Woman 4×4 driver

At the Bunyip state park & we got stuck in ruts on the Western track so being alone we decided to back out, so I let the woman do the driving,(regretably)

When driving off road, it is important not to place your thumbs on the inside of the steering wheel. When driving over any large ruts or potholes, the wheel could suddenly turn. This may result in the thumb being bruised or even dislocated if it is left inside the rim. Remembering to leave your thumbs on the outside of the steering wheel is a very easy skill to acquire and should become second nature to you. With power steering fitted to most 4×4's these days, this technique is not as critical as the power steering unit dampens out sudden steering wheel movements as well as steering stabilizers. Owners of non-power steering vehicles will have undoubtedly experienced at some time the force at which the steering wheel turns when hitting an obstruction.

    If I was there, I’d have driven off and left his ass. She did a fine job, even with him nattering at her like a buffoon. Somehow I’m thinking that she’s the smart one in that twosome.

    @kowz4u. Gday again kowz4u no its not a law to have aerials on the bullbar, its just that the bar comes with mounts for the aerial and also spotlights. Some people here call em Roobars but most call em Bullbars, most highway trucks here have huge bullbars attached to them and they cause terrible damage to Kangaroos. Cheers again mate…

    I though the bumpers are called a roobars turning aroo into a wasaroo poor roos. But bullbar sounds cool also. Is it a law that the aerials must be on the front bumper. Oh it was sweet to see so many snorkels on so many cars and trucks. hi wife of kingbrude you need a 4wheeler of your own. I love mine.
