[Warnie]

Thanks for the photos Steve, captured the day well. Who likes my safety boots :p

[Bigrig]

Well, what a day!!! An absolute cracker from start to finish (the start was pretty rough for me however!! lol). Heaps of 'odd jobs' and larger items tackled and all in all, I think it was a screaming success.

Would not have been possible without the gracious offer from Murray and Dave (old mate) from Torq4x4 to let us use their facilities ... a massive THANKYOU on behalf of us all!!! I know I'm like a kid in a candy store when surrounded by 4wd equipment for sale, and subsequently, I've committed to dig deep into the pockets and get a Mako winch and 148 litre petrol tank. So hopefully the purchases made by the members will go a long way towards making the days worthwhile to yourselves, and I look forward to many more as your business continues to grow. We will all be happy to assist wherever we can in ensuring this happens.

We had 13 members in attendance with a few extra ring in's, and the day went without a hitch (except for 'someone' breaking one of the hoists - c'mon, you know who you are .... fess up!!) with some very happy members driving away sporting new lights, sliders, boost gauges, 12 volt outlets, catch cans, control arms, power steering coolers, exhausts, etc. A big thanks to you all also for your continuing contribution, and your willingness to assist and support one another in a friendly, social way. Not a bad word spoken all day, plenty of laughs, and not a bloody bad way to spend a Saturday I reckon!!

These will definitely take off as it was simply an ideal location and end result for many of us.

[RustyNav09]

Alright alright I broke the hoist. I have stood forward lol. well I broke it after the attempt to fix it with a non high tensile bolt :S. to much power "flexes arms".

but what a great day I was a ring in as having a d22 the hoist was an advantage to be able to check the underneath properly,and talk mods with the boys. Thanks to the guys at torq4x4 for the use of the workshop was brilliant. oh not to mention some nice looking patrols.

thanks

[Warnie]

Bigus or Ben-e, do you have any pictures from wheeling last night??? Any broken pieces???

Hahaha young fella!!! I didn't actually mean when you broke it the "second" time!!! I was taking the p!ss out of myself about the fact I broke it "first"!!!! lmao

I'm a Queenslander by location only though, I was born and bred in Victoria, so white makes sense lol

I'm guessing that Jason used 8 gauge wire, so the difference in thickness of the cable and inline fuse holder will be large.

But the inline fuse holder should be rated to at least 30amps, so it will quite happily run your work light/reverse light.

from memory he did will crawl out later and have a look and refresh my self lol

[Peacemaker]

My last post was for Scotty and the wiring in tank. I only ran twin 4mm for ya work light as it's only a 50w bulb. When you decide to fit 2 reverse spot lights (2x55w) you will need to run another 4mm single for them and earth them to the - on the twin I've all ready run. I should have run it in that harness to the rack just in case/for future addition of spot lights. No biggie.

and here's a picture of our official photographer, hard at work, at great risk to his personal safety (and I don't just mean being near all those guys with welders and grinders and stuff) ensuring our latest get together is correctly and properly recorded for everyone's enjoyment!

Thats a sneaky one steve, nice work, i didn't even see ya snap that one off :049:, not sure about "official" photographer, just grabbed my kit because everyone else was too busy doin the "real" work (lol)

Rainy day, & Failing Flash batteries had me slowed me down a bit , so i must have been distracted (he-he), after all the flash misfires, ive now ordered a huge external 2000mAh rechargable battery pack for the flash, should give me faster cycle times for longer :thumbup:




Frenzy, next time i might bring my back-up DSLR (a Canon 30D) as well, then we can see what you can do with a "camera", instead of a I PHail !
