Nice shots MolongMick, that mud hole looks interesting o_O
He probably would have made it, except his diff was like the front end of a dozer and pushed up a heap of mud which stopped him. His recovery point was too far below the bar, they ended up pulling him out backwards. about 4inches of nice muddy water in the patrol.

Son of Bob hill climb, very steep and rough, the BT was the second to attempt but the first to make it. So no pickies of my rig.:ambivalence:

looks like a great weekend Mick
Nice to hear the BT was up to it!
Any more mods/additions in the pipeline or are you happy with the current set up?

Had the brush bars and side steps added about 2 months back, just trying to work out some storage ideas for the back tub. I will build it myself, just nutting out some ideas.

The BT is definitely up there with the other bigger 4by's, very capable.

Went for a drive on the tracks around Lithgow. Lost city and pipeline track.
The BT is a beast on the track, near unstoppable.

Ah Mate! I should have called you MolongMick. I was up there on Saturday too. Though i was on the other side of the valley in the Gardens Of Stone NP.

And yes the BT is great offroad. I got delayed behind a Land Rover group, and everyone had to get winched up a little rock ledge, it took forever. They kindly waited around to winch me up too, but rear diff lock in and a bit of right foot and i was up easy as. Should have seen their faces, priceless!

Here was our lunch spot overlooking the Wolgan Valley towards Newnes

The area is great for 4 wheel driving. The diff lock is unbelievable, pretty much allowed me to climb over anything.
There must have been a few landrovers in the area, we had some issues with one of them as well (the one in our group) had many problems climbing some of the tracks.
Will need to organise a day out. I will be doing Dingo Dell next week if you're interested.

Very interested, PM me some details if you don't mind.

I did the Dingo Dell area a few months back when i tracked from Wombeyan Caves to Jenolan Caves (the back way). Like you said the area i great for 4wd exploring.

Looks like a great 4wd weekend Mick.
I notice the muddy patrol has not made it into any of the later photos.
what happened to it?

He is still going, almost had a roll over, but came out okay. His car was very smelly by the end of the day.
