Hey, lr90freak, nice rig, what tyres are you running? I've been keen on those for some times but haven't seen any in the flesh.
cheers Gerald

They are the silverstone simex copies they are great in the bush, go anywhere and they are cheaper , i did have a problem with my first set they were 35" 16 x 10.5 i wanted a tall by thin tyre, they had a issue with them cracking from new. I was assured when i bought them this had been solved in a new batch but they did crack so i got 11.5 as a replacement these have been fine.Quote:

I was living in seville, so my main haunt was wesburn only 10mins down the road but now im in boronia so a little further on the black top.
If you can find a decent second hand pair go for em, or call chapel corner tyres, they were the distributor for em.
Some pic's of a nice sloppy day out at wesburn , shows just how good these tyres are.

First vehicle in to Cape Melville a few weeks ago.........one of the many bog holes, this area was completely dry at the same time last year. Before you ask, yes it is fresh, and not due to rising sea levels:D.

Here is some of my 1986 County.
G'day Jerry, is that barramundi creek? Bathurst bay would be my favourite cape spot.Quote:

G'day Benny_IIA, those black rubber fittings are the same standard fittings as supplied originally on the Isuzu Landy, they have the same volumetric efficiency as the 3inch tube they are attached to, so more than enough air!Quote:

Mind you I was keen to put the shotgun to good use, but for some reason, neither of my mates were:D. Someones gotta drive, and shoot:D:D.
You're right about Bathurst though, how about after the wet next year we give your Perentie a workout up this way:D:D:DQuote:
