Off Road - Newbie Tour
A brand new day and brand new weather. Now the clouds have filled the sky and high winds are in the charts. Best to be heading back as soon as possible.
Halldor's Hilux looks kind' a cool with last days slush frozen on the underside.p>

The river is still pretty deep and drowning the 38 inch tires on the Nissan Patrol.

...and Halldor also.
After a few kilometers of easy driving a new task comes along. Hinriks rear left Toyo tire falls off the rim on both the outside and inside. The aluminum wheels have only a limited space around the bolts and it takes a lot of time and heating to remove them.
This is the forth time a Toyo tire falls in a tour where I go - and the second where this same tire falls off for Hinrik. Can't say I recommend these - at least not for airing down.
After the tire is free, it can be secured on the inner side and then the outside using a powerful air condition pump.
As the days are short we soon run out of daylight and with a real snow storm blowing the visibility is low. Still we get back safely.
Thanks to Einar and Bessi for the organization of this action packed tour!
Saturday - Sunday
