Glad you both were OK mate, it amazes me the amount of people who as soon as they get off-road do not wear their seat belt..........you had a good reason, but others don't.
If any members require assistance in anything regarding this forum, just let me know via a PM and I will help you in any way that I can.

Everything was a write off and all was covered by insurance so started all over again with the gq shorty in my profile pics and then bought the other gu. A tip I was given after it was to carry a peg in your car so if you do need to take your seatbelt off you put the peg on the belt before the retractor and it stops it from going back in and no matter what angle your on you can always put your belt back on.
