We got back from Fraser Island on the weekend and rather than give you a long and boring run down on what went on I decided on taking the easy way out with a stack of pics.

Yidney Rocks

Orchid Beach

Eastern side of Waddy point

Maheno shipwreck

Cathedral Beach

Lake Allom

Eli Creek

The plane we flew around on. Takes off from the beach.

Maheno from ground level.

Waddy point looking west towards the boaties from the comp.

Waddy point looking south. Excellent fishing here.

Worming for bait.

Lake Wabby. Deepest lake on the island.

Lake McKenzie. Most populated lake by backpackers any where.

Flathead "lies" below Kingfisher resort jetty.

Differing track conditions en-route to Urang creek. (Calm side)

Upper reaches of Urang creek. We fed a Jungle perch below the bridge.

Eric's "Shortcut"

Not night time but middle of the day in the rainforest.

Pair of Dingoes that hung around our camp.

One of the many Tailor.

Toyota unveiled a proto-type Hybrid car up there. One of only 6 world wide.

3 out of the 4 barges that were running between Inskip and Fraser.

Home time. The line up for the barge was about 2k's long.

White Liberty
Suspension:
3" BYB kit
Outback struts
Lift king springs
15x7 alloys
29 x 9.5/15 muddies.

Drive train:
2.5 Aus delivered block. Modded with the block being closed deck, diesel liners, Arias forgies, Ver.3 STi heads, cams, inlet, Microtech LT8s ECU. Then TD04, soon to be VF22.
4.111 JDM box (now broken 1st and 2nd)
LSD
3" mandrel

Dual batteries
UHF/GPS
other bits and pieces.

Brown Liberty

Suspension:
3" BYB kit
Outback struts
Lift king springs
15x7 alloys
Not sure on tyres then.

Drive train:
2.0 JDM RS turbo engine, Voss chip
4.111 JDM box (now broken 1st and 2nd)
LSD
3" mandrel

Dual batteries

Both cars are pretty similar in specs. Just the body shape that is the big difference. It is a bloody good set up for any one contemplating building one. They go any where you point them, are reasonably quick and a whole lotta fun to drive.

hey brett, i currently have a gen 1 liberty wagon, it has been converted to EJ20T, TD05h, JDM 4.11 v2 sti gearbox,

i miss going offroad in my liberty, you say that your cars run jdm 4.11 ratio boxes, how do you find them offroad without low range? do you simply slip the clutch ?

i really want to set it up for offroading, am just undure how it will go without low range.

vincentvega · Post by **vincentvega** » Fri Sep 29, 2006 1:20 pm

just do it naif

dont go crazy on tyre size and your gearing will be fine. You have to hit things a little quicker than everyone else to keep the revs up, but thats half the fun

Naif · Post by **Naif** » Fri Sep 29, 2006 1:25 pm

would it be possible, to transfer my wrx gearset into a duelrange case? and use the 4.111 final drive.

vincentvega · Post by **vincentvega** » Fri Sep 29, 2006 4:09 pm

it would be possible to drop a 4.11 crown into a dual range case, you would leave the gearset as is though.

while your there you would fit a L series 1.5 low range

problem is your now back to a cable clutch, which will slip and a weaker gearset that will probably break

seriously if your keen on lifting - lift now and sort your gearbox out later if you find you need to. Brett has been running a single range box for ages now
