Sold my skyline today.....little sad, as been building up car over the past few years... Everything rebuilt ready for the track... Lucky owner is real happy.
I'm also happy as now have more money to spend on the JK.
Bar and winch and fridge/freezer coming real soon. Might wait and see if I can get a good price during the camping and 4wd exhibition in march..

Try Lake Lyel camping grounds - has toilets & showers(20c per 2-3mins). Thinking of taking my 4y girl on her 1st camping trip there the weekend of Rydal Show 5/6 Feb. Not sure if I'm even taking the 4wd but just thought I could start her out easy & go from there. there is a camping fee of about $10 a night.

Well after experiencing first hand the advantages of having a bar and winch (many thanks to miraz and hunty), I'm confident I'll be able to use mine when required. Hopefully not for same reason. LOL

Looks good - don't forget to update your recovery kit to include the bits and pieces you'll need to use the winch safely.
gloves, snatch blocks, dampners, RATED shackels, winch extension strap,
Had a play at yalwal on Sunday along monkey gum and mintbush trails had a great time. Only problem was on my way home stopped in a Kiama for an ice-cream and my jeep didn't won't to restart. Could smell like an electrical burning smell from near the battery. Called jeep assist and they came but could not find the fault hence it was towed away.....
Not a happy ending to a great day.

Finally got an answer.. Some how I burnt the starter motor. Looks like solenoid stuck on and cooked starter motor and wiring. Maybe it was when I got stuck in a deep mud pit and had to winch myself out. Winch work well..LOL. .they found mud around starter motor so I guess it was the cause. Should not have happened. Will be repair under warranty which is good but I'm jeepless for another 8 days. Motor coming from Singapore. Bugger
Once I get it back will check another track in yalwal and then will post a trip for early April.
