heres my pix from the day.
Lancelin Dunes -me

the wrong way to get to wedge. matatak got bogged just where that quad is too. further than the lux hehe

after getting a little sideways and a bit too fast tristan (90brumby)goes sideways into the dirt kerb/tree.

note the clearance to the guard

bent control arm, sway bar and radius rod

Subi's at wedge

Nice trip thanks for posting the photos guys. I was sorry to miss out, I really need some time to put the wagon back together!

Serves the Hilux drive right. Carrying people in a tray without seatbelts is just plain stupid, it's incredibly dangerous. Family friends' son got killed doing that.

Thanks for the shots subi, looks like everyone had a great trip, even with a few mechanical bruises involved.

Matatak - every time i look at your car I see my own, even though they're slightly different models

looks great in the sand, good to see the unlifted suby did ok, though I'm sure the DR helped (i'm only SR).

looking forward to getting my car back

starting to miss it.

haha yer wuld lvoe to see ur car..im sure its in a bit better nick than mine but hopefully next tiem theres a wedge trip

the Low Range was used mainly when most of the bigger 4WDs wanted to take the beach route back but ud do fine everywhere else i went without it i reckon

beign unlfited is ok if u dont mind cringing evrytime it scrapes over the rocks and then there was the gettin air part on the dunes at lancelin lol
but i was more worried bout my FR tyre as it started scraping at the top when i hit a bump and suked as it was pretty frequent lol

also i dont no if it was mentioned but one of Subis Gbox crossmember bolts ratled off jsut as we left lancelin 4x4 area and luckily i was behind him and noticed it drop so i went back for it then he got it back in and no more problems from that.

nah not from what i've seen of the photos..

spent a few totally lost hours yesterday on ebay and other random places, there's a beautiful white lib in qld that i really want but the missus doesn't like automatics. i tend to agree... shame though.

my suby will just have to do the job for another good while.

lucky for that bloke you had your eyes peeled

yes i am very thankful that matty had his eyes peeled, because i didnt notice any clunks or rattles at all and i would of had to turn around if he didnt pick it up.

Looks like you guys had fun... i would be interested in going back in the summer months so there would be more to do there. So we will arrange another trip then.
