The soil in that area is quite sandy the bog hole at the start of the event was just a muddy rut. We were the last but one of 40 trucks to do that stage and by then the hole was as you can see arm pit deep:shaking:

How water/weather proof are they?
Where can I get one? Whats the brand, name etc?
Edit - I see the ARB sticker, but is it an ARB product?
Thanks!

Yep they are ARB (space case) products and I belive they are water/weather and bulldust proof think they come in blue too Designed to bolt on to trays. I live 5 miles from their factory:D
Very solid and well made too, Top gear. no idea of a stockest in USA but happy to pick one or two up and ship them for you direct from Factory if needed.

ndeepoffroad 10-27-2006, 12:05 PM Sweet Pics....been awhile since my Cruiser was sunk up like that. I work with a guy from New Zealand and he tells me that they have kick ass mud like that over there. What would the freight be to haul a 4x overseas to wheel the haul it back home? Probably more than the vehicle's even worth.
Kristoffer 10-29-2006, 12:18 PM the fear of landing upside down in the mud, or being cought inside, keeps me from doing stunts like that.
