Thanks NotGumby and yes I think there are a few out there - point I was trying to make was should OB members should using some standard to show the difficulty.... personally I like the idea of symbols rather than numbers and that a “double black diamond” even sounds really hard
FYI here’s the...
Yes I’m thinking if OB take this up as some sort of de facto standard and with OB’s growth and international reach, especially with other national 4x4 associations, it could possibly become an international 4x4 standard and eventually make its way to a standard key on maps.... mwahaha
I know "do your planning", "be prepared" and "keep it simple" are all good mantra's in 4wd'ing but how can you tell from a map the degree of difficulty a track is? Also, someone's "easy" maybe someone else's extremely difficult - what do we measure this by?
Here's a track grading classification...
...took the young fella to the doctors to get his p2006 “Intake manifold runner control stuck closed bank 1” error warning looked at again. They’ve kept him in overnight but I can visit in the morning.
Good luck buddy....you can do it!!
My truck is going on a diet too as it’s carrying way too much weight for a healthy fuel consumption and suspension sometimes feels the strain
As a thoroughly rubbish photographer anything that would improve my photographic shortcomings is truly appreciated. This video was simple and inspirational - thanks Michael really appreciated.
Here’s my first go using the free mobile version with a before and after...

Update:
I have just come back from a weekend 4wd trip I had organised to a nearby State Forrest. This was the first time I have organised and led an expedition convoy and arriving early at the rally point waiting for the rest of the group to arrive....I had a cigarette - it was horrible. So I...
After close on a pack a day for 40 years I finally quit smoking.
Aside from the health benefits the money I’ve saved in a little over a month has already paid for my trucks ARB underbody protection, diff breathers, and a drawer system
Check this out folks.....

In Australia most use Hema Map which is a pay service. But there are others like Memory-Map (http://memory-map.com.au/mapping-software.html) that have pretty good free gps apps that allow us to track our routes using the state topo maps that are free.

Front Runner have an Aussie site and your Gong rellies can order any front runner products from there. Their kit and accessories look good and I did think about FR before going Rhino - good look.
Nb I miss my Donny in the Park race weekends. Plenty of motorheads there so TJM should do well...
Sorry Mate not sure if this helps you. I do pop into the Ironman stores when I’m splashing out on the truck but end up choosing another brand.
I.e there rated recovery points and bull bars looked good quality for the price but I ended up paying the extra and went ARB in the end because ARB’s...
As a newbie I am eagerly awaiting my new OB emblem my thoughts turn to where should I put it on the truck....you know life is good when these are the things that occupy my mind :tonguewink:
There's some great ideas here folk thanks - Will post photo when it arrives and it has a home.

Cheers Brett, Nowra is a pretty awesome spot too.
Hey, I’m heading up to Stockton this weekend and I also have a weekend in the Wattagans planned for the first weekend in March, plus a trip to the top end late July/ early August. I haven’t posted them on OB as still a newbie but happy for any...
