Great stuff, made even better that we done it all a few days later. And it was great to catch up with a few My Swagers at Lake Placid CP.

Well done guys, it's amazing to see the changes in the crossings since '07.

Hopefully easy questions for those who went or know.

Who was in the silver Pajero with the Lifestyle CT?

And who had the MN Triton, with what looked like factory H/T tyres?

Just interested.. I have a few Q's for them on their setups and how they went.. Might affect how much we plunge into out Triton and Lifestyle CT for similar trips down the track.

(thanks!)

Great report! Im pretty sure i spotted JK's rig heading north as we were heading south. Did anyone notice if there was a CMYC sticker on the back of the tip sign?

scoot · « **Reply #42 on:** August 09, 2011, 06:05:08 AM »

The Triton has Maxxis AT tyres.

Good stuff.
Thanks for sharing.
Looks many of the creek crossings have deteriorated a lot since 06 and 09.

scoot · « **Reply #45 on:** August 15, 2011, 05:46:29 PM »

Great report Mark.

Scoot

McGirr · « **Reply #46 on:** August 15, 2011, 07:22:05 PM »

Scoot how did you go with the insurance on the triton !!!

Mark

barraboy · « **Reply #47 on:** August 16, 2011, 12:27:27 PM »

Well done on the trip report Mark. Thanks for the special mention on my tyres and as you know the reason for no flats was the great skill and dexterity exercised by the driver. Good stuff!

scoot · « **Reply #48 on:** August 16, 2011, 08:34:16 PM »

Chassis was bent back into place. Lifetime warranty on repair, so can't complain.

Scoot

McGirr · « **Reply #49 on:** August 29, 2011, 09:12:54 PM »

Just a clarification to the report that BJF was the first car and camper that crossed nolans brook un aided using his skills and 4WD expertise that was unbeleivable to watch !!!

We won't mention that he was the only car and camper that drove straight into the mud not more than 30 minutes later using those same incredible 4WD skills !!! Lmao
