Looks good Yobbo but there are 4 inflated tyres on this one.

Still a good beast.

And it's Broken!!

Working Bee on the Patrol. Yobbo supplies the grog, food and sleeping accommodation. We can fix it if he supplies the parts

[Walkabout]

Nice rig mate, hey if your putting on BBQ, drinks and bed for the working bee I could always head up to supervise the works and drive the team though as it gets hot up there would require copious amounts of spirited hydration

Worked out why she ended up being only 3 wheel drive at the end of the last day trip




Looked even more impressive once we had it out. Shouted the old girl a new set of king pin bearings on that side while she was apart.

Impressive, any shrapnel damaged besides the CV

Nope all good just cleaned it all out and in with another CV & shaft. Put new king pins bearings in this time as the others were knackered but I didn't have a set when I changed the seals back in Jan.

Still a few things to do and she will be back on the tracks I reakon I am still a month or so off hitting the tracks myself.
