What did you do to your Patrol today!

[Bigrig]

Went to an accident in the middle of my village (high speed multiple rolls and end over ends) once we had him sorted out and packaged away me and my Safari got to recover his Surf which was in the local pubs garden on its roof facing the wrong way with the back end wrapped around there new large sign. 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

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.
