looks trick now mate
Nice looking ride.
gotta love that blue.
Its one of those colours that cries out, look out!
here's a mod if ya interested.
If ya remove the globe cover you can gain 30+% more light.
focus is still good, possibly better even.
unscrew whilst hanging on with pointy nose pliers and the crush to pull back thought hole.
so long as globe tip is painted type ya should be ok rd worthy.
Pick of ours attached.
cheers

Well after i had to go rescue a mate that thought he go play on his own at night i was not happy not being able to see backwards as the lights on my jerry holder no longer worked so there not removed all together.
And 2 days ago i bought a 25inch LED light bar to mount off back of my Roof Rack hard wired so it can be used for anything that needs light facing backwards.

And the last trip i did to Dargo with the forum showed me insight to not being able to see around Hair Pin turns at night time
so mounted 2 2inch LED lights on corners under my 42inch Light bar.

Bring on some Night Drives now
Window tint makes it hard to see out the back doesn't it... I need a small single row light bar for reversing in the dark.
I've got a couple of little LED floods too that I will put on the front to see around hairpins like you have.
Yeah tint makes its hard that's for sure and since i had no reverse lights what so ever as my 2 little ones i had on jerry holder where dead made it hard
reversing at night on tracks as wide as my car lol.
And hairpin turns sucked just as much i couldn't see around them didn't no how sharp to turn the corner ect ect wont have this problem now the corner lights be wired into same loom so light bar n corner lights come on at same time.
Yeah I was alright with the hairpins if I had my windows down... window tint again. I'm gonna do just what you've done with the corner lights that's a good idea.
It make seeing around corners at night much better that's for sure one wire them up ill get a pic of side light don't no how
bright they are yet ive had them for long time but never used them lol
Well just Spent 4 days up in Dargo on another Tim Bates Trip this is my 3rd trip ive down with him and they just keep getting better.

Looks great!! Just got back from Jamieson-Licola; want to get across to Dargo next trip
What were the tracks like, have heard they're pretty challenging? The river crossings don't look too bad though
Tracks where all easy in the wet mate i didn't find anything hard but that could be just my car set up making it easy lol
Here's some videos from the trip.

Stay Tuned
I thought you were going to get a cruiser at some point.
Nice engine thought
Best news I've heard today :)
Well decided to get in one last Snow trip for this year and one last trip in the mighty TB42
Went up to Mt Selma Thursday night n come home Sunday so over all spent 3 days up in the Snow and what snow we got as many of you know Victoria got blasted with a huge cold front giving me epic snow to drive in.
Got a little Damage report i had lost a bolt out of my Himount n not knowing this i was winching on a little angle and winch twisted n fully snapped out of its mounts.
will need a new lower case and it be all good again.
