Anyone want to join me for a quick drive up the Helderberg two oceans 4x4 trail on Sunday? With a bit of luck there'll be some rain on Friday and Sat to liven things up a bit.
So far the plan is to get to the parking lot about 9am...

Re: Helderberg4x4 on Sunday 28 Aug?
Ha ha ha it should be interesting. The trail is easy enough not to break anything (touch wood), but I need to make sure nothing falls apart before we find some tough stuff.
Either way it should be a nice day in the winelands...

What a beautiful day for a drive. Was on the trail for about 2 hours and didn't see another soul.
Afraid not many pics, its tricky to drive and take pics at the same time!
View from the top:
The obligatory poser shot
the lex went great, except for a leaking rear transfer seal and a fugged front output bearing

Nice Jonathan! What springs and shocks have you got in front?
When your road comes to an end ...... you need a HILUX!.
Life is like a jar of Jalapeño peppers ... what you do today, might burn your ass tomorrow.
Don't take life too seriously ..... no-one gets out alive.
It's not about waiting for storms to pass. It's about learning to dance in the rain.
And be yourself ..... everyone else is taken!

Re: Helderberg4x4 on Sunday 28 Aug?
They're a custom set of OME springs I made up , with some reasonably long pro-comp shocks. One day when I'm big (or win the lotto) I'll splash out on a set of Fox's, but for the moment these do just fine
