Tackling the harder stuff at Cobaw. Serious terrain, need good clearance, big tyres, winch, vehicle protection, minimum one locker (front will be most valuable, IFS must be twin locked) and a decent amount of experience driving hard and technical tracks.

Will camp the night as invariably Cobaw ends up taking longer than planned and I want to get as many of the good tracks in as we can.

Damage is a very real possibility at Cobaw.

Alcorns, Mansfield, Muirs, Stumpy, Camp Tracks are all on the list.

Wish my FJ73 was ready I'd be in at the drop of a hat. Stripping the rear axle at the moments, new brakes, bearings and auto locker :-)

Awesome day thanks Corey, sure tested the vehicles on some of those tracks. Definitely not the place for the IFS lads, could have been some carnage. Thanks very much for a great trip.
