time to hit the road!
hi all,
some of you know that we have been planning a decent trip for a fair while now ... well the time has just about come to hit the road! :D:D expect to depart Monday or Tuesday next week.... I'll through up the odd post here and there (hopefully with me holding a 1.2m pig of a barra) just to stay in touch. for those who may be interested we will be updating our blog as we go. http://ouroutbackadventure.wordpress.com/ expect it to be updated infrequently with crap photos and bad spelling ... but should be worth a laugh! see you in 12 weeks! |
Have a ball Brad.
|
Safe travels, watch your temperatures ;):D and I hope you only catch a 1.1m barra.

brand spankers hi performance alloy rad should fix that problem .... if not there will be a patrol going cheap! |
I'll be keeping an eye on your blog. I plan on doing a similar trip with my long service next year for the runoff. I'll be in a GU patrol too, they are a trusty chariot.
Good luck and may you land many meterys |
Nice one Brad hope you have a ball and come across many meter plus barra will be keeping an eye on your blog

If stubbies are $6.50 each, how much is a new tyre for the Patrol :eek: Safe trails, more pics.... |
Looks good, sucks to shred a tyre so early. Do you drop some air out of your tyres for the gravel?

i didnt drop them on the first leg. had a heap of differing advice on pressures ranging from 25 to 55 psi. so i stuck with my normal road pressures as it was not soft at all really. that failed. so i dropped them back - i made sure they were 40 hot (another bonus of the 4.8 is i need to stop every 2 hours to tip in another jerry so plenty of chances to check the pressures :rolleyes:) got though ok after that. funnily enough the fellas who told me 55 psi blew a tyre and the ones who told me 25 also blew a tyre. so thats a cooper a bfg and a michilen all at differnet pressures all blowing on the same trip .... luck of the draw i think..... who knows |
Loving the read mate safe travels and cant wait to see more of the adventure...:cool:
Stevo P.S As for tyres I always drop 20% highway tyre pressure on the hard gravel roads down south. |
