    In all honesty, would any good folks out there be keen for a weekend throughout our closed Vic winter tracks months to learn more?
    I know I would with all the new age rope snatch pulley systems kindly suggested on this forum here etc..

    What would it take to get a crew together with a weekend & hills testing teacher to learn splicing them monkey fist thingymebob’s safely?

    Anyone interested?

    The only good thing about an 80 series is..... the front end?? Wrong!!, the Engine?? Wrong!! the Full Time 4WD system?? Wrong!! Its the NissanPatrol.com.au stubby holder fitted over the transfer lever.

    Depending on group size was thinking the shack mate? If it were to grow with interest maybe a Marquee?
    No coin weekend required but possibly a chip in for an MOQ big spool of rope and craftsmen attending take away their creations?

    Yeah thats what I was thinking, maybe @MudRunnerTD should show that Fid he made
    so everyone can fashion one for themselves.
