| THE GREEN STICKER MONSTER MY TJ WRANGLER VIDEOS May 2005 - Toolangi |
This was lots of fun. Steve, Boyd and myself wandering through Toolangi to find some B-Grade tracks for
the Jamboree later this year. The beginning was quite boring, no difficult tracks. Until we got to s spot with
a step downhill section to the side of the track. Boyd tried it and had to stop because a Hilux came around
the corner and had to winch himself up. Turning was no option, reverse did not work, so we had to winch
him up the hill. My TJ parked against a tree with the bull-bar (see video). Victoria Range track was no
good, the first big bog hole was too much for our vehicles. AT the end we entered Blowhard Range Track
(Downhill) and it turned out as the famous 4.00 pm track. Downhill, mud and brakes do not work together. I
did learn a lot this afternoon and was always on the radio, saying "MOVE, MOVE, I AM SLIDING
DOWNHILL !!!" At the end it was dark, I had to be snatched 3 times and that part of the trip was no fun.
This trip was one of the main reason for future modifications to the vehicle. Click on the video to see the
winch in action.
Pictures are also available (click on the animation).

| Needed to rescue Boyd from a steep side track. A Hilux blocked his way and reverse back uphill did not work. The tree worked well together with the winch and a 20 m extension strap. We got him back up. 320 x 240 12 sec. 0.52MB |
