KMA4WDC Hardcore 4x4 Challenge 2009

Organizer: KMA4WDC (Kota Marudu Adventist 4 Wheel Drive Club)

Location: Kg Lotong, Kota Marudu

Date: 8-9th March 2009

I was one of the official photographer, and also one of the humble sponsors for the event. I however wasn't able to shoot on the 8th and througout the whole day on the 9th since I was booked for by a couple on the 8th as their wedding photographer. If you were there from Sunday till Monday, you would be able to see some vehicle capsized. I wasn't able to photograph everything, I'm sorry, but here's a bit of what I can share. ENJOY!

Getting Wet And Dirty

Here's another post today on recent Four Wheeling activities by fellow Kota Marudu Adventist Four Wheel DriveClub Members. I really like their wellmade vehicle.
LandRover Defender 110, pickup cut. with 16inch rims,MT117 tyres, Toyota Turbo Engine, Back Air lockinga axle system,Ready for the thrill....
Huh, these tyres aren't suited for this, he should have changed it. anyway, dont look down at the tyres solely, it has B-Turbo engine with good engineering on its built... better watch out...

Kota Marudu Adventist 4WD Club

The Best Four Wheeler of the Day... We headed straight to the Kota Marudu-Goshen river to have a look at the "playing" spot for that eve. I have been missing most of the clubs activities since early this month. This time i'm not letting go, chances should be grabed,so that was what i did. After the gotong-royong of the club members to built the new building that will act as the Clubs office, we were so eager to test our offroad driving skills.

Mr James, a.k.a Echo79, went first with his BJ40 into one of the deadly no enter spot. You know what to look out when there is only sand+water-rocks coz you surely get stucked.

To race the engine more is just like digging your own tomb. so Racing the FUel Pedal is a Great NO when youre stuck on SAND and MUD.

There where about 6 vehicles who played today... one of them is mine.A Suzuki with upgraded turbo-diesel engine. Lightweight and size is always a great advantage in offroad challanges. Mr Lawrance Bingku and a friend Mr Jackin (oops,sorry if i mispelled)
Hurm, a beautiful scene of Kota Marudu River and ofcourse, my LandRover110.
I was also stucked in the Mud... Winch is always a VERY useful recovery tool.Hey, at first it was me... And now when i'm out, the other guy purposedly jump in the trap, just to have some fun...
By the way, we are not only having fun. THis is PART of our Training. We might face such obstacle in the future, by then, we are READY.
another simple obstacle.... for well trained people. Yet, if you dont have good tires... erm, its like having a nail without a hammer...
