Tony,

I have a set of 2x40ltr sill tanks on my 86 RRC. I am planning to remove them (when I pull my finger out) and place them on the markets section, as I want to fit some rock sliders and my intended use will not require me to travel great distances between refuels.


If you are still interested in a set I can drop you a line when I get them out, or if you are in a hurry just let me know around when you think you will be needing them and Iwil lsee what I can go.

Cheers

It's been an interesting few days here, Had some good rain, Bogged a 40ft semi and extracted it with the 120, Shot 25 more pigs, accidentally ran over a few as well, Split a steal hydraulic pipe on my JD 4200 back hoe, Buggered two 23-1.30 tractor tyres, Had the electric shift on a ATV fail still sorting it out $800 later,Had rats chew the wires of the scales on the feed mixer and that's only some of it

I had all good intentions of getting stuck into the work shop so the Rangie could move in but again didn't happen This happens every time.

Time is getting by on me now and this build is now on very thin ice I'm starting to get to a point in life where there is no time for such projects as this one let alone keep others here in service here. Also trying to renovate a pre world war two Homestead at the same time. It's a big job for a half arse carpenter like me

I'll throw in some pics but not of the build


Had to pull the guard off etc to get at the spool valve


42's on the 120

I hope this bronze stuff is good for 3000 psi

Back together and testing for leaks (Lucky its not a Land Rover)


The unfinished renovation An open plan kitchen family room.

I gotta come for a visit, sooner rather than later

I need to restock the fridge 1st
Plenty of fire wood here for the VFB wood heater and I'm sure you may know how to use a 4BD1 120 and a chain saw if we get cold Don't forget the Rodeo gear

Just thinking I have some good pain killers as you must have a bad headache looking at the signature you have there

Nah I self medicate, scotch and beer

I got an idea on useing a saw, this weekend gone, put nearly 4litres through the 066 out bush, cutting logs that took 2-3 of us to lift on the fires, last fire was bigger than an RR lot of us to keep warm though

Getting time off work is the one thing, but when I can

is it dog friendly? my woofer will get upset if I ditch him

That little guy will be fine here if he doesn't bite my ankle. My 23 dogs are usually restrained anyway and all know there is only one winner in a dog fight. Me Seriously my lot are not aggressive at all so your new friend would be fine here. Plenty of room here for a good run as well.

Seen in past threads you may be partial to the 066 and a smaller one I hope when climbing in trees.

Sounds good, will hope to line it up.....could do with a holiday, its been since Tas

And that was early last year

He'll be OK, could do with some socialising with some tougher woofers, seems to dominate the others he;s around, so might teach him

Just gotta sort this asphalt drive out and finish a heap of work for some other people.............gotta remember not to book anymore in

Give me an idea of time frame when you know where you are as (Khos) disco owner has offered many times to help out so will try to line it all up. We will also have a tour of the property
