Out playing on the weekend at Ault Beac track N.E.
Melbourne
and managed to collect a big stick thru bumper, whilst on an excursion around a downed tree.
Collecting sticks is far from uncommon but if you look at the picture in the members page you can see that we were lucky once again.
This one is about 45mm round and must have gone thru bumper
opening and glanced off the winch and its other end came to rest
right on the radiator fins and unbelievably did no damage.
Normally it would have piecered the Patrols 2nd electric fan first
but this is one of those items I deemed unecessary and removed to save weight.
We even drove about 2km up this rocky track with both difflocks engaged before we stopped and noticed the protruding branch.
