Outer Limits 4x4 Board

trucks way to hard to recover so were getting as much off it as we can tomorrow

I'd offer to help out too but i'm too far away as well !

Come on guys lets help Adam out !

Hey Adam, what's the status with recovery/salvage?
I'm in Qeanbeyan and have the day off on Friday and dont have to work until Saturday arvo. Plus another mate could probably make it as well.
I would gladly come up to give you a hand.

O U C H ! ! ! ! looking at the photo's of you and the car , well count your lucky stars that your still with us all still !!! huh

Me, Dumbdunce and a few others are makeing a big recovery early saturday morning so if anyone wants to lend a hand, give me a pm and come on down to goulburn early on Sat.

Okay, anyone else that "Would" help but is busy or far away shut up!

Anyone that can help, nice work. Good to see him getting his rig back!

Have you thought about doing this to it?!! (all you need is some tube and a bonnet!!) your tub doesnt look so bad

The cage would survive a helluva a lot more beatings too.

Yeah thats going to be one of the first things i do to it. but the problem is that it gets farking cold in goulburn and drving in the rain would suck. Did you get a custom soft top made for it, coz i haven't seen you with one ?

anyone wanting to come along on the recovery we will be leaving my place (Blacktown) around 0600 on saturday morning.

PM if you want details.

Id just like to wish you all luck on saturday, was going to come, but dragged away with family commitments.

Good luck,

and MY45 hope you get well soon.

bloody lucky to be alive i think you should buy a lotto ticket!!

thank god you're all right

sorry to hear about the 45

Such a shame, but in the end its just a posession that can be fixed/replaced, lucky you had a rollbar, good that you are ok at least.

sent a PM to dumbdunce few days ago , but hadnt heard anything since

is he around / still going etc?

if so , anyone else know whats happening?

as still trying to fit it in with other stuff already planned

Post up some details ie time/location and I'll get up there if I have the morning free.

We're all meeting in goulburn at 8-8:30 at 77 Lagoon st on saturday. Its a big white motel with a big archway entrance. There are five 4x4's at the moment but the more the merrier. Any help appreciated. Get here early for a free hot breakfast


Adam

The OL Recovery Team swung into action today.
Top job guys, it was a fantastic, well coordinated effort.

All ran smoothly winching the 45 out of the gully and back onto the track -- that's where the fun started...
It took a Nissan, Jeep and Toyota -- all locked front and rear and straped together -- to pull the wrecked 45 back up the hill. And it was a damn hard slog too.

Back on the track

Group photo

Close up of cab. This is wayne our designated steerer.
We tried to get the 45 to steer to aid in pulling it back up the track but the steering was FUBAR so we just dragged it up unoccupied.

After much pulling the 45 was back on top of the hill ready to be trailered out. My tyres copped a hiding. A few more loose hanging lugs flew off on the freeway on the way home

good to see it was a success

Yep, 7:30 and its finally in my back yard again. Pulling it up onto the trailer took ages coz the steering waz stuffed and kept on steering off the loading planks........Out to the farm tomorrow so it can be used for spares

good work everyone! glad to see the 45 was in good hands. Now that it's out adam, how much of it can you salvage, and possibly put on my fourby till you get your next 45?

Good to see the outerlimits fellas helping each other out. Top job!

Cool Adam,
I was a bit worried about you and Wayne doing the last bit and I hoped that it wasn't going to be too much stuffing around to get it on the trailer, so it's good to hear you got it back and you're not still out there!

Bet it was a slow trip home.

congrats to the OL recovery team, glad to hear its now Restin on home teritory, congrats on the recovery, still sorry to hear it happned.

the best part of the day was lunch.....was brilliant

why did u have 3 locked cars going for it???? could have just asked and i would have brought my beast (cant beat pedal power )

Aza, it would have taken you 3 months to get here, and we didn't want to hang around that long while you're livin it up pedaling down the Hume.

Dood, if you lived down here, we would have called you up for sure.

Good shit feelas and why didnt that big fella just pick it up and put it on his shoulders and carried it up

Are you going to give it the chop and use it as a offroad rig
and buy a tow rig.

Now you have it home and have looked at it, what is actually salvagable?

How were the tires.

As everyone has said, Good effort blokes.. should be a BBQ thrown on at MY45's as a thanks!

Hey Bogged,
there is no need for that at all, the recovery effort was a fully catered affair!

Adam had breaky organised for us when we arrived, an esky full of cold drinks while we were out there and lunch of steaks, wedges, chips and salad when we got back.

Thanks Adam, it was a pleasure helping you out...
and eating your food
