The Christmas madness is winding down, now it's time for 4x4! MEDIUM

Mt Disappointment, VIC
See more trips
I've increased the group to 8 for people on the wait list.
At least AT tyres are mandatory as you'll likely shred road tyres. Your car should have lift or large tyres due to the rocks and ruts.

I may add another car or two if I'm confident with the abilities of the group.

95 percent chance car will be drivable, just given you a heads up that might pull out last minute if that's alright

Hey Pal, it's all good. What's being operated on? I just discovered yesterday that I also (bent my tie rod too) pulled a brake line on our last trip at Tallarook. It's in the shop tomorrow getting fixed up. I'm upgrading to braided brake lines too.

Hey all, thanks for a great trip. As usual Mt Disappointment didn't disappoint. Everyone had a good time from what I could tell, and no-one broke anything. For everyone's reference, below is the friendly email the people who bailed on the trip last minute received.

Catch you all soon.

"Hey,

Just a quick one. It wasn't cool that you pulled out last second without calling or texting. We all waited half an hour for you and everyone was annoyed.

Jason."

Hi mark. If you go into my previous Mt Dis trips, one of them about six month ago has a digital trip log in the files section. All you need to do is load it into your gps and follow the trip.

No, nothing different. I've spent many hours searching the area and there is barely anything worth mentioning.
