Too right you did!!! ... a mistake you, I and others will all make again at some stage or another no doubt ... always a relief when you get out to check, thinking the worst, and it ends up being something so straight forward!!!Quote:

Bloody oath ... I did say to Liam straight up, transfer case, but really faintly, I say (sort of under my breath) "front drive shaft, who f@cking knows" ... but definitely thought the worst first ...Quote:

The one thing I've figured out with that camera is I've taken WAAAAY too much footage of any and everything!! lmao
Keep em coming mate. Is all sh@ts and giggles

i think that would be scottys dream or anybody on here wanting to take footage of there tripsQuote:

Another one ... the creek run but from the in car camera ... put a bit of music to the start as there is nothing to hear (as I am navvying for dhuck about 40 metres from the rig), and then cuts to my attempt ... the music is from Kill Bill so a bit melodramatic, but I like it!!! lol
Mal, at 7m20sec you should cut the clip out for use on your website ... have you ever heard anyone cheering at the fact they just ground their diff over a rock??? You have now!!!! PML
Enjoy ...
LANGUAGE WARNING (should be used to that by now!!! lmao)

Is a bloody slow job guiding Scotty through. Can't damage Tank at all. What about poor old Pigtrol?
I will look after Tank. Just wait till the rock sliders go on. No more mr nice Dhuck
Mr Nice Dhuck?? lmao ... here's the ticket, you have scrub bars, I don't ... you have sliders, I don't ... you have fully welded laminated diffs, I don't ... you have a full roll cage, I don't ...Quote:

Ohhhh, and I have 3" less travel than you (4" lift, but limited by only 3" travel shocks, and 33's compared to your 35's) ... so best you stay Mr Nice Dhuck for a while to come little fella until I get some barwork!!!!
It's funny actually, because in one of the videos I'm sitting in Tank watching you and then just pipe up with "ahhh, I'm f#cked" ... to which Liam asks why, and I say "because his rear tyre came more than an inch off the ground .. that means I'm going to need wings" !!!!! lmfao.
Would you rather see Tank flex like this.............?Quote:

Ok - I'll bite (lol), how much?? I'm already looking at 5" lovells with Tough Dog shocks as I thought you knew?? What about drop arms and upper rear control arms?? lolQuote:

Thanks boss - what sort of life left in the shocks you reckon? How long were they on the old rig and how abused?Quote:

roflmfao ... just as I was crawling out of the pool of poo I'm in at home, I just dive straight back in!!!! LOL!!!
They've done less than 20,000km though looking a little stone chipped and scuffed, heaps of life left in them. One of the rear shocks is missing the stone gaurd which I took off to clear the big exhaust and now can't find it.Quote:

Maybe I should reconsider coming to the BBQ next week end you being married to a kick boxer and all, not to mention your karate expert neighbours............

Ok, as soon as I have the girl modified to what I want I am coming up, and bugger the bf - he can stay home and catsit while I have all the fun!! Nah I'll bring him along too. I am loving all the videos - great job guysQuote:

I navvi for him in all the same spots he does for me - as for the camera, we can just swap mine into his rig. It'll be a bit different next time we do it now I have the new lift/suspension and no sway bars - far less wheels in the air!!! lolQuote:
