Hi all,

Well for some time now my lovely partner has been asking me for a bigger car than the R31 Wagon that some of you may know and i have always put her of saying "The Skyline is fine..You cannot fault it" anyways.... The other day i found myself a 1992 NH ( i think ) Pajero LWB in astonishing condition for its age with 251XXX kms on board for $3300 with rego and a RWC.. i thought to myself that it was an absolute steal and being on the Bayside so close to the Islands I swiftly bought the car.

On sunday i packed up the brood and the BBQ and went from Kerry ( south of Beaudesert ) to O'rielys the back way up "Duck Creek Rd" and then today went from Boonah to Killarney on "Condamine gorge rd"..

What a Blast!! i think i have found another form of motoring passion.

So as thread states who knows any tracks in SE QLD and who else loves having a bit of a fun in the mud?? Keen to hear :ninja:

you could take a ford focus through half of the glass house mountains...

take a 4x4 to jimna, landcruiser park or mount mee state forest and go nuts...

Thanks guys..Yeah not after Monster truck stuff but dont want dirt roads....Anything that is fun and challenging..i have a "snatchy" and a shovel. keen for fun

driving on sand dunes is illegal

you can drive up to double island point via the beach nd then go inland to tin can bay via a nice little track...

PS> Landcruiser park is broken into 4 sections, main roads (any car can make these tracks), green (soft 4x4's and AWD's), yellow (more serious 4x4's with low range like patrols and land cruisers) and then red tracks (which is for drivers with big nuts or custom built 4b's)...

You can also camp there, make a weekend out of it... Tis loads of fun...

Also they have a bit call the pig pen, its mud holes and water holes, loads of fun to go driving through...

John , Take the Mt Lindsay hwy ,turns to dirt after woodenbong,

camp at Bald rock(huge granite rock -good climb)

then go over to boonoo boonoo national park follow

some supurb fire trails back up to woodenbong (map would be good).

Heaps of fire trails of varying mud surface around woodenbong/urbanville

(just watch out for us wild dirt bikers coming the other way).

Up near Crows Nest Go to Hampton info centre get a map ,

shows heaps of 4wd tracks around the area , 1 good one went

from there come out at the look out (ravensbourne) going through

some cool rainforst.

The back way to spicers gap(past cunnigham's gap) is usally chopped up

which makes it interesting (not a bad walk at the end) Entrance gate can

be hard to spot though.

Upper portals is great picnic spot then take white swamp road up to Queen

Mary Falls.

Woodford has heaps of fire trails and mud holes (again watch 4 crazy D B ) :thumbsup:

See ya gettin muddie one day (shinny side up of course )

I dont know what tracks your talking about in the glass house mountains but you havent seen the 'real glass house mountain tracks.Get onto on particular spot that us locals know it as hel hill,no if you can get up that without rolling it then you get appaulse. :D

Saw this thread and never ended up replying.. anyway am now!

Next time we go for a drive to Ormeau I'll let you know.

Like Col said - any of those four wheel drive parks are awesome - you can always not do the crazy stuff!

Some of my adventures:

Fraser 2003

Fraser 2004

Moreton 2005

West Mount Cotton 2005 (Closed now I think)

Inskip 2006

Mount Tamborine 2006 (Wouldn't be able to find this again)

City View 4x4 Park 2007

Inskip 2007

Inskip 2007 again

Straddie 2007

Ormeau 2008

Double Island 2008

Burbank 2009

Straddie 2009

Fraser 2009

Freshwater & Rainbow 2009

Ormeau 2009

and now to the USEFUL advice - if you want a good list of possible places to go I can highly recommend this book: Dirty Weekends

I just took my bush basher ford falcon up there and had a ball. There were a ton of 4wd's there so I'm assuming there is some serious tracks there somewhere. But it was fun driving 80's an hour in a car with no traction,esp or abs. Most of the time the car was sideways. Mad FUN :down:)))))

Yeah i have been up there, Is great However i am closer to morteon so if i am going to do beach work i will head over there and have fun, Thanks for all the local ideas though! Will give them a shot..Going to try Spicers on saturday i think then SAU on sunday!!! WooT!

    • Hi, is the HKS  Tower Bar still available ? negotiable ? 🤔
    • From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
    • Place the new daughterboard in the case and mount it using the 3 small black rivets provided, and reconnect the 3 factory ribbon cables to the new board Then, use the 3 piggyback cables from the daughterboard into the factory board on top (there are stand offs in the case to keep them apart. and remember to reconnect the antenna and rear cover fan wires. 1 screw to hold the motherboard in place. Before closing the case, make a hole in the sticker covering a hole in the case and run the cable for the android unit into the plug there. The video forgot this step, so did I, so will you probably. Then redo the 4 screws on back, 2 each top and bottom, 3 each side and put the 2 brackets back on.....all ready to go and not that tricky really.      
    • Onto the android unit. You need to remove the top screen because there is a daughterboard to put inside the case. Each side vent pops out from clips; start at the bottom and carefully remove upwards (use a trim remover tool to avoid breaking anything). Then the lower screen and controls come out, 4 screws, a couple of clips (including 3 flimsy ones at the top) and 3 plugs on the rear. Then the upper screen, 4 screws and a bunch of plugs and she is out. From there, remove the mounting brackets (2 screws each), 4 screws on the rear, 2 screws top and bottom and 3 screws holding in the small plates on each side. When you remove the back cover (tight fit), watch out for the power cable for the fan, I removed it so I could put the back aside. The mainboard is held in by 1 screw in the middle, 1 aerial at the top and 3 ribbon cables. If you've ever done any laptop stuff the ribbon cables are OK to work with, just pop up the retainer and they slide out. If you are not familiar just grab a 12 year old from an iphone factory, they will know how it works The case should now look like this:
    • Switching the console was tricky. First there were 6 screws to remove, and also the little adapter loom and its screws had to come out. Also don't forget to remove the 2 screws holding the central locking receiver. Then there are 4 clips on either side....these were very tight in this case and needed careful persuading with a long flat screw driver....some force required but not enough to break them...this was probably the fiddliest part of the whole job. In my case I needed both the wiring loom and the central locking receiver module to swap across to the new one. That was it for the console, so "assembly is the reverse of disassembly"
