Hillbilly Off-Roading......
Had a little play yesterday with the new kid on the block.
So the locals (Pauly in his Blue Astrom, Bob and daughter Talia in his new-to-him LWB Supa-Sport and of course the Hillbilly Baja with Ash riding
shot-gun) headed off from my driveway and the fun began....... No pretty paint for these tracks, the over grown firebreak opposite my driveway was the
first easy mission to get Bob into the swing of things.
Then we found a Blue Oval Wreck
Some of us needed to test Pauly's snatch abilities
Here's Bob and Talia enjoying the mud experience

Very nice you lot!!
Looks like you had a great time, a bit of mud is always fun.
And it looks like the Hillbilly needs a bit more flex there Matt!

Maybe Lucy, she does the ass dragging thing way more than Bill.
Great the Qld rego is done
I know that hole well Graham. Your buggy did well in that mud.

Bob you will quickley learn that mud is something to avoid by staying up on the sides as it ends up in everthing and is like valve grinding paste on
seals etc etc which then turns to shot bearings and so on and so on .
As for lifting it up more in the rear , yes it may need a little lift and the engine cage has a big overhang , BUT DON'T lift it so high that it is
constantly riding on the bottom stops as this makes for a pretty uncomfortable ride and the steel on steel banging is annoying .
Just my 2 cents anyway and i'mm sure Mat is telling you similar
Don't let body work get in the way of real suspension travel

Yeah dont worry first thing is a new smaller exhaust and new engine cage.
Im going to notch the spring plates for down travel before i lift it after i see how much the bus cv's can take, after that ill start thinking about
930 cvs and thing spindles
