Just took a look at mine and the top and bottom hinges appear to be different to each other so I can't see why the bottom left would suit the top right and visa versa?

LOL! Good luck with that!

Bump.........

A whole lotta junk in the trunk!

Can't wait to see how it turns out.

That's bad luck, maybe head further down Canunda way?

Beach looks a little treacherous in that pic....Good Luck!

For the most part there is nothing challenging about the border track save a small section here and there that can easily be bypassed.

Another thumbs up for the Aldi Solder kit! cheers.

I'm more worried about tearing the flares off than anything, and of course the higher gearing that comes with a larger circumference tyre.

....just myself and my son on the way home from the footy. The track seemed OK, a little slushy in spots but plenty of grip beneath so I hadn't locked the auto hubs or deflated the STT's at all and we were just chatting away not particually paying attention. Before I knew it, the climb up out of the gully I had just mindlessly entered was a lot steeper and slippery than I had given it credit and we weren't going anywhere. I tried reversing, but the GU just slewed to the side and before we knew it we were at a diagonal angle and in trouble, so it was out to let the tyres down and have another go... ...all I achieved was sliding further back down into the gully, so I powered it up in reverse in the hope that it might put me partially up the other side for another run up.... How wrong, we were now off the track in the muddy creek at the bottom and stuck in clay up to the rear diff! To cut to the chase, it took four full length cable pulls from the Aldi winch to get us to the point where there was enough traction to keep moving, lesson learnt! (well several really) If I had gone into it prepared I would have more than likely made it through without much drama, I was halfway up the hill initially with tight tyres and in high range, but the tyres I think are the main weakness, they are now at 50% and really only good for day to day and sand work, and once STT's fill with clay they are next to useless anyhow. So it's time to bite the bullet and buy some play tyres for winter that offer extremely good grip in mud and clay, but as I only have 2" lift and run standard ratio diffs I don't want to go over 33". What would the recomendation be, simex or silverstone extemes and how much improvement will I expect considering I won't be gaining any ground clearance?

One of these days I will have to work out how to pull off the pillar covers in a GU and do exactly that.

Looked like fun.

It only works for a while, but a good wash with warm soapy water seems to help, some silicon spary around the slot also helps.

Evidently most fags leave them attached so they can go back for seconds.
