Now ill have to put it on the to do list. maybe a once a year thing or maybe every 50K what do you think

[Hodge]

Well, split between happy and angry thread. I'll just put it here I suppose...
Good news is the Patrol won't be sold... yay!!
Bad news, had the meeting at work, and for the moment I'm staying where I am, in fact our future is uncertain after the chinese take over and them building a new "model" for our company, which we'll find out towards the end of the month. Talk about a kick in the face. Get thrown a hint about a car and promotion, and then a week after find out it's the complete opposite and much more sinister than that ...
Oh well.

Runva seem to be well priced and a decent winch to boot.
The Aldi winch has a good wrap as well.

[Rossco]

I wouldn't go the Aldi one IMO. Not sure if winnies still got his old ironman or if its for sale but that's a bloody good winch.

I sold that to my brother in law, to be honest mate it was disappointing to see inside that winch. It was full of water and had started to rust. Not enough grease in it.
My mate has an aldi winch and while it hasn't let him down yet he has only used it once and it is extremely noisy.

I reckon cheapish low mounts are a bit hit and miss, can be a bit of a gamble how they perform. Runva seem to be making a good name for themselves.

[nissannewby]

There are some interesting pictures of winches and the state they are in after 12 months on the other forum. Surprisingly the rydge ryder one from supercheap came up the best. Looked like brand new with the grease still retaining its colour and the seals kept water and dirt out.

Runva wasnt in there but theu had pictures of warn, tigers and supercheap items

[threedogs]

Cant you upgrade an Aldi winch with all the good bits and still have a great winch

Warn make good winches but they don't seal them very well. Reckon if your going to see water is worth striping and sealing the thing whatever it is.

To water proof my aldi winch, I pumped a lot of silicone into the end, and covered it in a bit of lightly greased glad wrap, taking care to leave the seals and screws exposed. I then just sat the
drum on it and pushed it down a bit. I left it to dry, lifted the drum, peeled the glad wrap off, greased the silicon and whacked it all together. Have done swamp and river crossings and not had a drop of water enter the winch.

[MudRunnerTD]

Have you stripped it down to confirm its knackered? Or is the Solenoid knackered? Did you bench test the winch on a hot wire direct to the motor in each direction?

[katwoman]

Not yet.. Will do it tomoz when I pull it off. Solenoid works, but I think drum is seized.

Edit... drum still moves freely but only by hand. not with remote.

[mudnut]

Hey, TD, what bits can you upgrade in an Aldi winch?

I was asking if it was possible , maybe up grade the solenoids, just put better parts in it

would it be worth while putted an air fitting on the motor side of winch
and pumping a small amount of air in when winching in wet conditions
or before driving river crossing etc

Thanks man.

Grappling is basically an umbrella term for sports like Brazilian Jiujitsu(BJJ for short - yes, sounds like BJ haha) and submission wrestling.

The comp I was training for was a BJJ tournament. It's like Judo only with more of an emphasis on submitting your opponent by making them tap out from either a joint lock or a choke hold.
The match starts off standing, but once it hits the mat is where it gets fun.

It sounds pretty hokey, and you wear jimjams, but it's a lot of fun, keeps you really fit(when you don't detonate your knee like a spud) and is IMO pound for pound the most effective form of self defence you can do.

If it's only a minor/partial tear, I'm hoping it will start to heal up in a couple of weeks, if it doesn't then maybe MRI & surgery.

I have no reason to think of it as being his climax. Rather than building up to it for years & years, I suspect it's just a repeating pattern. This is not the first place where he has been exposed & I very much doubt it will be the last.

I would agree that removing his audience is likely to be the most effective means of dealing with him here , but for that to happen I think we need to go through the process we are going through.

My suggestion, fwiw, is that members be advised that a time limit will be placed on the 'main thread' & thereafter locked. This would give everyone the opportunity to have their say, prevent it from dragging on indefinitely & leaving the record there would provide a resource for others in the same situation as us down the track.

If there were a means of tagging the thread to make it easier for others to find in Google in the future this forum could provide a useful 'public service'.

Wireless remotes are not worth the money you pay, a winch at the best of times has a delay
the remote only makes it delay more.
Do like a few of us have done and fit a winch on/off button

that will save someone shorting your winch out

An example of an open letter to the Mayor of Mansfiled Shire Council

To whom it may concern, I drive a 4wd vehicle and I love to visit your shire to enjoy the beauty of the region.

When I do come to the area, I usually spend a reasonable amount of cash in the local stores.

Of late, I have had a negative experience with local officers of the Victorian Police vehemently trying to defect my 4wd vehicle.

I have read , on social media that a large number of others have had the same negative experience as mine.

The end result is that many people are avoiding your region, resulting in a significant loss of revenue for your local economy.

Regards.

Just on cops attitudes

A few days ago I was driving back to Ballarat from Stawell & was waved down by a cop who's car was parked blocking the hghway at Great Western. He pointed to indicate I should turn right, off the highway, which I did. It appeared there had been an accident on the higway & there was a fair bit of traffic backed. Once off the highway I parked & approached the cop to ask where I should go to re-access the higway. He was setting out witches hats. The young chap was initially quite aggressive in manner, which I ignored & asked where I should go anyway. He then became more reasonable & expained I would need to take a detour of approximately 25kms, reaching Ararat from a different direction.

This is far from my first of such experiences & I am certainly not a threatening looking character. I wonder if part of their training is to present aggressively or just a 'protective' behaviour picked up from colleagues. It doesn't seem so prevalent when they are on 'home turf' at a police station. I also wonder how instrumental the attitude is in creating unnecessarily aggravated situations & why there is not more emphasis placed on 'people skills' in their training.

[the evil twin]

Dunno what it would be, Cuppa.

Might be that they have to spend probably 80% of their time dealing with anti-social turds and interacting with one of natures true gentlemen such as you or I takes a moment or two to adjust.

I could never be a Copper... I would have run out of bullets and worn out my Taser within a week.

[Cuppa]

Nature's true gentlemen eh? :)

You make a good point, but from personal experience & from my wife's reports on their behaviour when called to situations involving mentally ill folk their approach certainly causes themselves more grief than they would otherwise experience . Treating everyone as anti social turds must result in a higher incidence of anti social turd-like behaviour.

And once again the conversation turns to shit. :)

This comes as a surprise to me as we have spent a bit of cash in Mansfield as well and have never had a problem with the cops. On the odd occasion we've had any dealings with the cops it's always be positive. Just to keep some balance in the convo.

Normally I don't have an issue either. They are doing their job at pulling people over and pinning them for something they are doing wrong. Fine.

But... When it is clear as daylight they get angry and annoyed that they can't find anything, and then start digging deeper... That's what grinds me big time. It's like I wasted their time for being pulled over and got them no $ ? I mean, it should be a good thing that they found nothing wrong with my car, my license or me (no alcohol or drugs in me), should it not.

Just asking mate. There wasn't any lip involved on your behalf was there?
Cos' that never ever helps things. Just asking.

[Hodge]

Cos' that never ever helps things. Just asking.

I understand the reason for asking, as it seems like the way they acted, there had to have been a bit of fuel on the fire from my end.
But can honestly say, definitely not mate. I'm not the one to have words with them as that just escalates things. No words were raised, and I simply answered anything they asked or requested. License, bretho, lift and tyre size etc...
As like any long weekend, judging by a lot of faceache posts, a lot of people experienced a similar thing. Some came out unlucky...

I guess a positive side of things for me is, now I feel a bit better, as they had trouble pinging me for anything so I can only assume car is more or less legal.
Lucky they didn't have the mobile scales with them. hehe

.Then the light bulb moment the electrodes on my stimulator have either broken or
come loose. Fully juiced up ATM waiting on a call frm the surgeon on where to go to get this fixed
Never ever felt pain like this before, not a happy camper, glad they never broke when I was

Unfortunately the Manfield Police have possibly the worst reputation of any coppers in Vic or anywhere. I would drive an extra 200kms Not to drive through Mansfield. 2am is the only time of the day to enter that town and then you still hope he is not out of bed or your done. The offending officer moved away for a while but is back with a vengence.

No attitude required. You don't even need to be in your car. I know people that have been done while they were parked in the street.

With the Massive influx of young guys buying GQs cause they are cheap, throwing big bucks at them with big lifts and going out and making a mess the community is now well and truly under the spot light.

If you are in a Nissan or Toyota 4x4 you are a marked man. Simple as that! Not sure Pajeros get the same attention.

It's beyond Mansfield now but Mansfield is the Zero Tolerence Bench Mark. They were booking cars of Spectators heading into Noojee to the PatrolAPart Einch Challenge on the weekend. Some very unhappy fellows.

My GQ will be a Night Drive Only car when it's rolling again.

[Winnie]

We were camped at Jorgenson hut on the weekend and the cops came through. They did not say hello to us, but walked around and checked all our tyres out. One guy in our camp has 35s and he got booked for them on the spot.
We did not say a word to them so it had nothing to do with attitude.

Are they on the correct way around ?

Many of the racks these days have that 'owl wing' technology on the rubbers and if you put it back the front it can whistle

Dunno if that applies to yours tho... is there a triangular 'pattern' in the rubbers and are the feet symetrical?

I'll investigate

[threedogs]

Bit of an update no tests yet,but all I know its the most painful thing thats ever happened to me.
Problem is I cant get an MRI as I have an inplant, and also the professor is away till next week.
But boy is it painful, cant move any which way, on a massive amount of meds, they dont seem to
be taking the edge off the pain yet,,,Ill give it another hour can just feel one dose just starting to
kick in GGRRRrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

My back has never been this sore its just constant. Like I said plenty of meds will rest
and see how it goes.

[Touses]

20TH back op! Christ, I am indeed a rank amateur. Somebody find this man some medicinal green!

Trouble is the only thing I can think of is hitting bumps on the way to the supermarket.
I just got knocked back for a suspension seat recently, but I do have a Strato drivers seat
with lumber support which supports me very well.
I need to ring the complaints dept of QBE and have a vent, Ill do that in the morning

[threedogs]

I'll get this here and see how true it turns out, you see Touses after the first operation
all the bone graft fell out of the Kevlar cage and is now growing across my back and attaches
itself to anything in its way. Date of original injury was 18-9-91, first op went pear shaped and
been having op after op to fix all the problems from the first one. Later this week when I get
the CT hopefully that will show that indeed the bone graft is the culprit. they'll operate and Ill be fine
till the bone graft finds another place to cause havoc.

[Touses]

Ok certainly understand the need for 20 ops. It sounds as if you have, most unfortunately, become something of an expert on diagnosing
the troubles with your back. Hope all goes well after ct. Keep chuggin those meds, still reckon some green would help.
Maybe Dial a Dealer. ha ha

Still very painful but the meds are helping, missed MN's call last night
as I wanted to pass out and try and get some sleep.
Now I have to go through all the BS again about getting permission for another
operation, I have a request in already so that will help. Cant put up with this much longer
but plenty of ppl in worse off positions than me, I can still walk and drive painfull as it is.
So minimum movement from now.

Theres is 4140 Chrome molly and the Superior one is 4340. 4340's yield strength is nearly double of 4140. But RR are giving lifetime warranty of their product, which to me says that its strong and the likelihood of bending it is minimal.
Price difference is not a lot too. Not sure which way to go...

Superior used to have a guarantee that you can't break them. No idea if it's still around.

I can get the Superior one today. For the little extra over the RR one, and I can get it today. I think I'll do this. I managed to straighten my bent one to not quite straight but better.

Thats the easiest bit to be honest. Silicon is Hydrophobic so a Wet Finger is your friend. Wet towel in one hand and either clean things off with said wet towel or wet your finger and clean it up with your pointer.

A couple of drops of dishwashing liquid in a cup of water to dip your finger in works great

>>>tappin from tassie

[NigeP62]

There's a number of ways to do it but the easiest way for a handyman to get a good finish is to mask both sides of the joint then fill. Run a dry finger over pushing the silicone into the joint and removing excess.
Remove the tape carefully and then gently run a finger lubricated with soapy water over the top to smooth the lip left by the tape.

Well today has dented my wallet quite a bit to the point I'm nearly contemplating missing the may trip..
Lights started flickering in the shed this morning and then all power lost..
Shed is run from house line so house lost most power to..
Wife comes out and says the fuse box is crackling and popping..
That's not good..
Grab a bit of timber dowel.
Open the box to smoke and popping..
Breaker not tripped, mains still on..
So first thing was trip the breaker and kill the main..
Still popping..
We still had the old ceramic fuse wire setup and it turns out previous owners doubled up the wire..
Fark..
It had melted the wire off the back of the fuse block..
We are so lucky that it burnt out in the box and not the roof..
But still it's $900 as the old setup was toast.. all fittings and screws were stuffed..

Ok the upside it's all proper and up to spec again..

On the downer is we only have 6mm mains cable coming in and a 40A fuse on the house..
So any future shed will mean new mains upgraded to carry the extra load..
And in now $900 down..

Saw the new spinal surgeon today to find out all the previous scans and discograms were done incorrectly and and the reports meant nothing.

Now have to start all the scans again from scratch to get them right and finally (hopefully this time) find out what the hell is wrong and get it fixed.

So any future shed will mean new mains upgraded to carry the extra load..
And in now $900 down..

Insurance?

[Clunk]

Saw the new spinal surgeon today to find out all the previous scans and discograms were done incorrectly and and the reports meant nothing.

Now have to start all the scans again from scratch to get them right and finally (hopefully this time) find out what the hell is wrong and get it fixed.

Just what I need, all the discs being injected and pressurised again, friggen hurt bad enough last time....argh


Never underestimate the power of the tap, let it flow through you.
Let's hope for a better outcome this time mate

[BigRAWesty]

Far out, $900, I know a bulknof this would have been labour but what was replaced?
The whole board and re wired.. the only bits left alone were the meters..

Insurance?
I doubt it.. it was caused by the idiots prior to use..
What angle are you think of though?? It's worth asking.. will save me some cash..

Your switchboard caught fire because of a faulty fuse

[Jonesy_sa]

A couple of drops of dishwashing liquid in a cup of water to dip your finger in works great

I tried just water and it stuck to me and was setting very very quick. I'll add some soap next time. Learning allot the hard way

Yea an old ceramic with fuse wire which had been doubled up..
Not sure how it'll go

Well it would have passed a building inspection before purchase? It should be covered. Its certainly worth the call anyway.

[Cuppa]

Sounds like you were indeed lucky & upgrading is for the best. So you have proper circuit breakers/RCD's now in place of fuses now?

[katwoman]

And on a true angry note WTF is up with new tapatalk app.. Geeze it Sucks. .
No more search function.. you can only search in subforums

And mine now has an ad at the bottom of every page.

Really? What sort of silicone are you using? It shouldn't set too quickly. Definitely dip the finger in then smooth off a 100mm or so, wipe finger on a rag and repeat.

It did have an rcd fitted before hand but it didn't trip due to it not being an earth leakage issue.
But yes now each circuit has its own breaker. .

And mine now has an ad at the bottom of every page.
Been like that for me for a while..

So No go..
They don't cover faulty parts or install. ..
So I'm a bit concerned what the outcome would have been if it did short in the roof....

Well I'm more angry at myself for not paying attention and doing something very stupid.

Out in the shed last night cleaning up and lit the fire to burn some crap off. Threw a old water bottle in the fire that had something in it. It was quite flammable done is little woof now and spat burning liquid on my face...

Ended up in hospital last night but home pretty quick. Very very lucky doc said I escaped with only burning first layer. Equivalent to severe sun burn.

Now behind the healing which sucks so far. Face is all tight and weeping. Got a small patch on my forehead, some on right cheek, tip of my nose and the worst part my top lip.

Stupid stupid mistake not paying attention. Got a feeling it was either metho or something along those lines. It's burnt clear. Still hurt a bit.... 65672

Youch... wanker! hahaha. Lucky it wasn't worse mate. Happy healing

[matfew]

Yeah very lucky no major damage now I just have to suffer till it gets better haha. Got a bit of cleaning up to do in the shed to. Ran inside when it happened then 5 mins later look outside to see some bellowing out of shed. Pills of rags went up. Old couch along with a slab of crownies (no huge loss haha) burnt some air line to a molten puddle to.

1 water extinguisher down n 1 co2 one emptied and it was out. All while trying to cool my face lol. Still can't believe it happened.

Your very very lucky Matt, I've have 3rd degree burns that needed a skin graft, not sure what was worse though the pain or being stuck in hospital for a few weeks.

An old wog thing that my mother still does is peeled and sliced potatoes on the affected area to draw out any heat.

Hahahaha thanks for the moral support fellas. Feeling the love haha. Feeling bit better this arvo. Morning a bit shit with it drying out and cracking. The gel the hospital have me would keep it most but then dry to a hard film which hurt more so back to the ol Vaseline to stop it drying out. Much better now face isn't as tight and feeling like it's shrinking hehe. Although it does look a while lot worse now.

See what tomorrow brings

Chin up dude. roofy's car isn't far from done now. Do you reckon you could travel though? I have to miss out this year as well. I still have to find out what condition the Rocklands Res is like and convince my dad and Bro to go camping there. That makes it a round trip of 400ks instead of 1200ks for me to get to Bearii and back.

[threedogs]

My motor has gone too so need to see if I can patch it again Grrrr
hopefully I can get down to Roofy's, meet a few guys

Damn Matty!! I did read about it the other night on FB when Sarah panicked cause you didn't want to go to hospital. Damn you made a mess of that bud!! D1ckhead!!

Keep it moist made, don't let it dry at all mate. When I got my nose fixed they burnt the first layer and deeper in spots, I was really surprised when the healing began and skin just appeared. Keep it moist and the healing will be faster and the scarring will be less.

Good luck mate. Goose!
