The ruts were a bit too deep and the ground too slipery. Great effort though. On the way back after turning arround. The other rigs coming down afterwards because the track ahead was not passable. Beautiful bar work on this Hilux. The guy who fabricated this does this as a hobby...

Once we got turned arround, we took another loop. At the bottom of one hill there was a section that caused you to rub up against the side of the track for about 50' or so. Shot looking out at the end. The ground was still a bit damp in some sections due to recent rains making for some nice...

The bitumen ended at the Glass House Mountains look out where we stopped to air down. Two of the rigs, the black and silver 40 were running Staun internal beadlocks. From what I gather, they really like them. Both rigs were on 35" x 13.5" x 15 BFG Crawlers. One had 8" rims while the other...

Thanks to a member of this board, I was able to meet a very cool 40 Series fanatic. We met up for a beer before the holidays and have kept in touch. This past Saturday he invited me to tag along for some passenger seat wheeling. Just what I needed to clear my blues after parting with the...

Time to hit the road again. This time we were heading to Beerwah before turning South into Glass House Mountains, the village. Nothing overly eventfull on this leg of the journey except seeing some very nice rigs on their way home after a weekend camping. No pictures, but we followed a kitted...

With regret we had to leave the beautiful view and continue our journey. Windows down, air blowing in your face, beautiful weather and smiles on our face. Life was good. Out of the blue, we came across another road side gem. We stopped at this roadside vegetable stand for some fresh fruit, a...

I was thinking that as well. We also have this guy visit on occasion.

At this point, we were nearing Mount Mee and we decided to go have a look through Mount Mee State Forest. We drove to the park, had a look at the day use are full of Australian families enjoying the finer things in life as they typically do during a holiday. Family, food and beverages. At the...

Who need a 4WD when... It was Monday morning, the clouds has dissapeared and we got the itch to hit the road in the bomb again. What do you do when you get an itch, well you scratch it of course. Over some breakfast and coffee :coffee:, we looked over the map and decided to do a Northern loop...

Things are falling into place. I've got lots of advice for folks thinking of uprooting and moving to a new country. I'll say hi for you. Cheers, P

More critters... This guy was hanging out for a few poses. Not sure what he is, but looks like he's been in a battle from the tip of his tail. Shortly after this picture, the down pour began. It was a quiet but peaceful hike for the remainder of the loop. We looked like we had jumped into...

Along the way we saw some cool critters. We were not exactly sure what most of them were so we kept our distance and took some pictures. What could be hiding in here? A closer look... I was not messing with this guy. He was on the side of the track when Judy and Martha walked right by...

The next morning brough some clouds, perfect hiking weather. After some breakie and coffee we off for the day. We decided to go to the Purlingbrook Area beacause of all the recent rain, many of the tracks were closed due to slides, high water, fallen trees and deteriorated track conditions. A...

We spent the morning packing up food, tents, sunscreen, beer, Australian flags and hats. On the way out of town we picked up Martha's friends Judy. We took our time heading South on the motorway mainly because the bomb had a nasty vibration over 100 Km/h but we were in no hurry... On the way...

a mid 80's Toyota Corrolla with 330 000 Km's on the clock will do? This past weekend was an extended weekend thanks to Australia Day. Not one to be stuck at home because we had no wheels, Martha suggested we hire a car. Hmmm, sounds like a great idea. She found this place called Rent A Bomb...

And so the trip ends... Bravo! :victory:

No need to thank us, as the arm chair travellers we thank you for sharing....:sombrero: :lurk:

The story keeps on giving... KC, What a rare talent you have my friend. Started as a quick browse, ended in a full read but I should have known better... Well done. Cheers, P

Maxtrax revived... Replying to an old tread. I've recently watched the Great Sand Adventure - Faser Island by they crew from Australian 4WD Action (formerly Australian 4WD Monthly) and they used a set of MaxTrax that was bolted to Milo to help get some tourist unstuck from the sand. Seems...

Cool updates to your thread! CanuckMariner, Just read through your updates. Great stuff. I have diesel cruiser envy at the moment... :safari-rig: Cheers, P
