I am glad you are coming around there George... I do have to thank Georges dad Harry and also his brother Billy who is a gentle giant with a heart of gold..... driving around picking up parts and for such a young man full of so much knowledge.
Now Healy's dad has offered to pay for some suspension parts as the ones on this truck are rooted and if they arrive on time they will be fitted before the meet but if they come late then that is another job added to the list?? was like driving a boat?
Now that sway bar link on the left side is rattling away and needs some attention??
I have work to do today...blah!!!!
Sorry better pic

It's a nice drive now suspension is getting done my dad has jumped on board lol and my whole family is just blown away from the generosity from all you wonderful people and so am I. For the people that have met me and who will meet me you will realize I'm not much of a talker and I am greatfull so please if you think I'm not greatfull I just like to say I am truly greatfull I just find it hard to express in words and to be truthfully honest still in shock with how this community has helped and my son keeps saying to me look at the tyres dad he loves them and so do I so I'd like to say it again thanks to all and hope you have had a great weekend

Bloody Hell. I missed a killer weekend.. I wish I knew Craig was going but, coulda tagged along.. anyway.
So who's we rebuilding next?
Kallen Westbrook
Owner of
Westy's Accessories
These photos are great, makes me feel like I actually did something.
Well done boys, terrific effort by everyone who attended.
Thanks MR for all the photos, really helps to get more idea of what was going on.
Great to see some companies outside the forum willing to pitch in and I reckon a few people will remember that when looking about for gear/advice or need work on their truck.
Can't go past all the big effort from the members including yourself. They've all been mentioned (and thanks to the photos, now seen as well!).
Thanks again everyone for letting us participate at a distance. Hopefully I'll be back in Aus one day and get a chance to join in.

Sway bar back on and the new rear brake line
Hey that's good you got new brake line mate, that was a real concern.
If you're happy and you know it tap a post!
It's all good, Kallen, I was in Bendigo to go camping up the Lodden river, but a family member was called away to work, so we had to feed their livestock. That killed the trip, but meant I could get to AB's place. Another good thing about getting to AB's was I didn't have to help strip the second head out of Dad's V6 Craparoo. (one was enough and it didn't come out easily).
Did anyone take a pic of Winnie using his highly trained forearms filling the diff???
Even went lefty every now and then for something different, under arm and over arm...... you name it I can do it! lmao!
Winnie the hand pump specialist had it down pat!! I rekon the stroke was a bit longer then what he's normally used to but hey, job well !!!
I am still not well from this weekend..... I am getting old???
Still dont have my voice back??
