Hey there Fella's!

Been a while since ive posted, lots of personal issues and broken bits keeping me down for a bit. However! Managed to get the Megladon out to Landcruiser Park for the Murchison Products 'Independents Day' run.

Some pics from the day!

Hey Dave good to hear from ya!! Hows the rig been holding up?

Not too bad, destroyed the rear diff in March (turned the pumpkin 45deg up on the axle tubes!), now running a set of hemi diffs with 3.73 gears, much better, but still sorting computer issues. Apart from that we are about to finally get moving on the 4 link LA rear setup. Finally!

Did do some damage on this trip though, drove the old hilux hill, which hasnt been driven by anyone except comp trucks and Stu's LA JKU on 35's. Have a look at the pics :D

Holy crap. Exactly what type of load caused that?? Slide hard into the side?

The track in the first pic is actually one of the comp sytle tracks at the park, and though the photo doesnt show it, is almost 45deg up hill and more in places :D

Had to bounce it off the left slider to pop up one of the step ups just before that pic. Got through though. The only other vehicles to get up there were comp trucks that weekend :D

Awesome to hear the new GCs did well. Being they are now all independent was curious to see how they performed off road.. What type of aftermarket products are available down there for them things???
