Newcastle Upon-Tyne

Sorry for the lack of replys, been busy this last week!

Sounds great, looking forward to it men!

I know a place you can test its abilities, but you would at least need muds.

PMs sent regarding meeting place for this Saturday. One free place is still available as one of the Pajero boys has gearbox problems and will be riding with me, any takers?

Ian

massive thanks to Hastiekid and Turbo ... great morning out

met up with Hastiekid



and Turbo




it started to snow a bit more .......












I got stuck totally grounded, but was pulled out by Turbo ...





and Hastiekid got stuck too



thanks to Turbo for saving us all

So sorry i missed this day, totally gutted! I got to about 3 minutes away from the bluebell inn and a freakin road block appeared!
I had to drive for around 20mins the long way and missed you guys, like i said before freakin gutted
I ended up driving to hamsterly forrest along some decent snowy roads so it wasnt all wasted :/

must have missed you by seconds
waited till 09.30
as I said, I had a brill day crashing about
but don't think it was so good for the experienced guys as you couldn't see any tracks/ruts because of the snow and had we continued it would have been a digging and snatching day
see you nest time I'm sure

Sorry we deserted you Bud, I stupidly didn’t exchange contact numbers with you . We assumed you had abandoned the day due to snow. To be honest we nearly did as past experience has shown digging yourself out of the snow is no fun.
Great to meet you Hal and great photos Mate. Sorry we had to cut the day short, but It would have just got dangerous if we had continues onto more challenging lanes. I’m hoping you had enough of a taster to want to come out with us in the future as we usually have a great day and we would love you to become part of the local gang Mate.

Ian

Thanks Ian, loved it ....
let me know when you're gonna be playing out

I deffo want to pop along to the next one.

It looked like a really great day, totally gutted i missed out!
With all the snow it was a great chance to take some decent pictures like you guys had!
The white Jimny looks ace, what specific modifcations have been done?

Well if another trip is organised count me in for sure! I will make sure i set off 30mins early and know the specific route to take this time!

Cheers

The White one is my Jimnybob, 61 plate and Green laned from new.

At the moment it has,,,,,,

Safari snorkel
Recip Mud Ts on seven inch Modulars
Rough country steering damper
Bits 4 Vits one and a half inch lift
Rock sliders
Front and back Dif guards
Transfer box guard
Fuel tank guard
Shocker mount guards front and back
Radious arm mount guards


Im in the middle of getting all the bits together to do a three inch lift. I am waiting for a set of custom built, three inch over, adjustable AVO shocks to arrive. They will be few weeks yet but I want to put the kit together myself with selected quality parts.

Ian

I live just up the road from you... you are keen taking a 61 plate offroad, or you have too much money ha ha!
