I never got a chance to test Subarino's faith, but you're set up is almost mine and you have the bonus of DR. Plus there's plenty of helpers to snatch you out if required

For me, i just paid the bill for fixing the front engine mounts but have noticed the engine still rocks when i punch the pedal, even lightly.. so i pointed this out to REPCO before i paid the bill and they're gonna have another look, on their own wallet this time thank goodness. if i get that done, plus my BFH efforts for the 14"s.. i will be VERY tempted to come along.

yer basically the same..im gonna get round to windin my suspension up like urs so ill get that extra 20mm..and ill be seeing about some 14s so im hoping by then they'll be in.
ya should come along neway we can be the two at the back of the pack lol

wt exactly will be needed on a 4x4 trip liek this??
extra fuel i would think and some food and water?? compressor probably but i dont have one yet (the one i want is 300 but i think ill settle for a 170 job)
i dotn own any snatch straps or nething like that so....
i have heard ppl off here carry spare parts like a control arm i think i read once..
and nethign else..i have never been no a actual trip b4

for lancelin all u'll need is maybe some water, a snatch strap if possible and a refreshments for yourself. u can get air for tyres at the servo and not much damage is usually caused in this kind of environment. there are some stories tho hehe


btw sounds like fun, i reckon ill come.

wt about a CB radio thingo (no entirely sure on teh name)
my mum has one but its in her pajero..not that it gets used nemore maybe i could try n get her to let me take it out and use it in my subi
although i dont no how easy it would be to remove or if shell actually let me lol..


and comeon guys there havent been anough to say theyll come yet

usually we just ave the hand held 2way radios

lol

if you use firefox it has a built in spell checker... so not only can you write a mess for school/uni assignments and have M$ Word fix it up... now you can forget how to spell completely on the net too... (as most seem to do...)

(lamenting the demise of the English language in these young lads...)

Refering to the radios.... 2-way refers to any radio with 2 way comunication (back and forth) to be exact what u need it a UHF CB (Citezen band). Don't be fooled into picking up am AM unit... these are MUCH cheaper but they are not what anyone uses anymore. UHF is the go. You can get in car ones but u will need a special antenna to suit.... these will cost a bit. Or you can do what most do.... get a little hand held UHF CB. These can be purchased for as low as $30 or less from places like straithfeild... etc etc.

I work for a CB radio/stereo/Audio Visial joint so i can help ya out if u want to get serious.

The air compressor.... DUDE... how often do u think your going to be using it to warrrent getting a $300 one... we have a few at work for about $120 and i have had one mounted in my engine bay for years.... works great and it is water proof.

I would definately get yourself a snatch strap... shackles and a shovel... although if your going in a group for the first time the most important things are.... spare wheel... shovel... and a CB radio. Oh and of course food and plenty to drink... or u could die.

As a note... i don't think i will be coming on this particular trip... i think i have seen all there is to see of Lancelin and Wedge.

tristan

depending on money and if im recovered ill be there. been hammered 10 nights in a row. contiki is MAD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ill keep you's informed

I do know of other places... but some of the places your mates will get lost if they drive off like they did last time and im not taking responsibility for them. Very easy to get lost without GPS and stuff.

Dave

ahhh ok dave mabye well ave 2 have a subi day then and ill make sure that the hilux driver doesnt come

but untill then im gonna stick with wedge all welcome to come

tristan

P.s ill be in the brumby (the lib is too unsafe for off road)

going back to the first post about NOR meet
is there even a Reomo Rd i wasnt gettin anything from searchin on net and road map.
the is a Romeo Rd but they are pretty far up so i wuld of thought thered be a meet like around the Wanneroo area.

yer i cant spell but thats just a rd that is on the way up n we used it last time so i figered y not use it again

yer thats no problems i no where it is basically (passed it yesterday on the way to Pippidinny) but wasnt the Caltex on the right side as wed be goin up?
maybe im jsut remembering another one.

when i first read the post i wasnt sure where it was so i was wondering why it would take so long to get from south to north meet points, but figured u would meet at like 730 but leave like 15 mins later

so how many are actually coming?
