Unimog passenger wanted (Tomorrow) - epic river day trip

#1

Post by dawidloubser »

Hi Guys,

This is super short notice!

My regular right-hand gal - both in life, and in the Unimog (It's left-hand drive :P ) - is feeling under the weather.
Doing an epic day trip tomorrow (Sat 2 Jun 2018) in a dry riverbed with a bunch of other serious off-roaders.

If anybody fancies to be my co-pilot for a day of crazy off-roading, you'll have to either meet me:
  • 05:30 in Rivonia / Bryanston area, or
  • 07:00 in Brits (on the R566)
PM me, and I'll send you my mobile phone number.

Dawid. Ek sal aanraai dat die persoon jou in Rivonia kry. Daai is n one way trip soos ek verstaan. As julle sy voertuig by die winkel los, gaan julle moet al die pad terug ry. Daar is ook ander voertuie wat uit Jhb kom en ons is ook n paar van pta af. Persoon is welkom om saam ons ook te ry. Dankie

Dankie Jaco - ek het nie bedoel by die winkel in Buffelspruit nie, maar in Brits self.
Lyk nie of enigiemand saamkom in elkgeval nie, en ek gaan binnekort gaan slaap.
Sien julle more :-)

Not sure how vehicle rolled over ...
but google says Unimogs tilt limit is 38 deg
vs Defenders 40
and L-Cruisers 45 ... 😳 ?

assuming its when CoG moves beyond wheel contact line
then theres a playoff of tilt vs clearance over and above weight distn, height of CoG etc ... so lift adaptions and oversize wheels etc relevant.
