    Roku was amazing! Especially sitting there with a cold one. That rain on the Bamaga rd was fun! Just missed you at the BP at Bamaga but you saw the rest of our crew. Fun times crossing that river. Love the adventures you all have! Can’t wait to get to Finke next year.

    That was a GWM Ute and they have actually decent running gear. 8 speed ZF gearbox, Borg Warner transfer case and Harrop rear locker. They are also legal for 33s. Seen a few crawl up rocks easy.
