Don't know any details of placings....but Pete and Sharpy (Team Hoon) have won the 2010 Outback Challenge.
Presentations will be held in Broken Hill tonight as rain came and forced a retreat from the property with the possibility of closed roads tomorrow.
Still awaiting final scores.....

The Melb 4x4 show was dead in the water last year........... any one who stayed away this year has missed out big time on the best show ever....
The combined 4x4, Fishing, Outdoors, Boating show is a credit to the organizers and is an outstanding success.

Speedy wheels do a neg28 16x8, but it is reverse offset (that is the centre is welded in backwards to gain the neg28). These wheels can not be beadlocked, but are ok for general use.

get some spare cv's to go with the locker Mate of mine has one in the front of his Lux and has broken more CV's than he cares to remeber including strengthened/treated ones. Problem being that you can't "turn it off". Get an air-locker for the front.......you'll spend that much extra anyway when ...

Pete, Just pay the money and ship your car over!!! We went back in 2000 and was well worth the money spent. Wish i had the time to head back over.

allegedly, when the 37 bias claw came out, they sized them at about 35.9 or something. One suggestion was that this was deliberate, so that jeep owners with 35's wouldn't have too much work to do to "run 37's" All sorts of marketing decisions get made behind closed doors. This sounds like an urban ...

and really, who cares? do you measure your pencil from the top or the bottom? If your tyres aren't rubbing, they're too small - nothing else is important. Steve. AHAH, I love it. If the weight of the vehicle is on the tires then measure on a horizontal plane, not vertical. I'd be pissed if my 54 ...
