Happy
easter to everyone, especially Voxson, from the
forum here, who took some time out of his day today to meet up with myself, Littleborgy, Luke S.A and our family's at
Morgan to show us some great 4wd tracks around the place ...we started off with some reasonably tame stuff and after a hour or so stopped and had some lunch along side a huge
hill with some fairly deep holes at the start of it...while sitting there eating lunch we all were thinking of ways to tackle this
hill (
well all us Borgy's were anyway) Grant had been here b4 so he knew all about it ..lol..anyway after lunch Luke decided he was going to tackle it first , Grant bet him that he wouldnt get up there ..lol...Luke takes his first run and after lifting wheels and spraying heaps of dust everywhere decides he needs a different approach, so he lets his tyres down a bit and tackles it again , this time he succeeds..lol...that cost Grant a whole dollar...cheapskate Grant...hahaha.....next littleborgy in the Pajero ...we thinks yeah right ..lol...
well i was totally awestruck it took him a couple of goes with his tyres down , but this thing made it look fairly easy ....next my turn , i couldnt be stuffed letting tyres down so had a go without , took me two goes , but i got there.......Grant was next , mate that Patrol of his with the difflocks and Cooper stt's just crawled up there , i reckon he would have preffered to do it the hard way though ...lol...more fun hey Grant??...lol.....Tomorrow i'll try and load a few pics of our 4by's with wheels in the air .......Once again thanks heaps Grant we had an excellent day and it was good to put a face to a name also.........Cheers ......Dave

You actually got the orders mixed up a bit there dad... Grant actually went up before me (after Luke), but he did make it look easy with the difflocks...
I must say, the Pajero even shocked me at how
well it went up there (i think Luke was too, coz he was giving me poo about it all day haha) but i think it definately needs a lift kit in it. lol
Again, thanks very much Grant for a fantastic day out... it sure beat staying at
home sitting around doing stuff all
Cheers, Brad

Yea your right there it was an excelent day out of driving and would like to go back there one day to have another look around to see if there was anywhere we might have missed this time.
Im still trying to get over how easy Grants (Voxon) Patrol crawled up that
hill with such ease. The diff locks and
suspension just worked
well together.
Littleborgys Paj was somthing to see going up some of those hills, suprised me a bit even though it took a couple of shots to do an easy bit of sand driving lol but that was a bit of driver error.
All up was a good days driving, bent a few alloy side steps, (thats all part of it hey) and got to meet someone new and put a face to a name.
Cheers Luke

I have put a few pics in my rig page of that day and have burnt a disk that you can have if you like. As there are alot of pics to email I think, so would prolly be better to maybe meet up and give it to you or send via post with those
Cape York DVD's of the ol' mans.
Not sure if you got us mixed up there Grant (not hard to do lol) but it is Brad that has the Paj.
We had a bit of a look around for about half hour or so and managed to find our way back to that
hill again and Brad (littleborgy) couldnt help himself and cruised back up there so we all did lol.
Would be good to meet up and go on a few more trips as it was an excelent day out and we all had a blast, and am thinking of going up there again one day to explore the place a bit more.
After seeing it was just off the highway it makes me wonder how many other
places there are like that.
Cheers Luke
