Thread: Slunnies 15 minutes of fame!

can anyone scan and post the article?
I have boycotted 4wd monthly after 4 years as a subscriber!!

it’s 200 hundred pages of crap most of the time these days

well done slunnie!!

really a great article and proof that a disco can do the deed!

Got my copy today. Top stuff Slunnie.
You forgot to mention AULRO and every member by name.


Look forward to seeing more members rides. Makes a nice change to see 4x4s that are every day drives and used off road regularly.
I actually think 4WD Monthly content is getting better and better, catering for most tastes.

Here here A great write up and still the benchmark for how a disco should look and perform in my opinion.......mine is certainly based around a lot of what Slunnie has done to his.

Good work, Mick

Looking forward to my copy.
MORE MONEY TO SPEND :roll: :roll: :roll: :roll:

Hey thanks fellas. It was a bit of fun doing the article, and it certainly makes you pull your thumb out and get things completed that would otherwise sit there for a while. I reckon the paint must have still been wet on the rear bar when the photoshoot was done. Likewise the rush to get the fridge and slide in, and then it was a good excuse to replace the seat covers with more of the same. Robb Cox was also really good to work with in the photography area of it all - Robb being an ex-County driver, now Disco1 driver!

I dunno if its the benchmark though. I look at some of the trucks that the guys in the states run, with cut panels, bull and rear bars that are miniscule for better angles, amazingly flexy RTE suspension and 1 fella at least that runs 37" tyres and Dana60 axles!!! Then again, I've setup more for touring than outright rock hopping - thats what my IIa is all about.

Well thats 2 of us! So who else has had 15 minutes of fame in a magazine?

Me - D1 a few years ago. (How a D1 should be built!)
Slunnie D2 this month... (How a D2 should be done!)

Anyone else?

Slunnie, slunnie, slunnie...

If you cant comfortably drive it to the offroading or use it during the week then its NOT built properly :wink:

The fact that its capable, comfortable and reliable is the key to a proper build.

Thrash it till it breaks weekenders are fine but not as well executed or rounded IMHO :!:

Cheers
