Hey Toyocrusa,
The only video is in vehicle stuff shot from my Rig, because
mine is Locked, Auto and and ULP I just walked over it at about 1,200 rpm which didn't get any effect like all the boys with Manuals and open diffs. Maybe next time.

Must admit Blaze that some of my video looks tamer now I mostly drive locked auto and usually with snow mode switch engaged which stops any sudden accel movement.
But where was this jump up !

Way over the other side towards Avoca, near Turpins and Sardine Track. It was pretty bad last year but this year it was dug out with 30 to 40cm jump ups that lined up with the rear and front wheels at pretty close to the same time. The 100 is locked back and front, but a manual and he is getting used to how much difference the lockers make :-)

Thanks Blaze - I know the general area but not the exact spot.
I am compiling a map of actual driven tracks in the area as existing maps are poor.
I am trying to put a rating against sections that might cause damage to standard touring wagons so I need to know which actual track so that it may be avioded.
My guess is its not on Sardine but on my maps Turpins track goes west and east of Mt
Warrenmang.
Don't go to any trouble but if you can refine the position then great - I could probably work it out from a plot come to think of it.

Hi Robin,
I have attached a file to this msg, I think I have done it right. I looked through my track file and came up with were we were, the waypoint is just off the main track and goes up and over the
hill. I saved this in Google .kml file, let me know if you can't sort it from here and I will send the Ozi waypoint. I put it into Google Earth so I could be sure it was the right spot.
Cheers
