The drive down from Qld to Norms place was not the best way to start a trip …
Leaving home at 4PM was good as i missed the traffic but just before Ballina on a short steep hill there was a highway patrol vehicle hiding and as the truck picked up speed for a very short time with the throttle off … yep, you guessed it

Tip:

When using the 4x4's brakes hard, your vehicle’s front suspension compresses and you ‘use up’ most of its suspension travel. When braking heavily to avoid an obstacle e.g. pot hole or rut, and you cannot stop in time, release the brake pedal just prior to hitting the obstacle. This will allow the front suspension to return to its normal height and give more suspension travel when hitting the obstacle.
