Agreed. I'll get it dirty soon, just got to organise a few mates and we'll head out for some fun. Or I could just drive it on the job site tomorrow, that way it'll be brown by the end of the day cos this place I'm at now is a bog hole.

I went for a bit of a drive in the mountains today in search of some snow but the road I was going to take was closed. I did see a big bunch of cars heading in the same direction but because I'm a noob with next to no gear I didn't end up jumping on the end of them. So I just cruised around some of the more easy tracks. I found a hill decent which was pretty cool and kinda hairy for a first timer but I'm alive!
Here's a pic with a bit of mud on the tyres lol

Went for a bit of a wheel with some mates over the weekend. I'll put up some more pics when I get them.
We went to Deua National Park and stayed at one of the campsites over night. We didn't do a great deal of driving but we did go to Dry Creek (which isn't very dry), across it and headed up Merricumbene Fire Trail. I've now worked out that I need to spend a few grand on my car. I need some rock slider bars as I bent the factory alloy sidesteps, a 2 inch lift, snorkel, transfer case and gearbox bash plates, compressor and steel wheels. All in all for a reasonably stock rig it handled the climbs very well and at no point was I ever worried about not making it.

Deua has some great trails. A family friend of ours has a cabin in a big clearing right on the Deua River. We used to stay there heaps and explore all the trails around the park. Some scary tracks about if you go looking far enough! lol

Good on you for getting it out there 
some solid sliders should help you out, if you get more serious, get some H/T's or A/T's AND some (33?) M/T's so you can have silent driving in town and serious traction off road ends up cheaper in the long run, but depends how often you feel the need to go off-road without notice or how many times a week/month. Lift would be my priority as it will keep your bash guards from having to be used as much

On the fire trail. Pics are poor res to save download issues.
Found a little mud hole and decided to drive through it at speed lol.
First water crossing. There's something unnerving about intentionally driving into a river for the first time. I had to take the easy shallow line as I don't have a snorkel but a mate in his Triton went first and straight across had water lapping at the leading edge of the bonnet
