Ooom :)
So that LITTLE obstacle you spoke about, was my first obstacle!!! So understand that not doing anything like that before was quite the task for me :) So took a little getting used to... As the day went on, i realised that the Patrol only really needed me for steering and brakes, lol. WOWOWOW What an amazing car..
Well ive posted all the pics that I have, waiting for the guys to send more..

eINA...BLIKSEM... but as they say ...the glass is also half full.... fantastic experience gained... small damage considering what could have happened. Those soft plastic bumpers are a bit (soiled baby nappy) 
... I worry about mine too....its just a question of time before this becomes my problem too. The glue trick will help as a temp solution though.
But hey ... congrats on your achievement !!!!!!!!!!!!!

Also, consider "getting stuck" to give you an excuse for buying new tires.
This sort of thing can get very creative (and very expensive.)

Hi Margo
I have spent the last week just looking at mud, while you have actually played in it! Well done.

Mmmm ok, so getting the car assessed tomorrow, will see if i can get the panelbeaters to give me steel bumpers?
As for the tires, i still have plenty tread on the current ones and have a spare set in the zozo hut :) (not brand new, but with more than enough tread on)
The Troll LOVED getting all dirty in the mud hahahaha....

Hi Margo
How old are those tires in the Zozo?
Keep in mind that tires have a "throw away by date", after 5 years the rubber gets hard and tires become unsafe.
