    Spot mounts? i cant mount the intercooler even 5mm further back, the outlet pipe wont clear the Air-con line. and the high mount is bolted flat against the face of the bullbar so that cant go forward.

    im going to pull the bullbar off and see if i can grind the mounts a tad. and sit the bar/winch 5-10mm forward. if not, ill chop the whole center of the bar out and make a proper cradle that the winch will sit in, and slip the bar back on. . . . . whats left of the bar anyway. Haha. only other option is remove air con. or get smaller air con condensor.

    small incident thismorning.

    some knucklehead in a suzuki must have 'cleared' this tree, because the only thing that could fit in that gap is a zuke or a quad.

    anyways. as i drove down the track not seeing a thing (6am and it was covered in scrub). . . i hit it at over 40kph, front of the car launched into the air and off the bank. i thought i was going over for a sec. and since i didnt remember what was down that bank (im not that familiar with the spot) i turned left hand down and anticipated a very swift bumpy ride/fall into the riverbed(pretty steep drops out there). but alas i was lucky and got caught broadside on some trees.

    spent all morning getting it out. some minor damage. nothing to worry about.

    Would have been funny seeing your face while you were going over ...hahahah, OK, maybe not. Glad it wasn't a big drop off and as Roofy said bloody good angle to be on. Glad you're all OK!
    What sort of damage did it cop??

    Ha, i was wearing my face of Resignation,
    -only pushed in a gutter, and banged up the quarter a bit. rear passenger door received an update to an existing dent, and i may have bent a swivel housing. steering needs some attention. still drove it to melbourne yesterday. oh an i pushed the rear window in as i got winched backwards. but i straightened the window sill and put it back in.
    ha, whenever i get stuck my winch doesnt seem to save me. this time i couldnt winch forwards at all. so needed another car. last time i stuck it in a river and buried it, i couldnt winch either. nothing to winch off. great way to spend a few grand. buy a winch that hasnt actually saved me yet. HAHA.
