How's it going mate, my patrol sits at 2750kg Tare on the average she weighs in around 3500kg and then more again when heading away.

I am pulling around the 20l/100km on 35" MTs and around 17l/100km on factory tyres

Really? Thats what i'm getting now but considering you have about 600kgs of accessories and added wind resistance.. Top build anyway mate!

Decided to head out for a play today,
The recent rains have made the tracks that bit more challenging.

The first hill of the day saw me destroying a sway bar link. You will hear it go in the vid .

Had an awesome day out there, now I'm about to pack the rig for a photo shoot with Graham for 4wda

Not a bad weekend of wheeling

Another top day out on the tracks,
I was lucky enough to spend it with an absolute guru.



While graham was getting his shots I tried to get a few pics of the rear flexing by holding my phone out of the drivers window, these were the best I could get

G'day Russ,

Superior make very good gear!

Hopefully next year or 2015 we might catch up for a beer and a chat!

PS, have you thought about transferring your thread from (Mechanical) to the Members rides area, that way everyone can share your pride and joy?

Regards,

Paul
