Another great day with an eventful night run.
It was good to have three visitors with us for the toolbox day and night run. Welcome Ryan, Dave and Torrens. James replaced his rear axle and pinion seals with the help of Greeno and Valpacer. While everyone got their fire extinguishers , thanks Valpacer for those.
We all piled into our Jeeps with some of the new guys leaving their trucks behind and jumping in for the ride. We headed of to Glass House Mountains and all drove Shaley Hill, Ryan did real well in his JK.
Off to the power line track and down the canyon at the northern end we all went. First stop the other side was to winch out a big branch that wedged in Al's suspension. A bit of light rain started but nothing to stop the trip.
Off to little red where all but Ryan drove through and on to Big Red. Ryan drove round to meet us at Big Red. Magoo drove Big Red but the hill claimed another victim when James front diff failed and locked a at the bottom of the hill. This was the start of an all night recovery to winch James XJ up Big Red. Going back down was deemed too dangerous in the disabled XJ. The clubs new recovery gear got broken in and the team spirit of our club kicked in and everyone helped the recovery, which took untill 3am.
A great trip and proof of what our club is, mates helping mates
Cheers James
