yeah, its not likely to be fixed imo. . . i spent half the day reading yesterday, hacking it and taking it off terry is easy'ish, but quite illegal. and i dont think anything has changed his mind about letting it go. so it wont happen. forum software is 3years old!

Lets pull together and make a go of it here fellas. ill put my name down as a stay, if the other forum goes down. . . . .
lets save what we need to and get on with it.

found an old pic.

love low gu's on 37's. this is with over half a ton in it.

been out driving it a bit. . . . also had to buy a set of roadies. front treps are nearly stuffed. 4,000km old.

started wiring up my winch. cant wait to try it out.

Got winch in. . . and most flares on. . . .

took it for a drive.

Amazing new invention, big improvement on electric windows. . . . . these work even with the key turned off!

united Australia? uniform road rules, uniform civil laws, less bureaucratic, -it will never happen. makes to much sense.

cleaned it up enough today to take some rough pics. still heaps to go cleaning it.

my dog(
) comes everywhere with me. even if i go to Melbourne for a day shopping he comes. he comes with me to Sydney, and works every day that i do. as his environment is constantly changing he needs to learn new boundaries very quickly. downside is the poor coot thinks his name is 'back', haha. im working in an old folks home atm renovating bathrooms. he just hangs around, scabs food off the other tradies, and sits in a spot where i put him when i need him to stay. i took him to work 2nd day i had him.
he only ever gets a bit rebellious if he hasn't been exercised enough.

its "upper middle creek road" yinnar south. near the hippy house.

livingston track has some nice tracks off it, morwell river road up the top around the prison farm, and further south are good.
that is where this is from.

C'MON!!!! i want 2,000 hits. . . . that will mean every member on this forum has looked at this thread an average of 6 times!

OK, a little childish.

Got it home! Put my wheels on it.

does it need explanation?

No worries dean, that reminds me iv gotta pull it off.

Bought some bits today , still getting ready for the build.
Iv decided to go with the ARB airlocker again , im not sure why, it was an honest 50/50 either way, but i had to get the build done at 2 shops if i went with Eaton. . . easy to just do one shop build because of the forum trip being so close. Sad excuse i know, and ill still try to do an Eaton one day soon.
So anyway, here's what i got sorted today.

Paid for Front ARB airlocker Here's whats in the box..


Paid for bearing/seal rebuild kit.
Paid for drop boxes.
Paid for diff brace/lamination kit.
Got king smoothie canister bolt-in kits.

Paid for 80 series bumpstops and mounts front and rear.


Found some radius arm bushes.
Paid for big ARB air compressor.

Try the e-locker, at least then you'll know how well, or not, it works. Afterall, you're only going to sell the Patrol anyway, so it'll provide a good test bed for future.

Cheers

count the gears.

Iv been on the forum since 2008, joined as jacket_1985 in 09 and started posting, you have to be patient with some of the guys, benno is alright.

If the comment bothered you, i would have had a go at benno, not the forum.

I stopped identifying myself when receiving calls years ago. Rude b@stards! "hello", "Is Mr. twisty there?", "who's calling please", "i'm calling for Mr. twisty", "I know, who are you?", "I will identify myself to Mr twisty, is he there?", "you called a private number, who are you?", and so on. Entertainment for a short time only.

oh ... and I had one of those scam calls telling me they could fix my windowzz operating system. Now that was fun! Had them on the phone for half an hour pretending to do all they asked. Pretended something went wrong and had a "supervisor" call back to "fix" the "problem". Another 15 minutes of fun before they realised what I was doing. "click". ahh ... memories.
