Please keep in mind that I only bought this truck a coupla weeks ago, so it's only had a bath and one electric window fixed. Hopefully Santa will 'light' up my life soon.

Gotta learn how to drive it first !!! Doesnt corner like my old XR6...
Very tidy looking GU
Yeah they don't quite corner like an XR6.. but give it a few months and you'll be saying "I bet the XR6 can't go here!!"
haha, exactly. Very nice and neat Katwoman!Quote:

Thanks, kinda too scared to take it offroad at this stage, dont want to scratch it. But Im sure that will change.
I'm not quite in the 'drive it like you own it' yet. Sounds like this is the place to be to start !!!
Absolutely, there are heaps of guys and girls here with plenty of advice, so if you have any questions feel free to post them up
Fletcha
Hey Kat, Very nice rig you have got yourself.
mmmmmmmm No dirt, No scratches, you will learn chicky, and it will be the best vehicle you have ever purchased.
You will get so much enjoyment out of it, and when you get it out bush you will think why didnt I get one sooner.
When I go bush, I dont go out to wreck my Trol but the occasional scratch will happen, you just have to grin and bare it, as long as its not a major ooopsy.
Take a bit of care until you get use to it and you will still enjoy the world of off road. You go girl !!
Cheers Pete

So, basically what you're saying is
suck it up, and stop acting like a girl?
Great place to start from - nice unit, clean looking and plenty of toys to put on it!!!
My advice is join a club that offers 4wd handling course lesson. I believe they are invaluable.
Nice Rig Kat. Needs bullbar, lights,uhf, blah blah blah LOL
Tim
Yes, does need lots. Maybe if I'm nice Santa will start to supply some.One of the first things to go will be TV in the dash. It's no good come the digital age anyway. I live near a lot of bush, so I should be able to get plenty of practise when work doesnt interfere..
Great looking rig Kat, I'm sure you'll enjoy it.
As soon as you accept the fact in your head that it will get scratched and scuffed in the bush, you will enjoy driving the 4WD a hell of a lot more. No need to be careless though. :)
Not at all Kat, you are what you are as are we. On this forum we are all equal. (Well.... Nah only jokin)Quote:

A light scratch will buff out, when you start taking off layers of paint & denting the panels.......ooouch
I think we all cringe a bit.
Tims (Finly owners) post is pretty good advice if you are feeling a bit unsure.
I was a bit unsure the first time I went off road but you learn quickly thats its great fun.
Take care Kat & Enjoy at your own pace.
Cheers Pete
Welcome Kat, enjoy the forum
Yeah, I know. Lucky I'm married to a spraypainter !
Hey Kat, as Tim said, join a club it's the best way to learn about off road driving and how to enjoy your new toy.
I think I will, but as u have seen, I got a long way to go, before it ready for that anyway. ( uhf, lights, tyres etc.)
All you really require is rated recovery points, rated snatch strap, rated shackles, air compressor and a hand held UHF and you should be OK to join a club.Quote:
