Team-BHP Support ![]() ![]() | ![]() Wow, I don't recall seeing this place. Going by the position of the Sun, I think this happened after she took a diversion. She was right behind me and the Jeep I was driving ran out of diesel, thereby blocking people behind me. After 10 minutes of wait, she took a diversion.

Team-BHP Support ![]() ![]() | ![]() Most of our Jeeps (10+ years) don't qualify for comprehensive insurance, we mostly have liability/third-party only. The newer ones have normal insurance, I doubt any Indian insurance company provides offroading insurance. We are on our own. |

BHPian ![]() | ![]() It was my first OTR driving my own Jeep and I am very happy about the way my LHD Willys CJ3B performed. There were lots of learnings and unlearnings for me. Appreciate the guidance that Samurai, Sreeraj, Mjothi, Jammy and others gave me ![]() Here are some pics that my friend(who accompanied me) clicked: Giri's Classic attempting to climb the first obstacle ![]() Mr.Srinivasan's Armada trying the same ![]() 4x4s lined up just before the first obstacle ![]() This incline was the very first challenge on my very first OTR. It required the right balance of momentum, choosing correct lines, gearing and throttle to clear this. Although I had read that I was not to use the clutch, it was very difficult to get over not using the clutch inspite of repeated advice from experts. Finally, I cleared the incline in my fourth attempt and like Sreeraj has mentioned, in every attempt, I learnt something new ![]() Pavan's Beetle crossing the stream ![]() RedLiner pondering about the strategy to use to negotiate the incline ![]() Sreeraj in action ![]() ![]() Tanzim in his B-Willys (Baleno Engine, Gypsy gearbox and diffs) ![]() Rainmaker (Vivek HB) in his CJ3B ![]() CONTD... |

BHPian ![]() | ![]() Mukund coming down an incline, followed by me ![]() ![]() Tanzim got stuck in this spot and had to be pulled out. I have seen this B-Willys in two other OTRs and this was the first time I am seeing it getting stuck. A very nicely engineered/modified jeep, the problem was with lot of loose sand in the stream. ![]() Same spot, this chap damaged his Scorpio by entering the stream at very high speeds. It looked to me like he had lost control and hence the speed, I hope I am right. Needless to say, the Scorpio got stuck badly and had to be pulled out by the Endeavour ![]() ![]() I decide to take the watery path too and it was my turn to get stuck next. We got it unstuck by just moving the Jeep forwards and backwards. Thanks to the excellent advice and spotting by Mjothi, Sreeraj, Jungleboy and everyone there ![]() ![]() Last edited by S@~+#0$# : 4th March 2009 at 01:03. |
