Had to pull the back sideways off the sign then winch it forward about 1.5m and then winch it back onto its wheels. I then had to strip all the guards of my winch as I managed to engage my winch (pretty sure my fire jacket got caught on PTO lever) when I was getting out and over swpooled the winch into a large tangled mess that jammed up between the which drum and the fairlead.

Holy dooley mate ... goes without saying I guess, but I hope no one was badly hurt or worse ... not sure I want to know, and full credit to you for your involvement - job, helping out, or otherwise, that is not a pretty thing to be around ...

Got myself an auto gearbox from a local wrecker with ribbed bell housing and a J4 torque converter. Will be installing both within next week and hopefully will see better figures of the atf temperature..

The guy (a local) got a pretty good smack to the scone thats scrambled him for a while. I was getting my mail at our Firestation and watched him come around the corner going like a cut cat. To be honest when I got there after watching him roll and flip I thought I was going to be dealing with a death bloody glad I wasn't

Bumma about the birds nest mate, bugger to untangle. Hope the other victims of the prang are on the road to recovery also

Gunna give my HF radio a work out today/this weekend. Pre-arranged with Snicko to give her a call. WA to SA.....gunna be interesting.

Just to add to my list of things on the previous page. At 1am this morning i decided to take off the Safari snorkel and attack the surface rust under it. Rubbed back and undercoated is as far as I got.
Hey DX thats a fair distance. You reckon you get a reception?

All's good. I talked to Snicko. She got me loud and clear but I got her just readable. That's the challenge with HF, but we did talk. Yee Ha.
