I actually did air-down after i attempted jeremy's slippery hill and that treacherous corner where I nearly slid off - that surely helped though...

Whey this looked like it was a real bess run boy.
I kinda fraid I make a fool of myself

How novice friendly is this lighthammer?

umm... it'll take some help for novices to get through, but it's driveable.

We'll be along the way to guide and help, you just need to go strong and be confident.
We learned a lot from the trailblazer off-roaders, they gave us loads of tips.

Because of them, esp. the bearded guy, i was able to get down a very slippery hill while another Navara and a Hilux went crashing into a ditch to the side of that hill.


And don't worry about making a fool of yourself man - when my Navara was only 3-weeks old (hadn't even made the first payment yet!1) I took it off-roading in Blanchisseuse on highway tyres... and got stuck in a VERY EPIC way. Suffice it to say I was scared sh!tless that i wouldn't be able to get out (though it wasn't a very hard stuck-point, now that I look back in retrospect) but thank goodness for the other guys who helped out.

If you wanna come on a run with us, you just hadda be prepared (i.e. working vehicle with good all terrain tyres,4x4 optional most of the time) and have an open mind, plus be ready for adventure!! But don't worry though, we won't pressure you into something you're not comfortable doing, nor would we push you beyond your comfort level. After all, most of our vehicles are stock-level, we're not professionals like the TrailBlazers or TTORC.
We have no shame in turning back - in fact most of our runs have been so hard we had to turn back more than a few times!! (but we had sh!tloads of fun doing it though )

Check this site out that i cam across http://www.4wd1.com/index.html

Thanks fellas. Next run I coming through. After watching all those pics, the manliness factor is too much to pass up.

^ what truck you driving? and what tyres do you have?

I have a 2.5T Hilux on some Kumho Road Ventures

the only drawback to these rallies is, if you get the last number chances are you ae screwed, cause all the other vehicles have used up the surface and left the slush for you to pass through! last yr was the same for me, #54 i believe and this yr was #42.

^^I pull # 1 !!!

5 mins after we left the starting line, we promptly got lost.

I started to worry after I saw vehicle 15 pass us and we still trying to figure out the map, lol!

the starting of the map real confusing - i got lost myself - they were supposed to have the roundabout on the map but they didnt add it. only after we met the marshal we know where to go.

i was 21, in the begining we did well, and were some of the first through the forest once we got past mr 2wd vitara. But after leaveing the speaical sand stage we got stuck behind Mr 2wd again and he basically destroyed that steep incline. then after that we got lost...........badly, the map was not helping at all so after a re group with another vehicle and a cold stag, we opted to head down the highway and in doing so we were on of the last straglers.
The entire trip was excellent, the forest was the best, the ranger and Maxxis handled it all with ease only thing i would of done different is not drink the night before and show up earlier.
was badly hung over until 2pm which didnot help at all

JD - your ranger look real orn dread - i should of stuck behind you when you entered the forest. When we reached the forest - we had about 15 vehicles in front of me and most of them got stuck - so i was in traffic for more than 3-4 hours in there.

good pics, fellas.

Didn't participate. Waiting for the next one later in the year

if u have room and can overtake stuck vehicles, do it, it will help out a lot, what most ppl don't know about a rally is the "SPEED LIMIT"
it was 12kmph,
which is almost undo able, but keeping in close proximity of that would help a lot too, most paved surfaces i was doing bout 25-30kmph, and then the nav would say slow up, u speeding.....

ah never hear dat oxymoron before na....

lol!!

in the forest area there wasn't anywhere you can overtake people - and you cant backup cause there is plenty of vehicles behind you - If the marshal was there and tell people to divert away from the forest - all the traffic could of been avoided.
In front of me there was the Discovery that bottom out every few feet which is really frustrating, and in front of the Disco was the Pardo that the guy scared to drive.

But after all the hours of waiting and then finally get to go thro the hills - it was all worth the wait....god that was so much fun!!

that's what u have to put up with in a rally, every few meters we went up mr.2wd vitara was sticking, and then he get a padna, mr.l200, so we would roll up and stop every so often...

but i agree 100%, was pure fun, wished there was more muddy areas to slash tru.....

From our end, those two navara's in front (mckenzie's and the gold nav) kept falling off the trail, which held up a lot of the guys in the rear.

That burgundy K74T L200 kept getting hung up on his diff as well, and that added a next half hour in traffic.

I cant remember - i know there was a sportero, and there was a K74T.

The two navara's real wukk, but at a price.... wonder if that fella fix his transmission yet.

I more for off-roading yes, speed is secondary.
