[XLR8]

Big thanks to Nowoolies and Clunk71 for a great day out. Will post some pics and vid up once they finish loading to photobucket.

[Clunk]

well I have to say, that was a very enjoyable day, small gathering of 4 cars, one of which was a toybota but I'm not gonna hold that against him,that was Nowoolies mate, Nowoolies, XLR8 and myself. Also no major damaged was incurrred, which is always good. My thermostat bypass hose split and decided to jet some coolant, made a makeshift fix out of some high pressure air hose which Nowoolies mate happened to be carrying, certainly did the job and will be replacing it tomorrow. I tell you what, it's bloomin hard work sitting down all day lol.

P.S. photos to follow once I've edited them and again Nowoolies to a fair bit of video but who knows when we'll see that hhahahahahahah

[Clunk]

[Dhuck]

what did ya's only just get home or ya's been on the p!ss? Sorry thats me and Scotty.

[Clunk]

what did ya's only just get home or ya's been on the p!ss? Sorry thats me and Scotty.

nah, got home a few hours ago, only to find the power was out, only came back on about half hour ago

[XLR8]

My damage report grew a little but nothing too serious. A couple of battle scars on the sliders, chunk out of the sidewall and at some point one of my CV's let go so will be pulling the axles out tomorrow to check it out. Was a day for leaks, pulled in to Sawyers to wash the dust down and mine had sprung a leak on the mbottom radiator hose. Aq uick trip over to the servo for a new clamp got it sorted.

[Dhuck]

is always a great day out getting dirty

1st vid (In cab vision), I have a sneaking suspicion that one of the loud cracks in this video is the CV letting go. It was the only time I gave it more herbs than neccesary

Great pix guys all we need now is some rain :)

[XLR8]

get some water on the powder that's up there now and it's gonna be real slippery. I, for one, won't be taking some of the lines I took on Saturday once it happens

[XLR8]

BTW, how did you get on with your drop boxes?

[Woof]

Great photos there boys, looks like it was a great day out............great to see that you have got the Safari going again Mike, have you got the new motor in it already?

[Clunk]

yeah it would certainly get very messy very quickly

[XLR8]

I wish mate. I've come to the conclusion it's never gonna get here so am eliminating problems one by one. Waiting on the flange plates for the extractors, then I just need to find the source of this intermittent rattle and get the tuning sorted it'll be sweet.

[GUte]

BTW, how did you get on with your drop boxes?

All done mate, I sit here with a weight lifter off my shoulders! Never thought it would take 3 shifts to put a 4" lift in

[nowoolies]

Great pix guys all we need now is some rain :)

just a thought or three

[GUte]

Not a member but have thought of joining, will get my lines installed and go from there. Im no good at organising/leading trips!

[Boagie]

great pics guys--i would hate to see that hill rut after the rain gets into it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

[indigothecat]

The powerlines is a great tester of 4bees, not really an easy way to choose. So close to the city buyt you feel like you could be a million miles away.
Love the look of that dusty trench that Clunk71 is ripping through. :)
