Outer Limits 4x4 Board

First time we have been to Tuff Truck. Kids loved it, was well organised and loads of action. Every event has different levels of skilled drivers. Its great to see the ones who really know what they are doing and make a course look easy and of course its fun seeing the ones who don't and stuff it up ...

Thanks Stirlo for a excellent weekend. They were the best technical stages I have ever raced in, also a great bunch of competitors, top event we had a ball. Cheers Mike and Samantha (my 15 year old daughter/navi was rapt in getting 5th place)

Can you mid mount your winch?

All sounds good so far. On the GPS stages, I think you should give them a miss. Purchasing a GPS unit is a cost that is not needed, stick to 4wding and winching, keep it simple like your trying to keep the whole event.

I agree with acebryan, family wagons are out every weekend at 4wd parks etc 4wding, winching all types of terrian without cages as like most of them dont want to start hacking their vehicle for the odd event. I think a lot of courses could be set up to stop speed and have no risk winch pulls like ...

Thats what I call a fun weekend. Rocky is one of the best places to hold a event, you can't beat driving 5 minutes to get back to town and staying in decent accomidation, also the crowds were great.
Luck wasn't going Clayton's racings way with Spoony breaking a axle (not a tailshaft) so he also had ...

Well done Pete and Jane, excellent result.

Well at last Sheety and Rob got to kick our arse, well done guys. Luck wasnt totally going our way on the weekend, but still got two stage wins and fourth place. Thanks to Stirlo for filling in at the last minute, as my Navi broke his knee on a trail bike just b4 the event (I told Ross to stick to ...

Dave, is there actually going to be driving in this event for longer than a few hundred metres. I am very sure (first hand information from some big names) that a lot of people would be more interested if you had some longer stages where we actually got to drive our cars for more than 3 minutes ...

Congratulations to the Clayton's racing team for there top ten finish especially the little hilux. What an effort.

Agreed have they defrosted yet??

Congratulations to all competitors

Thanks guys, it was good to play in some mud for a change. Yep we have defrosted, though it was ...

Lets see for how long.
Lets see how long till you are breaking and bending stuff because of them.
Lets here you say that in 1 or 2 years time.

I have been running leafs for 8 years, competed in over 35 winch challenges, Got a first in the Queensland winch challenge two weeks ago, got a 10th in ...

I run standard EFS leafs in my hilux which is only used in winch challenges, I am happy with them, stable, keeps the car low, and I can still keep up with the big boys with the fancy suspension.

Hi all. Well what a day. Was meant to be four stages but things didnt start till after 10.30 with two stages only run side by side. There was basically no winching unless a mud hole caught u out, really a speed offroad course. A shame as we love our winching and I knew I would struggle as the hilux ...

Hi all, Mike here. A quick post, been working on the car here in the paddock. We did the four stages last night and six today. Tracks are great fun, been a change to drive in some, well lots of mud, a change from dust. Been some challenging stages, lots of slippery hills and some fun tight drives ...

Sorry for the poor listing on the scores but anyways you know the boys are doing good coming 17th & 19th. Neither of them had any breakages or needed winching last night. They seem happy with that. Anyways let you all know later on today what is happening with results and breakages.

Hey everyone Jodie here Mike's partner from Clayton's Racing, just been told to update you all on the Ateco we left camp at 7.45pm and the briefing was just starting. Mike and Spoony went for a look at the tracks for Friday night a bit muddy but they reckon that everyone will drive them the only ...

Staying at a motel in town, starting to think might be coming back here for some of he nights if its too cold out camping. Will ...

I am always willing to supply empty cans, or to empty someone elses..lol

whats a tinny race :?

Generally a tinny races is when 3 or 4 cars line up beside each other but in individual lanes. Each car goes down the lane and pulls up beside a post and the navi picks a tin of the post. The car then backs up and the navi throws the tin in a large drum. There is usually 4 ...

Cheers, that looks like a good way of doin it.

Are you using an adaptor plate to bolt transfer on or a divorced transfer case , There are two types of mount , solid of the chassis and a centre gearbox mount or a solid gearbox mount and two side mounts . A couple I have seen when using adaptor plate to transfer , they combine the mount to hold ...
