Hi Brimhunter you can go to Karajini any time of the year summer is hot 45 48 Celsius
How ever you probably will not get up to the Gibb river or the cape till winter as the roads will be closed for the wet season
as I am sure you do not want to end up as Croc bait trying to cross rivers hope this helps Gazza

If you look at popular 4x4 forums you'll find that BT50's have a bull bar mounting point problem.

Lots of them completing the Gibb with their bull bar on the roof rack.

 You have made that point before, but in my travels down the GRR I did not see any bull bars on the roof.

I am a member of several BT50 forums and have yet to see any comments re issues with bull bar mounting points.

If I am wrong on this, please point me in the direction to find out more.

I understand what you say about the Bull bar on the Gibb
This issue was fixed quite a while ago
This comment didnt actualy have anything to do with my original question.
i have noticed this before while a Member asks a question someone has to digress
Brimhunter

I dont think DD has digressed far from the topic.

Have a gander at this, there are plenty around 2012 but I would hope they have fixed the problem.

 That only details one event of a bar coming loose. Where are all those reports of bars on rood racks? From that thread there were problems with 2012 fitted bars.  Mazda had fixed the problem. This is similar to the Nissan Patrol problems - in that case there were only a couple of years of production with problems. The later ones were OK but the usual suspects keep throwing up the "Patrol grenade" problem. Get over it you blokes and report on the current situations.

i would suggest DD made his statement to cause an argument of sorts and i guess he succeeded if the guy had bought a navara we could of all jumped on him and told him of all the bent chassis rails out there he asked about the time to go north if you cant give him an answer why carry on with other dribble

The detractors have once again, achieved what they needed and that is to drag a simple question into something that has nothing to do with the original question.
It happens with regular monotony on here and the one concerned in this instance is very good at doing it.
For the worse, others unfortunately have supported him.
What these recalcitrants need to realise that there are many readers on here that may have been interested in the experiences of other members who CAN provide some sound information with regard to the original queries.

If you cant contribute with related replies to the questions then leave the topic alone so that others may benefit.
You should be ashamed of yourselves.....

"You should be ashamed of yourselves....."

"recalcitrants"

 

Abuse  not necessary. Please stay on topic. You are not answering the OP question

        Thats telling em Dicko.....

 Sounds like Sunday school to me Did DD really say any thing that bad its awonder I have lasted this long 

I have tried GRR in May- fantastic, April - closed between Home Valley and Derby, August -dry, busy and terrible roads.
Found it amusing to see some of the comments. When I first read the post, I was too quick, and saw the heading (Just got my New BT50), and saw the last sentence (any pointers)
A bit of discussion took place, no swearing or bullies, some observations by a few, but all quite tame.
I do not see why any member would have been upset by the comments.
If you were, just learn how to scroll on by and get over it.

 Yeah, I agree.

 

Thank goodness he didn't buy a Jeep

 He would have to buy a bigger boat.

Yep, I'll try to ignore the moral police and the assumers of members trying to create an argument when he isnt on this occasion in my opinion and I'm entitled to my opinion. That doesn't mean I'm nasty. Have a good and healthy 2019 everyone

---

 Not involving moral police but more just a lack of respect from some....

For goodness sake the OP asked quite politely in both the 5th and 8th post to please refrain from the bull bar information as he clearly knew about it but NO....some had to go on and on even after it was stated that the problem was from 6 years ago.

Totally agree that anyone is entitled to their opinion but as a forum it should be ON THE TOPIC ENQUIRY, and not dragged into senseless banter by supporting someone that has on numerous accessions set out deliberately side track a topic.

To continue on after the OP has twice requested that he did not want the topic dragged to suit someones agenda is just rudeness, it has nothing to do with the moral police or anyone else.

I have read and re read the OPs enquiry and I could not for the life of me find anywhere in it where he said he was fitting a bull bar let alone asked any question about one.

Unfortunately it happens too frequently on here.

I might add as well, that adding a link to another caravan web site on this open forum may be breaching forum rules.

Have a Happy New Year and respect the OP in all topics by keeping replies on topic.

Eaglemax,
no one is saying you were or are nasty!
The comment was a general observation of this forum over the last year or so.
My comment should be kept in context please.

Avoid the Gibb River Road from 19 to 23 May 2019 due to the charity bike race for the Royal Flying Doctors. I have met someone who has done the race & she thoroughly enjoyed it.
