Hey blokes, some of the staff might not know about any discounts or anything yet.
It was a discussion that Paul and I had are working towards soon gents so hang tight.
Did the first round of tightening the head bolts and was starting on the second round when 4th bolt in it stretched too far.. snap!!!!
Couple of options and I am still working it out.
As for the discount...blah!!!
Did not feel a great amount of love from dealing with them.... oh well!!!
I got the broken head bolt out... I rang The Stud Doctor and he gave me advice over the phone and it came out easy..
Nice change to have a bloke give free advice and not come around to take money off me for something he knows is an easy fix.
Now what to do???
Head bolts on order....

I have a lot to update but a bit busy at the moment but just wanted to mention that the rear bar I have made has stood up to its first real test..
At Brindabella while we were negotiating a really tough down hill rock ledges my rear bar landed hard on a rock ledge and came through unscathed..... my welding has held up so far!!!!!!
I am proud of myself....!!!

So how do you find the suspension offroad?

Suspension is brilliant... I am worried about not having the correct bump stops and need to get onto that soon.
I think Andy wants to change his set up partly from watching how much flex I get now.
Nothing troubles me specially with the front locker... I know in the past there were tracks we did that would have given me a real hard time and with the locker and the amount of suspension travel I get I need not drive like I stole it which in turn hopefully means less stuff breaking.
I have still not gone out with the 35's on where clearance might be an issue to see how all that goes.... soon I think!!!
