You put the mocker on him POS, mechanical failure stopped Pete from getting his hat trick. The tracks that he didn't break or roll on he drove well though. Had an aweseome drive in the mud last night.

REALLY

No disrespect to anyone but barring mechanical failure i can't see anyone getting close to Pete IN THE WEROCK SERIES

Seriously, its a shame. Looks like he fought back hard sunday to at least end up in third.

Good effort to all the TTC competitors.

The Red Jeep "Fire Truck"? I was told he had problems starting and once finally getting it to start had problems keeping it on. 2nd hand info though.

What a top weekend, except for the explosion at 3am this morning - I think the whole campsite shook or was that just me. I think that woke the dead.

How good was Mal's bush rangie. I watched it drive heartbreak ridge with little to no effort. It was going well on the All Terrain till it broke a portal. Then came back to be 1 of only 2 or 3 trucks to get around to the waterfall on the Rocky horror. They certainly deserve the win. Well done guys.

The tracks were certainly way harder than ever before which resulted in way more carnage and the rule changes certainly made it more competative.

Will post some pics tomorrow.
Bring on 11th Apr 08

Yet another great tuff truck

Disappointing to see so few get past the first hill on rocky horror.

My vids as posted on 4wdm are here

It definitely needs more balanced front and rear suspension though, the front suspension has hardly moved on the ramp.

Chad (customhilux) for the hydro work .....I Had to take the chance and get those lines upgraded in size to atleast try to work out for myself to what the prob was...it didnt make a huge change but I had to try ......time to try a new pump huh

i thought it was very slow organising. we rock and the nissan trials where better ran. i got sick of just standing around waiting for the next car to do something. after the cars started the course the next car should have been ready to go when the other car finished. no 10 to 15 min's breaks in between some of them.

OK Here's my whinge about Tuff Truck. The prepaid meals were carp this year.
In previous years you could hardly eat it all, we got steak & sausage sangas for lunch, it was all good.

This year, someone had told them everyone at TTC are small eaters and we all like the healthy choice menu.
Breakfast: one sausage, a bit of bacon, an egg OR spaghetti, not both.
Lunch: Chicken salad wraps, some didn't even have chicken on them.
Dinner: I got one ham steak and one piece of pineapple and was told to get some salad on the other table. I thought she was having a laugh! we didn't get drinks with our dinner.

Please bring back the other caterers next year TTC organisers!

What an awesome weekend, the Big White Fridge is now resting at home suprisingly in one piece but will be back next year!

Special thanks to the recovery team as they did an awesome job on the weekend and were easy to get along with.

Can't wait to see the DVD, congrats to Athol and Lachlan for 4th place can't believe there was only 6 points in it, Lachlan will have to spend some more time in the Gym before the next one.

Thanks to everyone that cheered us on.
