangara today!
Didn't get anywhere near Moore River, but it was fun and no-one broke anything severe (Red and Blanket, confirm?)
Also, I didn't get anywhere near the number of photos and videos i was hoping to, but I have a few good ones
Total vehicle count, 5
3 Monster Forries (stilson, Taza and BeeJ), 1 Outback (with newly modified front bumper, Blanket25) and one stock Foz (RedXS)

All was going well, and then Taza decided the going was too smooth...

Forries can do some mad bumps mate, but not that mad!!

Further along, the soft, sandy track hardened a little, but became narrower and "scratchy" as Red puits it..

Blanket decided to show off his new approach angles...

And made a speedy exit upon disappointedly discovering a lack of mud in that hole...

After a few wrong turns (well, we can't make a wrong turn without a planned route, right?), we found ourselves a nice little freeway :D
Much 100kmh fun was had here (safely of course), with the turbo/auto Foz kicking all our butts.

Apologies, this is the best pic i have of this bit. Basically the road continued in this fashion, wide enough for 3 cars at speed, in a generally straight line for a few kms.
 
Fast forward through some more scratchy bush, we came upon a sand hill with some climb tracks already etched into its side... the temptation was too great, so we all gave it a crack!
In the end, we all made it up at least once, except Blanket and the poor Outback, the LWB was giving no love here.

Somehow, i managed to NOT get any video of anyone actually making it up the hill :( :(
So here's the three big fellas and their "almosts"

And my best action sequence for the day goes to BeeJ (I'm still new to this .GIF thing, so hopefully this works...)

Big thanks to everyone for a great day, hopefully I'll be bringing Scooby up to join in one day soon!
Special thanks to Red for picking me up and even letting me have a drive :D
And to Blanket for letting me ride in comfort for most of the day.

The brakes stopped making that annoying noise after I left the sand, I already have a large range of clips for putting panels back on (as it happens all the time in my car) and I already have polish and touch up paint to make my car look pretty again. So a total damage bill of $0, not too bad.

I will try to get the videos+pics from Iivend the next time I see him at uni.

All up it was a great day! Now lets never go down a scratchy track again:lol:
