Jeep Day in Harvey

The invitation was sent out so I went. Off to Harvey with the AusJeepOffRoad gang. Two Wrangler JKs (one diesel, and mine) and a bunch of modified Wrangler TJs. Fun stuff! Gerry came with me - and apart from getting whiplash bouncing over some ruts it was all good. ;-)

Gathering in Harvey.

First stop - top of Hitchhiker. We aired down and disconnected the appropriate linkages.

Then we were off. Kind of scary watching other people go down. Lots of scraping from my car - I really need a 2 inch lift or so to get the belly off the ground. But the bash plates did their job.

And then we were up the next hill.

This one was a little more difficult. Dave, Fud and Ken had a go. Fud has some issues with wheel placement and needed a hand. But then the track was headed the wrong way so they came back down.

At the end of the day we aired up in Harvey before heading back.
