Outer Limits 4x4 Board

Moose rolled his car trailer on the way up to Tuff Truck last night... with his Sierra on the back

Moose and Co. are all ok, but the trailer and Sierra are write-offs.

oooooh..... bugger!!

Good to hear Moose is ok

that sux,
im glad to hear every on is ok, does that mean he will have zook parts for sale at TTC?

We will all have to extra special to him... it's farked his whole weekend

That sucks!
Could have been worse I guess, glad everyone is ok.
What happened?

i think is farked more then his w/e.

we will cheer him up again tho

what a carp start to the w/e, carnage before the comp started. i could loan him mine for the w/e

Oh $hit on a Stick! or is that on a squik?!?

hell Moose, what happened!? Glad to hear everything is ok.. but dang! who was involved squik? Condolences go out to you mate.. she was a tuff ol girl..

May you soon wheel again!

*memories plays softly as we bow our heads for a moments silence to reflect*

It happened last night near Singleton (I spoke to Podge this morning). He and the little bloke are ok but the old girl is dead

Moose is up there now (no internet).

man he will be gutted he has been everywhere with that Zuk

This thread is useless without pics.... thats about the only thing that makes something this bad worthwhile in a years time! =)

Gee, like an end of an era!

Shame to hear. That things been around for ever.

Sounds like a new zuk build-up project is in order

This seriously blows. And to pull attention away from the crying little baby in the corner for a minute, this should makes us all think about the inherant dangers that towing can involve. Too many times over the years have I heard of competition or show cars being written of due to towing accidents. I'm not going to jump to conclusions about how this happened but I would like to offer my condolences to Moose and hope everyone learns from this.

so what actually happened/

Also by old girl is dead I hope you mean just the Zuk and not a person

its the zook, dont stress

Mock

Shitty situation, glad everyone's relatively okay though.

If it rolled on a trailer I'd only have to presume it was at some sort of speed, and a zuk+trailer not only means more weight, but more height for it to fall from.
Would be prettly lucky to get away with a body swap, but I'd imagine it would have broken things like body mounts, suspension mounts, steering links/mounts, even bent chassis & damaged drive train could be a result.

Fortunately, zuks are cheap, unfortunatly it doesnt take much to write one off!

Unsure of the details, but he had driven through from Melbourne so maybe fatigue was a factor....

:

ouch thats a shame to hear so close to the date.

anyway which one is moose?

actually why was he towing the Zuk up anyway, he wasn't competing was he?

can anyone put a links/pics up of Mr Moose's zook?? ive never seen it and from reading this thread the zook musta been awsome????

my condolences to Mr Moose and his family & friends


The ilsandvit

the white one with yellow windscreen surround/roof, had shackle reversal, body lift on 33" swampers and the oz-rock sticker on the door

there is a pic on the first page of this thread,

and he brings his zook to TTC every year, i have offered mine a replacement for him for the weekend

He works up at TTC each year, uses it to get around the site...

thanks, that pic didnt load when i went through the thread

Okaaaaaaay... just got off the phone to Podge. The poor little Sierra is a writeoff (chassis is screwed - as well as a munched up body) but he's still able to drive it around the property in a fashion. Moose, his mate Bill and Josh were in it... all ok.

Only problem is that the radiator is stuffed. Does anyone have a spare 1.3 radiator they can take up on the weekend for him?

If so, call Podge... PM me for his number, or call Moose on the TTC number: 1300 885 836

Pyrotech... gave you the wrong number.. sorry - use the one above and I've PMd Podge's number to you as well.

I didn't know he'd had it so long (since it was 3 years old), I understand a bit more now how much it means to him... the poor bugger is absolutely devastated

I'm thinking a "Moose-a-thon" may be on the cards
