Another winching accident near Wandong !
I grow around that area and drive to broadmeadows for work, I see that nothing has changed. Just as bad in the west. [emoji30] I can't seem to get away from dickhead drivers.Quote:

Hope the guy ends up alright.
Not speculating anything but have you blokes seen what they used to attempt recovery ?
First thing I noticed also. Looks like they didn't have enough shackles and used the rope to bind the strap to the anchor point or even extend the reach with the rope. I doubt the group will forget this in a hurry. Hope the fella come thru ok.Quote:

It is strange that old bearings were nice and tight. I've checked and re-checked multiple times. I had a mechanic check the tightness and there was no play and they were spot on. So I ticked that off from the beginning...
But oddly enough , even though the old ones were tight and not in a bad shape, for some reason still managed to give me the shakes.
It is so nice to drive on the freeway now. No more fear of being stuck behind some wanker who doesn't want to do 100. So i had to sit there doing 85-90, exactly the sweet spot for the shakes.
You must have known I was going to look at this this morning mate. I was wondering where that Patrolapart list was as I was going to use it.
I swapped my front wheels over 2 weeks ago, the wobble went away but has now come back. It still could be out of balance tyres as both sets of tyres are old. I'm going to check my bearing this morning & have a good look at all the rubbers and bushes & go from there.
Glad to hear your problem is fixed mate.
Indicator on my rear bar hasn't been working since I picked it up from being repaired. Brand new rear bar, all the rear repainted and they didn't bother to check all the lights worked.
Didn't think much of it until I plugged the trailer in today and none of the lights worked on that either. An hour of my time undoing yards of electrical tape to redo all their sh*tty work. I know I could have taken it back and had them fix it all.. But by the time I loose a day of my time running it to and from them I may as well just do it myself and do it right.

Fkn cars. This year I have had the following happen to me.
Patrol head cracked followed by injector pump failure.
Motorbike alternator failure... Yes it has an alternator.
Today the transmission went into angel gear on the LS1 I had planned on installing into above mentioned patrol.
I've cut my losses and put a deposit on a newerish ute. Originally what I planned on buying when the patrol first went but what ever.
Been massive waste of money this year on vehicles hopefully 2020 brings better luck.

at end of a news report:
blah blah blah, because he wanted to leave something intangible behind ...
on an email from the ISP:
blah blah blah, we've planned some emergency scheduled maintenance ...
I'm sure that now you're not allowed to criticise anyone, say anything against anyone, everyone is equal, everyone gets a prize, no one is left behind, everything just ends being mediocre at best.
Blah blah blah

Hey Nick, good to see you today, but you did throw me completely standing there, maybe why the 'Adam' came out - sincere apologies for that mistake. This chain of events has certainly been crappy for you. When you mentioned you were going to part out your GU, I thought what a tragedy, so many things looked lined up for a win.
Well Bloody Bugger. That is Soooo Shiiiittt! Sorry mate. I'd have thought a Holden Gear box was a dime a dozen? damn it.Quote:

They are a dime a dozen, but you wouldn't gamble on a second hand one. I've been quoted $1800 for a standard rebuild which no one recommends to $4000 for a bullet proof build.Quote:

All the best with 2020 (and beyond).
Cheers mate
You're spot on, the re4 Nissan gearbox but then you need to mess around with finding a computer to run it or have a manualized box as you say. I have a 14 month old and a house that needs some renovation work including a decent shed. I don't need another project to add to my list I have enough things to do to llast me the next 10 years lol.Quote:

Shit Nic I feel devastated for you mate. Maybe one day you'll be back in a Patrol and then we could be mates again.

Bloody buggah and ball sacks mate....sorry to read this. Hope the D40 fares better for ya mateQuote:

I reckon Nic we rip the motor out of the commy and the Patrol. Get rid of the rest and when things are better get the LS in the Patrol.Quote:
