Hello All,

 

Greetings from South Africa home of the Springboks, biltong, braai's, camping and 4x4ing. I was stunned to find out there was a dedicated IO forum around as they are not freely found in SA and not one have been lifted as far as I know. Hope to gather alot of info and will help as far as I can. Fielies

Cheers 4 eers

Its a rally that our local

Its a rally that our local 4x4 club helds every year. For the locals its a big things as 1500 people attended it last year with 85 vechicle entered. Myself and another came 22 & 23 respectfully in the open class out of 85 vechicles. This includes custom jeeps & toyota's as well. Here a couple pics of what happened.

Hehe. It was fun. I was 23rd!

Hehe. It was fun. I was 23rd! Managed to wedge myself between a wall and a tree on the last obstacle, and Fielies managed to finish, and overtake me on points! Hehe is some more pics of "Gooi Mielies" Roughly translated to throw corn/maize! Haha.

 

Almost "sank" my IO!!

 

 

When in doubt, hit it flatout!

 

Mud bath.
