I had a bit of fun this morning in the work ute (Falcon).

I had to do an inspection up in the hills for a house that was being relocated there. I mentioned that it looked like I would need a 4WD to get there but from all assurances from the clowns I work with, was that I would get there.

Well I got close :))

The ute was lacking alot of ground clearance as well as decent tyres :)
I ended up hung up on a rock ledge that required the trainee to jump in the back of the ute to give a bit of weight to the rear axle to get us off. I ended up having to reverse down the goat track and figure out how else to get there.

We ended up having to do a 60km diversion around the said hill and go through a few adjacent private properties to get there.

I would love to see how they are going to get a 3 bedroom house on the back of a truck up there tomorrow. They have a 20T excavator on standby to drag the truck up, I think they are going to need it.

I am now going to go back that way with Darkie this afternoon and take some pics which I'll add to my rig pics.

Cheers Kev
