Not a man of many words unlike some Scotty........LOL Well said by the way mate and to all the other members who spoke out while bitting your tounges. Ha
Not into chat rooms and forums because there is always some knob that thinks theyre better than everyone else, well guess what your NOT. Your no better than me or any other on site. Yer you might know a lot about a certain subject but hey I know something about something that you dont know, wow that was confusing but that what we like, down to earth people. You dont get that on other sites that i have found.
I joined this site to ask 1 Q and run but wow, these guys treated me like i was paying them for info..... friendly and respectful.
And guess what Im still here because of that and glad i am because have got to know some really decent blokes.
Got tech advice from one, mechanical from another, career advice for my young lad from another, bought Aussie made products from another and even offered assistance to a member in another state. You dont just do that S*** for anyone, you do it because the are extended family even though I have never met them. All im trying to say is that is the sort of people you have on this site. A really good bunch and if it wasnt for someone breaking away from the bullshit and starting a new site (the best site by the way) i wouldnt of had the oppertunity to get to know some really great people. Have ver found such a family friendly site.
Thanks to Andy, well done and to the Mod squad for keeping this site such a good place to be involved in.
Thats my 2 bobs worth, if you dont like it dont read it.... Ah too late you already did.
Cheers Pete

P.s: 2 my other post.
A fellow member had posted some useful info up on converting Auto locking hubs 2 manual which i needed 2 do and even though after taking my hubs apart 2 convert them and finding that what he said on his post and what my internal hubs looked like where different, it only took a personal message 2 him, he send me his mobile#, I gave him a call and he helped me sort my issues out. He does not no me from a bar of soap besides a couple of chats on the forum, he does not get paid 2 help me out, but yet he still found time 2 guide me through what i needed 2 know
Thanks again Tony 4 for your time and patience dealing with a not so mechanical mined person
I know i wouldn't find such assistance on any other forum.
Time is never wasted when your wasted all the time
WARNING: Towballs used for recoveries can, and do kill people and damage property.

Just tell em he's dreamin...!!!!
Just about to jump into my next Patrol. A 2001 GU II TB45E .
WARNING!: Do not ever use a towball as a recovery point. They are not rated and can become a deadly projectile during a recovery if they snap off, and they have done so with tragic results in the past.
Thanks Pete.
You're right I'm not a man of many words. I'm about as good at writing well written, articulated replies to questions like this as Scotty is (by his own admission) answering in depth mechanical questions. But my thoughts about this site have been echoed by all the other members replies in this thread. I am a member of 5 different 4WD forums one of which is patrol4x4, this is where I found out about this forum-remember the locked gate saga? Since joining here I find it such an enjoyable place to be that I rarely visit the other sites now.
I spend a lot of time on here helping people with their mechanical questions, and I do it because I enjoy it.
A forum is just a group of people with a similar interest, and we have a great group here. I've met several members already, spoken to others on the phone, and I look forward to meeting more of you at future meet ups.
Cheers to all.
