4x4 action shots/boggings

[DaneCross]

With the introduction of the new section, I thought it might be good to see a few pics of everyones failures/triumphs over the sometimes unforgiving off-road terrian.

Thought I'd go through a few OLD pics and pulled out these two of our old Nissan 720. The old girl did some miles but had bugger-all clearance and we often found ourselves ploughing a nice track for the following cars with the brush bar. It also had a disliking to any gear box we'd try and put in her - spitting at least 4 ::) Our hilux on the other hand... will she ever stop [smiley=2thumbsup.gif] ;D

The first pic was taken after attemping to drive along what seemed to be a nice firm beach on the western side of Frazer around the Wathumba area. Turned out to be a bogg of stinky green weed covered by sand. Needless to say the Nissan sank rather quickly up to the floor boards.

The second pic, not really off-road but a bit of a laugh, was when we claimed poll position at bathurst... :P

Lets see some action shots...

P.S. Mums taken the old fashioned 'crop tool' (scissors) to the pics, hence the overlapping of the pics.

[basserman]

bugger no matter how hard i try i just can't get the hilux bogged ;)

[landy1]

Thats cause youve got to take it off road ;D ::) :D :-X

[neptune]

Don't take the hilux over too much rough stuff, with the light chassis and toy suspension it might break in half.

[stevo]

try this one

[stevo]

Getting of wisdom

[sharkbait]

got plenty dane, will try and get them scanned at work in the next couple of days for your viewing pleasure ;D

[Barrymundi]

2 tides went over this car, new batery and oil and she drove away.

Not my car, just found it in a creek at Mapoon

[landy1]

Maybe he had to surface to use his radio ;D

[Gorilla_in_Manila]

Al_NFI,
Just curious, how did he drop the old oil out?
Cheers
Jeff

[NQCairns]

Is that a dog in the back corner of the tray?

[mossy43]

I think they are just waiting around for low tide so they can put the boat back on the trailer. Mossy

[Barrymundi]

No Dog in the Tray. The boat in the picture is a mate of mine and his wife. The owners of the car were not around. They were travelling along the beach - creek at low tide and were bogged. We were told by some other campers they pulled her out the next morning.
Oil - I could only assume they put it in a drum and took it to the local waste disposal station with the diesel and the dead battery. ;D

[Brett_Hoskin]

Washing the dirt from under the car and trailer.

[Kerry]

A dozer ;D should be a standard accessory for ALL Toyota's.

Cheers, Kerry.

[Kerry]

The first time accross wasn't much different either, just that after this we actually made a "road" to get stuck in.
http://www.cqnet.com.au/~user/mattk/images\toyota-stuck.jpg
This was just before the winch sheer pin broke and only being a 2 day old vehicle #:o, didn't have a spare. After this it got sort of ugly and this river (yes it is actually a river) doesn't have a lot of bottom to it.

Must have filed down about 3 dozen nails (to use as sheer pins) until one fnally held enough. Mind you once the fan starts to thrash water power take-off winches are a useless heap of sh.. but then power take-off winches are useless anyway, aren't they :-X

Cheers, Kerry.

[Big_Kev]

Jesus Kerry I think the D6 would have struggled getting through that one.
Cheers Kev. ;D

[DaneCross]

Tell the truth Kerry, the Toyotas actually towing the dozer! ;) ;D

[Dirtysanchez]

Hi Guys

This pic came to me by email with a comment "is this your 4wd?"

Answer is no it is not mine and I reckon the picturue is fake

What do you experts reckon ?

Russ

[theVan]

me playing chicken with Eli creek.....

the same creek with the Hilux buried.....

That creek has eaten many a 4x4....

[borisdog]

Where's Eli Ck? I ask cos that photo is a bit of a debate topic on another forum I 'm in and no-one knows where the photo's taken. General concensus is photo is genuine.

[whykickacatalong]

Bugger me getting a pic on here can be hard :( Will just put links for now

[whykickacatalong]

The new Hiolux's dont have much clearance ;)

[TonyM]

lmao - This post was made for you Alistair! ;D

I reckon you did that intentionally to save jacking the wheel up to change the spare (would be less embarrassing than saying you were just doing a U-turn) :D

[whykickacatalong]

Thanks. That happened out the back of hicksville where very little traffic comes along. Typical though just as we were hooking it up to reverse it out the local bus full of school kids turned up to be let off at the corner :-[. Luckily I did not have my door magnets on the car so they probably just though I was a stupid cop (I was not going to correct them on that assumption ;D)

This is up a Bass river. So many places a 4wd can get you, who would own a 2wd??

[BenDover]

My 4bie... Dont do much hardcore 4x4ing anymore. Just use it for fraser.

[BenDover]

But its been everywhere and done everything, and ive broken everything aswell ;D ;D yes even rolled it. Now it just tows my boat.

[candogu]

Opp's just a bit deeper then I thought :D
