One hell of a trip at Mt Cole

A few weeks ago, we ventured to a 4wd destination that was new to all in the group - Mt Cole.

Mt Cole is situated in Central West Victoria, about 2.5 hours drive from Melbourne. It was one of those ‘secret’ spots that not too many have h

eard of. Well, that already got us excited when we knew little about it.

And it turned out to be an unforgettable adventure with mishaps aplenty and tracks that will have us going back to explore more and more of this amazing location in the years to come!

Another tour of Tallarook

"... After airing down we headed off to the 1st couple of tracks to 'warm up' before arriving at the top of Phone Track. Only 3 of the group, Matt, Gazza & Peter were prepared to give it a go, so as they headed around to the beginning of the track, the rest of us took up vantage points for photos and video footage. Matt was 1st and after the Disco did some 'bonding' with a few rocks...sad, he arrived at the steep section and got a fair way up before he 'bellied out' and required a winch for a few metres then drove the rest of the way...."

Club 4x4

Having a good 4x4 Insurer is just as important as choosing a good rig. Those folks from Club 4x4 certain live up the game. They know 4x4! They are one of the fastest growing 4x4 insurance companies in Australia. We hear nothing but positive feedback from general public. If you are looking to switch to a new insurer, make sure you check them out or just get a quote from them, it should only take a 5 minute. 

 

Mr Mods

Terry from Mr Mods has shown us what it is all about when helping our fellow 4wders. On our Mt Cole trip, one of our 4wds suffered a major mechanical issue with a bent steering link. Despite the fact that we rang up multiple wreckers and dealers with no parts available, we turned to “Mr Mods, the only number you call when all hope is lost.”. 
 
  
 
Terry was able to source a complete rack assembly  (for an FJ Cruiser we might add, so parts aren’t going to be easy to find on a Saturday afternoon!) and delivered it out to the group who were stranded on top of a mountain after 4.5 hours of winching. A huge effort from Terry driving the round trip from Boronia to Mt Cole. Much thanks indeed!
Without Terry the day would’ve gone from painful to disastrous. 
 
We are excited to partner with Mr Mods.
