Outer Limits 4x4 Board

Just pulled the rear diff out because I had no locker. I broke the copper tube when I installed the centre. Silly me, but I will be there.

I was going to bring a new friend with me to this event but I might have to rethink that. All good she will only arrive on Saturday and party might be over by then

I will be doing SSS. Not as far to travel and I hear a few of the top teams are doing SSS as well. Talking to past competitors and they say Stirlo runs a great event, it's family friendly and I have not heard of one unhappy team.

How many people does this effect. Is there anybody wanting to do XWC and SSS? Let the organisers know and maybe if it effects enough people dates could be changed. It does not effect me. Lawrie

Was a great event and am glad Paul and Sharyn are still going to run an OUTBACK CHALLENGE as I've got to keep competing till I win one so I can retire. ( maybe still competing when I' m 80) LAWRIE

Survivor should be a great event, rocks, sand and MUD and now with nissan diffs under the lux it should go the 6 days. (Yes I know it's hard to believe I'm running nissan diffs). Hey Hobzee hope Rudi's not over worked while you're doing this event with me. JOKING. LEXLUX

Hey Dave is there a safe place to leave our trailers and trucks?

Just read Hobbsy's post and I've got a surprise for him when I pick him up tomorrow morning, straight to the workshop. The Lux is mobile but we will still have a couple of days of finishing touches and testing. He will not be getting any rest. See you all at the Hill.

I'm doing the same as Bill, new shocks, different diffs front and back, new tray (but still painted blue). Still alot of work to do but I have confidence in my nephew Pete to have it ready. Anyway Hobbsy will finish anything not done when he gets here (he thinks he's coming to the Gold Coast for a ...

Hi GUYS, CAM GALE & COL FIRST- ROD McCRAW & HOLLYWOOD SECOND- CRISTIAN & TERRY THIRD. I broke the lux rear diff on Saturday, The new 37" MAXXIS are great, just got to make everything strong enough to handle the great traction now. LAWRIE. (great venue)

Thanks Big Red good footage, we had fun up there and the looks on kids faces after their rides was priceless. It's good to see what the doughnuts look like from the outside too. Thanks to Dave Metcalfe too for giving us expossure for our sponsors. Cheers Lexlux

The Lux is still damaged from the last comp where I hit a tree, but will be ready for round 1 at ROVER so I will be there and a couple of other Gold Coasters I think Rod McCraw in the gold jeep will be there and an old sparing partner of mine is getting back into it. That's Garry Wardropper with his ...

Will there be any penalty for twin winch motors, vechicle motor changes or anything thats restricks development to our comp trucks. I'm interested LEXLUX.

Is this comp restricted to teams from NSW & ACT? But the name does say AUSTRALIAN Masters

Just read the best coverage of an XWC I've seen in a mag in a long time. It's in Sept. OVERLANDER, 5 pages with BARBIE the main pic. LAWRIE

Just got time to read the OBC posts. Thanks Hobzee for the kind words and the great job you did with the GPS and the 3 winches we did went to plan and happened very quickly. Would also like to thank everyone on Outer Limits who offered us support while competing in OBC. Greg and Liam didn't make any ...

I think it means the first night is going to be tough. Hobzee can't reply today as he's on his way to the Gold Coast & we leave for Broken Hill on Tuesday but he will have acess to a computor till then.

Hey Purplebus if Dave has some more fund raisers you could get a ride.

Well said Hobzee the situation with the sponsorship has probably been known for a long time it's just that Paul has just let us know about it. The Lux went to Sean's today to get OBC ready, diffs out for check, new C/Vs, nuts and bolts tightened and I will be running the new STAUN rims. I'm starting ...

That weekend I will still be at the Outback Challenge. Had it been on another weekend my daugther would have had a drive and the interesting part would have been me running the winch cable. I use the word running loosely. Come on guys support this event as Dave has put it on for the beginers and ...

Gee Dave we bag you about how you run your events and now they are bagging you about how you drive in events, it's a tough world. On another note, if you put your stage scores up from XWC Stirlo might post his scores up. Better sign this LAWRIE

Yes would be good to see some results and pics soon after the event

Will we see pics on a web site somewhere?

MMM With this much interest it's got to be a sucssesfull comp. Be a good starter for my daughter, but I'll need another Hilux. Will a GPS or ground anchor be needed?

Yes, we've got to give these young blokes a chance. Or put them in a TOYOTA, then we would be on a level playing field.

Dave are you going to incorparate the age points system in your events? Ha Ha

Hi all, me here, my mates call me LAWRIE (or POP). Had a great time,thanks MMM, great stages & well run. My Procomp tyres & staun bead locks worked well & I was very happy with 4th. place considering I've got one of those old single motor highmount winches on 24 volts with a Mal Leslie freespool Ha ...

Mal, The site is in French & is www.outbackchallenge.com not much info there but Devon 4x4 site probably has more info. Kim Bolton was doing a costing on it & was talking about 25 Grand to do it.

Thanks for the support & concern guys but Sean & I are still on the Gold Coast. I made a tough decision Wednesday last week to pull out, a few things caused this. We were making a few changes & even though the guys had done a lot of work on the Lux while I was in Morocco we still had a lot to do ...

Yes it is a defender grill but that was left out to fit the winch in. The bonnet was a work of art. When the four catches were released the lot lifted off.
