Hey guys, The names Dale, diesel mechanic from the sticks, more precisely the grampians. says ive been a member for a while but never actually used it from memory anyway.

Was on mudrhino for years and had a good build thread there but as some are aware its now gone to god

Anyway i run an 88 gq was a tb42 but now a td42t, has had a 4" lift all h/d arms, rods and whatnot. Front and rear traction aids. Big old patroldocta snorkle and airbox. The old girls had a few run in's with a grinder to. Couple bars hanging off each end but the front ones empty while the highmounts pulled down.

Had some good times bad times and embarrassing times in it but hey thats what 4x4ings all about.

Welcome aboard Dale. Tough looking truck mate and driven by a top operator too me thinks !!
Tis a shame about your build thread lost, have heard great things of MR forum and its members. Reckon it must all be out in the clouds there somewhere for techy gathering, true shame but you never know mate, start fresh with your knowledge share anyways ;-) !

My bro and I were actually up your neck of the woods late last year for the first time Dale. Old family friends own and run the Old Dadswell Town. Grampians are awesome, we're looking forward to taking our Trols back this time before years end mate. You should yell out if ever you're down our way, Toolangi forest on our doorstep and heaps of other great spots can be reached for overnight quick weekend missions. Cheers!
