Dont ask me way its called that it just is. Any way I have never really been a fan of trailers, don't like towing things, but as this was more or less free when we brought over the last container, I thought why not, condition wise it was very good, the tubs not perfect, and its bowed on one side abit, thinking maybe theres a way to fix this? underside is like new, it came with some rubbish sankey wheels and rims, I should have thought when I bought it, as it did have HD Rims on it, its got the longer studs, and was specced for the Wolf. So its been sat in the garage for a year and half, having recently moved house, I thought I would at least make a start on tidying it up, I think the new wheels and rims make it look 100% better looking. I have started to prep some of the paint work, and after 6 hours of cursing the German who I bought a NATO cable off managed to sort the wiring out on the Land Rover end. The wife wants to paint it black as we are going to use it for the business, I would have said yes some time ago, but I am now feeling love for the thing, and I think it should stay green.:thumbsup:

Next job will be sorting the brakes out, I have no idea where to start...

Australian drab olive has a bit of a satin finish if you don't knock it back before it weathers.
That'll look good.
Nice purchase Juddy
