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 :D :D :D




in that case there should be a BBQ for him! LMAO! what a bloke, the kind you would see a pile comin from Vic to help next time (hope there wont be one!) for a free feed!

So this sat out there all week with a set of 37" MTRS?
And No one found it and took anything off it?

If that were left up here in Bris somewhere it would have been found and stripped within days.


Great to see you guys recovered it. Its amazing what can be done when there are motivated people helping.

I think i used up most of my most of my strength being the anchor point for both jeeps but luckly Adam and family came to the rescue with those 2 nice big steaks.
Thanks for the feed Adam, give us a call when you roll it next time :lol: , the steaks tasted great ;) .

I could tell you liked the steak by the speed that the first one dissapeared from your plate ;) :D

All the best Adam for the next project... and it's good to see you were able to somehow "steer" it onto the trailer :armsup:

It was a tops day, now can place some faces with names and thanks again for the feed.

Thanks Adam for the chance to test my freshly soldered DSE voltmeter with some serious winch action :) (Interestingly...well to me anyway, is the voltmeter showed the correct voltage, hovering around 12v with 2000rpm of hand throttle, whilst the stock altmeter dropped to nothing while winching.

Had never hit the XD9000's limit before but we found it (we don't need no stinky double pulls) !

MattC's borrowed Tirfor remains virginal...

Top brekky and lunch feeds too.

Well done the rest of the crew (was cool to meet other OLer's) present for making it a well organised, painless and interesting day.
