Hennops Offroad !

Post by Scooter »

Where : Hennops Offroad trail
When : 07/09/2008
Who & what : Louis (4x4megaworld) - Hilux 4YEFI, Scott (Scooter) - Hilux 4Y, Graeme (mate of mine) - Jeep Sahara

We decide to do a quick trail on Sunday so here are few pics. It was very dry and most of the obstacles need a bit of work, and not more spinning wheels. I was happy to have the OME and it proved its worth to me.

Enjoy, we certainly did :!:

Scott,

That last picture you posted depicting the brown vehicle with white walls has some fantastic body lift! I would hazard a guess that the articulation is out of this world too...

Eric, you should have seen the laaties face. He wasn't quit sure if it was a donkey or a zebra and couldnt understand why they wanted to eat his lunch. :o:

But they most definately rule the trail, what with that zonkey suspension and all.

Scott, I agree. It seems you are getting really good articulation, it seems better than the megaworld's, do they also have a suspension kit in and if so, which one? Gr8t photo's! :D

That last modification you can only get at Zonkey X Zonkey Hennops, they warrantied to go anywhere nice and slow and confuse anyone with their speed.

Thanks Scott and Graham, it was a nice outing, like you guys know, we had a good time and I only used my locker twice. The first to show-off and the last one I crooked. Shows you, you just have to get your line right and plebty of buddies to show you how to get your line right!

Regards,
Louis

Thanks JB :D

The OME was fitted by Louis and his team at 4x4 Megaworld Menlyn and has the LC shocks to give a little more travel, and boy did it work well. They did a great job, thanks guys :wink:

The red van is Louis for those that dont know and like he said, the first time he used the locker was to show off and the second was because he got the wrong line, it wasnt his fault really :twisted: :twisted:

As for the little jeepy, I was suitably impressed with it, and it will be joining Louis and I (and a few others) at Rust De Winter at the end of the month to show us what it is really made of. :shock:

The photo's say it all, I think fitting the LC shocks is definitely the route to take if you are going to do the suspension upgrade, the difference is quite obvious looking at the 2 vehicles. Well done Louis – on a job well done and an excellent demonstration of your product and !
