Build Silver Bullet - BJ74 Tough Offroad all rounder buildup

[Hulsty]

Sure is! did 1100km over the Queens Birthday Long weekend. Roughly what we did was Dargo friday night and camped behind the pub, saturday towards Swifts creek via various scenic/hard tracks. Sunday got into Swifts creek due to breakdowns, hooked it up to Tom Groggin (spectacular campground), Monday hooked it over Mt Pinnibar and Mt Gibbo, into Omeo and home!! Was a long trip be heaps of great scenery and a few pretty hard tracks, have to go back and do the ones we missed.

wow those light bars actually work pretty well ey?

loving the trip photos as usual mate!

 

[Hulsty]

Yeah the lightbars work awesome once your out bush, great spread and enough distance in the tight stuff. Not that great if it is raining hard or snowing hard, lights up all the drops and you cant see (mine is on the roof). And since they dont get hot they ice up, had to stop a few times to clear snow from the lens as it wouldnt melt away like a halogen.

I hope everyone loves a snow trip and a heap of pics!! Down here in Australia last week we had the heaviest snowfalls in something like 10 years, too good an opportunity to let go by so we headed off again for a overnight trip!

Thanks for sharing. Looks like fun times!

Whats with the hanging of those cats? What kind of cats are they? Or are they dingos? Is it done to warn other travelers coming through to watch out for them?

 

[Hulsty]

Wild dogs and wild cats, not sure why they hang them in high visibility places at a guess to make you aware of the problem.

 

[Oldtoy74]

Another reason is the smell of carccus will attract other cats and dogs, so they try to position them in high visibility places so if the locals see them they will shoot more of them, and plus who wants to take these smelly pests back to their own property

great photos thanks for sharing! what altitude was the snow down to?

 

[maat]

bit off topic but how does your mates 4.8 patrol go? Is it as thirsty as people make them out to be?

 

[Hulsty]

It goes pretty good, 5spd auto, offroad its a fair weapon, onroad not to bad, but I can hang with it on steep road climbs, I thought it would pull away.

Its VERY thirsty, in one area, I used 60L to his 95L for the same drive.


Snow was down to about 1200m
