Thanks Steve, Yes we still have, and do take the Ultimate offroad, we had a Jonno's on the QLD trip because thats what 4wd action gave us to tow (wouldda prefered to take ours lol) but you cant have everything lol.Quote:

We're thinking of picking up an Ultimate - boy they hold their resale value well! Better than a car!
Thought we'd try to get one a couple of years old but they're nearly the same price as new, so we might go that way instead. Have yet to find an owner with any major gripes about them - that says a lot I reckon
Hi mate, yep they do hold their value, we love ours, its never given us any trouble, tows well, looks good and is extremely comfortable. Ultimate's after sale service is second to none, nothing is too hard or too trivial. We couldn't be happier with it.Quote:

Will hopefully get onto the Ultimate forum soon. Loved your pics on the Ultimate website too!
Cheers
You wont be disappointed with it, we love ours, I'd love a later model myself but am happy with what we've got. I am also mudduck on the ulti forum so hopefully we'll catch up all over the place.
Hi all, a bit of a self promotion here, issue 175 of 4wd action will be out soon, you can see mudduck in action on the dvd, hope you like it. No in car footage of us as they lost it somewhere in the edit, but still worth a look.
Great photo mate
Just 4WD mag today, got camper books with it, saw your patrol in it, looks good mate
Thanks mate, yeah it pops up in lots of mags these days, dont even know which ones now lolQuote:

Well had some bad luck the other day, Kaz was on her way to work when a big Roo jumped in front of her. She missed him but ran over a pole at 110ks, she's ok but need some repairs, cant get it assessed until the 3rd.

But it will get fixed and be back good as gold
Glad shes ok mate lucky the bars there ay!
Yep lesser bars would have seen major damage, Kaz is fine so thats the main thing.
Hey muddock, awsome tourer mate, im setting all mine up currently (when im not working in PNG), and im still debating how to set the rear up with fridge and drawers, I never thought to utilise the back seats better like that, have u any pic's of the back seat set up all together with the fridge.
Cheers,
Shaun...
Hi Shaun,
Amazingly I dont have a shot with the fridge in but if you get 4wd action issue 175 out this week, there is a good shot of it in the custom section of the dvd.

Hi Mudduck ,
Saw you on the 4wd action dvd last night. Looked like a good trip. What a pitty about the bloke and his cruiser ah. Hope the damage isn't tp bad mate.
Hi mate, yep was a fun trip, Josh did kill the crown wheel, he fixed it about 2 months laterQuote:

Pity about the damage but like you said, the wife is ok. That's the main thing
Watched the DVD last night. Great job. Looks awesome. Unlucky about the cruiser, but what do you expect trying to keep up with a patrol (or 3).
Your rig looks great. Well done. Will be keeping an eye out for updates.
Thanks for the comments mate. I see your awaiting a new patrol, hope you get it soon. I see your in the Hunter so we might even meet one day.
You never know who you may run into out bush. Lol
New patrol probably couple of months away unfortunately. Currently creating a wish list.
Well stripped all the bits off the front yesterday ready for the panel shop. Looks naked, I cant remember a time there was so little on the front.

Great setup mate. Top stuff.
