[Khamul]

The ARB lockers are the way to go - been proven in many many trials and have always come through with flying color. The ARB compressor though seems to leave alot to be desired from what I've read...



Dude... u need to slow down though!!!!! We are trying to catch up to you!

[brianwidahl]

front locker would defiantly do wonders...

and ill get him to fab up an emblem for you just let me know when you got the cash

Welcome aboard Mike.



Waiparous has a bit of everything, but it shouldn't be any trouble for a stock deuce. There's a few mud pits along the way that can be sticky if you're just running all terrain rubber, but there's almost always enough room to go around them. It's recommended that you take off the side steps as they tend to drag a lot in the muddy sections and can get damaged easier then most people would think. You're also gonna want to set aside a few bucks for a thorough wash after...



There's only a few things that you absolutely need:

a Hummer (or a reasonable hand drawn facsimile)

a lunch

a few cold refreshments of your choice

and a sense of adventure.



The amount of support gear others bring varies; but I usually carry the following:

30,000 lb recovery strap

4 x 7/8" shackles

2 shovels

Axe

Squeegee

Fuel 20L extra

Water 20L

Coolant 4L

Oil

Wrenches and Sockets

Spare fan belt

Rubber boots

Change of clothes

Sleeping bag

Booster cables

Jumpstart Battery

Onboard Air Compressor

First Aid Kit

Gloves

Bottle Opener

Pink Skate Laces

Still Camera

Video Camera

GPS

Ipod

and a few other things I'm probably forgetting.



The group is pretty laid back so you shouldn't have any trouble keeping up and everyone is always more than helpful if you do have a problem.

Hey Mike, I wheeled my stock H3 a few weeks ago in Waiparous with the tiny 32" tires on intermediate trails, so I'd have to say you'd have no problems with a stock H2.



The only thing I can add is, be prepared for a few minor scratches as it's not always possible to avoid the tree branches. Nothing a little wax won't take out but it's bound to happen. When considering things to bring just keep in mind your comfort and safety!



Other than that it's waaaay too much fun!!

All sounds great. My oldest daughter is moving out on that weekend so if she is moved in by the first then me and the Mrs. should be there.
