Joined up with the FOG lot this weekend for a weekend in the woods, great bunch and the tracks thru the woods are very good
the 'MadBull' got it's first outing and performed faultlessly Cool

managed to even get some acrobatics going on as well Very Happy

doesn't really look it but that rear wheel is a good bit of the ground Very Happy

Side steps really don't help in the woods Laughing

hopefully Stretch is gonna E me with some more piccys as the batteries died on my camera after those couple of shots Rolling Eyes

Glad you enjoyed it mate, was great to meet you and your Madbull 3.1...was great to see it getting big air, and seeing the grin replacing that look of uncertainty to begin with.

Its been a long slog, with so many laughs along the way, but we have ended up with a super site that only we use, tailored around IFS to get the best out of our kinda trucks, with next to no rutts to, some you need to steer unlike some sites where you might as well play scalextric..
Plenty of acrobatic opertunities, and really technical...

Hope you enjoyed the "big green leafer" experience...and doing some gravity dodging, and leaf busting LOL

And you cant beat the evening bash at one of our weekenders...great company in a super setting.

Sally, I and the rest of the SE FOG rabble hope to see you again soon bud...

Thanks for coming and helping make this weekender such a good time... Cool

Many apologies I couldn't be there to introduce you buddy. Had a major emergency I had to attend to. Glad you got a ride in the BGL ... its a true example of what these IFS trucks can do, and how tought the Isuzu 4wd system really is in the face of true punishment. That BGL looks like its been to hell and back, and it still keeps on going. Funny to think its LSD at the rear and welded up front diff can make it go almost anywhere with enough "determination".

I see you also found the tyre changing hole. Twisted Evil

That can really make you twitch the first time as your beloved truck seems to keep on pitching as one of her legs gets deeper and deeper in the hole.

Is Greg trying to push it over ... or trying to stop it from falling over lol.

..

Shortly afterwards Dave was seen browsing Eblag on his phone looking for a new drivers side seat cover.

RedBull might not give you wings, but dumping the rear corner of your truck into a bomb hole certainly gives you air!.

Was just giving it a wobble, it was well over though, so it was deffo clenchworthy. You gotta love our tyre changing hole...LOL

Gonna dig a complex of them when we next can afford a machine up there...so you come out and the next one is diagonal so you seesaw down and into it...
It works in my head anyway, even if I cant describe it well...and have I let you guys down yet with a digger with anything that isnt drivable without a huge grin!

Daves trooper does flex well though, would have incurred much more air-age if it was a leafer like the BGL, his springage just soak up the undulations.
Proper impressive though, and did real well on BFG a/ts as it was a bit slippy on saturday.

Have you bought yourself a cordless impact wrench yet Dave????LOL
