The going got a little muddy, pushing through some carrot soup bog holes. The amount of roos, emus, sheep, goats, cattle and echidnas we came across (particularly driving at night), the wife is all in favour of getting a bull bar.

Just fitted a set of sliders from Buds Customs in QLD. Buddy was a pleasure to deal with. Very happy with the product and his service.
Tip - Before jumping into the fitment, note there are 3 different size brackets on each side. I tried to wrestle one side into place before noticing. Once I had them in the right spot they were easy to fit.
Long bracket - Front
Short bracket - Middle
Medium bracket - Rear

Last weekend I competed the 4WD Victoria Proficiency course at the Werribee 4x4 Proving Grounds. In a few months, I will complete the Intermediate in the Cobar State forest.
It was noting too challenging, despite being muddy and slippery. Picked up a few small technical tips that may help in the future. I recommend doing this course particularly in prep for the other courses which I cannot wait for.

Unfortunately I broke two ABS sensors before Billy Goats Bluff...... Lost ABS, Traction control, speedo, odometer and some loss of power. I didn't feel like it was worth the risk continuing (will be another run in the future) so parked the Rok up at the top of the Pinnacles and ran shotgun with Sam and Eric.
Great track, pretty steep and spectacular views despite the heavy cloud. You really don't want to go over the edge at the top :-o. There was still renamance of a Patrol that recently rolled down one of the wider sections with a wheel and a tail shaft on the side of the track as a freindly reminder to respect the tracks.

Over nearly the last 2 weeks, we travelled to and enjoyed the Big Red Bash in Birdsville, also tacking Big Red. This trip was organised by Pat Callinans Unsealed 4x4 Team and we travelled in a convoy of 25 Amaroks.
Its always great running with the ACV crew and was great meeting other Amarok owners from around Australia. I am looking forward to meeting some of them again on future trips. A big thanks also to Tim Stanners and the Unsealed 4x4 crew for organising and co-ordinating the event along with VGA and Ben Tiebels from VGA for supporting the Amarok convoy.
Below was our schedule. Over the next few days I will post pics and commentary of our trip.
Day 1 Melbourne to Mildura
Day 2 Mildura to Silverton and Broken Hill
Day 3 Broken Hill (after meeting the ACV crew) to Cameron Corner via Packsaddle and Tibooburra
Day 4 Cameron Corner (Joined up with the Unsealed 4x4 Convoy) to Innamincka
Day 5 Innamincka to Cadelga Ruins

Due to the late start, the convoy was unable to make it to Birdsville as planned so we camped at Cadelga Ruins for the night

One of the more difficult tracks. Popped the bead of the tyre running 12psi after hitting a rut but managed to re-inflate.
