I actually get a kick out of how amused Rossco was about the sprinkler system!

Amused. . . . Overwhelmingly impressed is what I recall.

Come on Cameron you don't need a winch down at the supermarket anymore, they've done up the car park nicely.

I think poor ABs thread might be getting off track again. . . .

we need to book in a time mr generous winch man ;)

I also made a rookie mistake. Doing the guard chop I couldn't put the plastic covers back on under the front wheel arches.

Driving through some of the watery holes in toolangi last weekend I then realised the breathers in the front right are just sitting there open for ingesting...lol

I'm going to put breathers on for piece of mind and then make up custom covers under the arch.

My door hinges are caked in mud too :(

You should be able to refit the inner guards mate regardless of the arch chop

Do you need run air lockers in for a bit before using them?

When I put the front lokka in I was advised to do a 1000kms before using them to make sure everything sets in etc...

Then back to ROCKY TRACK for a comparison of what you had and what you will have

But I believe that ROSSCO inspired you to do this after watching him on the last trip
and with the new winch there l be no stopping you

Nah good to go. If your doing gear sets & bearings they need running in but the main thing is you vary the speed. Change oil too after 1000k but apart from that ready for a good thrashing! !

Forgot to mention, I am replacing the bearings whilst it's all out...lol

The air locker is air actuated. It's on or off. No bedding needed. Alway back off to engage, crash selecting is distructive and the main cause of failure. A little mechanical sympathy and years of service will come. Enjoy.

Are you putting in new gear sets or swapping centers with 4.6 ones?
