3 Provinsies 14Mar'15

Post by ôita »

Het Saterdag bietjie vir die eerste keer die 3 Provinsies 4x4 roete gaan doen....Was dit nou lekker. :thumbup: 3 voertuie ons almal van Piet Retief. Die ander mense het oorgeslaap in die kliphuis vir die naweek en ek en my pel het Saterdag vir die dag deurgery. Baie lekker weer ook gehad.Ek sal dit rerig aanbeveel vir enige ou wat van sulke goed hou. Ek glo dit sou nog lekkerder wees as ons kon oorslaap en nog n paar van die ander roetes ry. Mens onderskat partykeer hoeveel die voertuie rerig kan doen sonder moete. Aangeheg n paar fotos......

That SFA is simply out of this world!! When I looked at the pics a second time, only then did I notice that there were two other vehicles as well. ;)

Your Hilux is made for country like that, it looks great! The only small concern I had was when you were traversing that narrow section of trail where you could have scratched the paint workwork - Ugh!

All of those pics would make great calendar pics! :thumbup:

Kobus,

Daai is nou n baie mooi roete en ek sal nog bietjie spaar om so naweek te kan gaan geniet en sommer dan so paar ander draaie ook te ry,

SFA lyk darem ma net reg in daai wereld. Lyk nie asof iemand gesukkel het om te ry nie. Vertel bietjie meer van hoe die Cruiser en Pajero gedoen het daarso.

Soos ons gery het, het ons dieselfde gese. Die ouer paaie op die steil dele het al baie verspoel so daars nuwe paaitjies regs langs die oues.Die nuwes sal dan baie glad wees as dit reen en baie meer pret. Die ou klipperige paadjies sal dan ook weer lekker wees. :celebrate:

Thank you very much Family Dog for the kind words. I'm very happy with how it came out in the end (still not finished ) :D:

That part is called The Tunnel - a deep rocky downhill donga. When you enter it the rear wheel lifts :thumbup: whitch is nice.....Luckely no scratches from that part and only one straight through on the side maybe from a branch somewhere but nothing a bit of polish wont fix :aggresive:

I dont think my wife would like it too much if I put up a pic of my Lux right beside picks of my son :siffler:

Dis rerig nie duur nie en beslis die moeite werd. Dit lyk of die pryse bietjie opgegaan het. Die hoofroete word nog geadverteer vir R180 maar die naweek was dit R200. So ek glo daar was onlangs n klein verhoging gewees. Ons het die roete in ongeveer 5ure gedoen met baie stoppe tussin-in vir fotos en plante kyk en gesels. Die witkruis arende met die uitsig daar bo is uit 'n ander wereld +/- 2250m bo see spieel.

Ons het nie helshoogte aangepak nie. Hulle se dit moet net met lockkers voor en agter aangepak word en hy raak al erger soos die stukkie verspoel en meer gevaarlik word. Die omroete is net so lekker steil maar rustig....2de rat low range heelpad van onder tot bo teen die berg uit.

By die een deel na die waterval toe - "trappe" is nogal n challange vir n voertuig sonder difflock. dis 'n rotsbank wat trappe vorm met baie los grond en klippe op.Dan is dit nog steil ook. Mens het ook nie juis n aanloop vanuit die spruit nie.Om te storm gaan inelkgeval nie help nie.Die cruiser is op sonder dat hy dit gevoel het en die Pajero het ook nie te veel gesukkel nie. Ek het baie traksie verloor sonder difflock en moes so paar keer weer begin en ander lyne probeer maar ek was op :yahoo: Mooi waterval wat ek glo nog mooier sal wees as dit lekker gereen het, en dan weer terug by die trappe af en verder op die roete. Daars heelwat stukke met baie klippe op die roete wat lekker is maar 80% ry mens net lekker teen die berge op en af en bekyk die natuur.

Ek sou graag met my PajeroSport daar gaan ry maar ek dink hy sal so bietjie verniel onder asook die mudflaps,rims en trappies. Sal dit nie oor my hart kry om dit te doen nie.Ek glo hy sal dit kan doen maar van daai plekke met die klippe sal my seerder maak as die voertuig.
