Sounds good.

Probably Lowell's Flat again. Not sure about the descent into McIntyres so will just go with what works. Having said all this, if the weather turns on Friday arvo, we will be making a last minute change to Berlang/Deua River etc. None of us have the cars or experience to drive on really wet...

I'm heading back in this weekend and going to head to the same spot along the route I laid out in the first post of this thread. I'm a bit nervous because of the rain and the fact that I have road tyres on. I have 2 other 4WDs with me this time and we have a snatch strap. Hopefully the factory...

Hey Aussie, What did you end up doing for your 100k service? My Navara is in Total Traction in Belco at the moment. Just got a call saying they need to replace the spark plugs according to the manual (I'm at 102k) and it would be $60 per platinum plug plus labour. I said no thanks and have been...

Just in case anyone find this and is in a similar predicament, how I fixed it... The blue lug is designed to pop inside a white opening inside the headlight. The blue lug moves in an out of the adjuster as you change the headlight angle switch and in doing so moves the opening back and forth...

I am just digging up this as I think I might have recently stuffed up. I was playing with my headlights and got inquisitive. I found the adjuster but didn't know what it did. (This pic is from another thread) When I pulled that lug off there was a small white joystick type part in the lug...

Would you sell separately? I only need the cover.

Thanks for all the tips and advice. I have updated my initial post with a field report and a map in case someone else was interested in a similar trip.

Already made plans to head to the coast. Would have come along otherwise; next time!

Thanks for the tips guys! Feeling a lot more confident about heading off-road now. Hope the rain hasn't messed up the roads too much. Had the mechanic go over the car today and give it a thumbs up. Got a quote for a new suspension system for next time ;) Any tips on what tyre pressure to run...

Yes we will be camping. I know I sound like a bit of a noob here but is it unreasonable to expect to fit 5 people, with camping gear, in a Navara for 2 or 3 nights? Planning on picking up some firewood at Fyshwick tomorrow as well. YJN, I have mapped your instructions to this image. Is this the...

The weather forecast suggests that there will be no more rain in the ranges until after the weekend so I am hoping that the roads/tracks will be dry. I am running stock tyres. We have a full car (5) with tents and gear in the tray. One of the other guys has a Forrester but the current plan is to...

Thanks for the offers guys. Would be great to do a 4WD day trip with a few of the Canberra members here, if nothing but to teach me how to drive my new car! However, as it stands we want to head there this weekend. Going to buy a topographic map and use this rough guide from this site to guide...
