    On the other note:
    Insurance:

    Check on how the Insurance Company does your vehicle insurance.

    Mine has an agreed price, which gets devalued each year, funnily enough.

    Gave them a ring and started with the value of all accs. Pushed the agreed value way beyond their current value.
    They then took full details and changed the value and naturally the insurance price. At least it reflects closer to what its worth to fully replace now.

    Check your vehicle. The Insurance companies tend to base their quotes on the base vehicle and its age. Just add a bull bar and tow bar changes that base value.
    It is currently with RACV and I had a chat with them a few weeks back and it is clear it is not covered for much in terms of the extras that would add value to it. I need to do some ringing around to see what my options are.
    Thanks, Cameron

    Great stuff. Reckon you might be up for the harder routes on some of those hills now, & will be interested if you can now get up that last hill without wheelspin.

    I think the mob I insured the Tvan through (CGU, through Arthur J Gallagher) will insure all road legal modifications up to a maximum of the value of the base vehicle. e.g. they will cover a $20k vehicle with up to $20k worth of mods for up to $40k on & off road.

    I put a lock-rite lokka in my Troopy 350 V8 from a mob in SA.
    destroyed my gearbox over a period of time, found if you slammed
    the gear changes the tail will step out like a torque whip,
    It now resides in the rear of a 60s 1h diesel power to burn LOL ha
    Next locker I'm fitting will be one I control, wheel spinning up hill if there
    is no other option will see your steering harder to controll.
    So its a Pro-locker for me or an E-locker
    ,BTW I had mine in the rear diff I would never put on in the front
    04 ST 3lt auto, not enough Mods to keep me happy, but getting there

    Yep Cuppa, I'll chase them up. They inherited my policy for our house (someone bought someone, who bought someone, who they bought). I'll ask them to chase up some options for me. Plan to call Shannon's as well. Will probably get onto it next week.

    Once I get the power connected, I'll let you know and we can check those same tracks.
    Thanks, Cameron
