Nearly done with this gearbox and i want a trip to test it out At this stage i am thinking of a weekend trip to Mt Cole, 26th-27 November. Feel free to come along for either day. I will probably be camping out on the Friday night as well.

Could change the location to the Cobaw if that suits anyone better.

Mt Cole is about 2.5 hours from Melbourne, depending on what side you're coming from.

Yep I'm in...cant wait to see the low range, locking centre diff, geared LSD front & clutch LSD rear in action

Perhaps if its dry we can bring some jerry cans filled with water & spray the tracks haha

Please feel free to suggest another date if the 26/27th doesn't suit you.

How about during the week? I work every weekend atm

During the week is fine for me but may rule some others out.

How bout both!
We could get there Thur nite or even Weds nite...

I'm hoping to be there. Just need to find some funds, clean out Ruby Scoo and I should be apples.

Really looking forward to it with the liberty's low range

Cheers

bum er. missed the Lerdi trip and this one i'll be on the last day of a nine day trip from Canberra, NSW cost, Vic coast.

Keep'em coming!

Ok well how about wed night - sun or fri-night to tuesday? either suits me.

Love to come but have to work.

Dam work, don't like to miss two in a row.

Maybe next time, I want to see the h6 lib in action.

Bugger mate! I'm stretching things just to see this dual range H6, and to see Mt Cole for some 4wd'n rather just a recovery mission

Rhys, can you upload a map with the meet point on friday night? If all goes well I might rock up early as I'm not really doing much so would prefer to be lounging around out camping for the arvo than sitting on the couch/cutting grass...

Cheers

Camp spot for Friday will be Mugwamp. If Mugwamp is occupied when we get there then the backup with be Ditchfields. Bennie if you want to swing by my place when you like on Fri and we can both convoy from there. Same for anyone else who wants to come along a bit earlier.

Map and park notes: http://www.dse.vic.gov.au/__data/assets ... Forest.pdf

Been to Mugwamps a half dozen times, never remember how to get back. Generally i take Main Mt Cole Road to Ditchfields campground, drive through Ditchfields and cruise around untill i end up at Mugwamp.

If anyone gets lost trying to find Mugwamps then sit tight at one of the campgrounds (they're all singposted), radio us and we will come to you

UHF will be channel 10.

If we get there early enough Friday then we can do some recce's for places to get stuck on Sat/Sun.

Best place to fuel up is the BP at Beaufort.

Oh and three words to entice anyone whos thinking about coming along, "Hell Hole Track"

I'll be there early fri so we can test out your cars recovery ability

Will there be much deep water? I still have to put in breather tubes & a fan switch...Hell Hole Track sounds fun lol

No water crossings. There maybe be some bog holes, but to be honest i've never come accross one out there. So to answer your question about deep water, basically i have no idea.

Well how about 12ish in Ballarat on Fri? The earlier the better i reckon'

If I make it it'll be for friday only and as a late inclusion, will let you know closer to the day

Unfortunatelly I won't make it this time... Have a great time and play it safe!

Cheers,
Pedro.

Ruby Scoo will be a no show It'll be a sad day when she misses her first forum organised 4wd trip...

If it's all good with you Rhys I'd like to ride shot gun with you. And no, Ruby Scoo's not getting left behind cos a H6 has low range

Looking forward to it.

Cheers
