Resulta i heard are:

1st - Dave Camp - 40 series
2nd - Mal - bush ranger
3rd - Tazz - 40 series

Wait for confirmation or an official announcement to be sure

I would love more results if anyone knows.
Especially if you know where Black Betty ended up

Awesome weekend!!

Sweet!! I am heading to Vegas this weekend and then driving out to KOH on Wednesday. Got a 4 door wrangler and I am hoping I can find a camping store to buy a matress and sleeping bag so I can sleep in the back of it :D Stay until after the race and then head back to Vegas for the weekend, before ...

Hows the prep work coming along? Is it worth being there for all of the pre-race days? What dates is everyone looking at getting out there? Does anyone have a spare spot in an RV? I think I will do something along these lines: Feb 8th - fly from NY to LA Feb 9th or 10th - Drive from LA to JV Feb ...

Nice work Ben!!

I have just moved to New York, but I am definitely keen on making it to KOH.
Just need to work out the dates etc.

If you know of anyone with some room in an RV let me know as I will be solo.

cheers

Does anyone have any info on tyre coverage?
Interested in front more than top down coverage as I have a jeep and looking from front on the tyres are out there.

i have seen cars with high steer before but never really understood the benifits.. Bigger links Improved geometry that takes into account your lift more clearance less prone to damage Whats not too like? This is all jeep but you get the idea http://www.pirate4x4.com/tech/billavista/Steering ...

Went through the research to buy a replacement for a dead yellow top recently. Ended up with a Deka and was very impressed after a brutal recovery session a few months ago!! I winched continuously with my high mount for more than an hour only stopping to reset the plasma rope. Recovering a mates ...

Reverse penalties are great! We used to have WErock and OZrock events where someone could win with just a couple less reverses for the whole weekend. Or if someone used rear steer and you managed to drive the course without it you were one up and putting the pressure on!! Made you really start to ...

Drove it to 4th at Tuff Truck in 2009 and has parked it since then basically.

But it will be back with a few more mods next year I believe

How much uptravel you need really depends on what you are doing with the vehicle. Rock crawling is going to be completely different to a high speed setup. Air bumps are very cool - http://www.azrockcrawler.com/_images/tech/2007/4-26-07airbump/airbumps.html" onclick="window.open(this.href);return ...

I dont have the actual answer to your question but email the guys from Novak and I am sure they will let you know.

You could do one like Nicks on Black Betty!
Huge piping that goes back through the firewall into the cab.

Sorry I don't have any better pics...

Hemis and jeeps are sooooo good, but really living here it just doesn't make much sense when you drop an LS1/2/whatever in and get all of the aftermarket and local knowledge. What did he break in the atlas? We have been abusing one for years behind 42's and tuned LS2's without any issues. The only ...

Sounds cool!

Is there a link to the rules anywhere?

Also, is there a link to any videos of the past events?

cheers

Love it!!
Make sure you post back with some videos

Are you going to groove those tyres?

When you are done with all those 37's and 39's can you sell me a set of used red labels...

Prepare for brain meltdown

Thanks for all of the replies...seems like Odyssey might be the way to go. Just need to find someone that sells them that isn't miles away and actually has them in stock!! Would actually be good to find somewhere near the city or down in Geelong as thats where I am this weekend. Has anyone heard of ...

Hey there, Just looking for a new main/starting/winching battery for the jeep. After going through a few Optimas over the years I am looking to see if anyone recommends anything different? Otherwise I will probably just go for another red top 34/78 I guess... Anyone have experience with any of the ...

Hey, Just wondering who was running a manual gearbox... - If you were, was it because you prefer it? - Or, would you run an auto if you could? - What ratios is the manual box? - T-case ratio? - Diff ratio? - Have you run an auto in the past for comparison? Working some stuff out for my jeep and ...

(obviously dependent on car) 4.3-4.8 Selectable lockers (maybe auto in rear) traditionally manuals but built autos becoming very popular std transfer gearing seems to be the go never seen a rear disconnect on a winch truck suspension - strength, geometry, damping are more important that max flex ...

Hey, Just wondering how most of the top competitive trucks are setup for winch challenge and outback challenge type events. I have a good handle on buggies and tuff truck type mods but not too sure on higher speed events. Looking for things like: - Diff ratios? - Selectable or auto-lockers? - Auto ...

It seems a standard rubicon comes with a 255/75/17 which is 32.1" tall tyre from factory. According to current QLD rules you can do a 15mm increase which basically gets you to 33" legally. Although I am guessing you could run a 35" and get away with it...they don't seem to look that big on a JK ...

Thanks for the quick replies :) Do you have to get it inspected every year up here? Or just when you get canaried? I don't even want to bring my jeep up here after hearing that it's such a PITA. Pay for it to get transported and then get canaried straight away. At least in vic it would only cost me ...

Hey there, Been a while since I have been on this forum I just moved up from Melbourne to Brisbane and don't really have a handle on what modifications you can run up here legally (and not so legally). My TJ in Melbourne runs 35's or 36's on beadlocks, half top, cut down bumpers etc and looks pretty ...

Looking forward to this...

I am guessing there is no stacking as it is all man made and I can just sit in the crowd and drink whilst talking shane through the course through our headsets?

I know they aren't on your list but I have found Maxxis Creepy Crawlers to be better than all of the Simex's I have run in the past. That includes 34x10.5 JT2's, 35" and 36" ET's with 2 or 3 centre lugs. Never run swampers but agree that the Q78 and 36" TSL's have a very good reputation offroad ...

Don't you have to manage the air/fuel and other things like timing?

cheers

...just to confirm...we did pop a gasket but the result will be well liked...every roll over, every mishap, every track covered... 3 full on features...first 3 minutes covers what OZRock/rockcrawling is all about, next 3 minutes covers Saturday and final 4.5 minutes covers all the Sunday action. We ...
