About time you bought a Fender.;)
Hope you recover her all right.:)
Have been in Freo for the last week and it just about rained the whole time. Back to Perth on Sunday and they reckon more rain all week.
Guys,
Just had a phone call from some nomads in WA.
One 99 TD5 Disco, being stripped for parts, everything available and cheap.
Should be posted in Markets section soon. :p
Just got back.
Sank the rangie with swampers on soon as we got there.
front/rear lockers dont prevent the earth from opening and swallowing you up.
An hour or more to free that then onto BlackBetty.Had to clear a track as there was no way we were going to get out,way too far to solid ground.
BlackBetty had eased herself into the mudbath overnite,sitting nicely on her belly.Jacking diging logs under tyres we got her out,only damaged snapped 1 hi-tensile bolt on my recovery point(1/2" plate steel) and bent it sidways.That Rangie has some grunt when it has good dirt to grab onto.Couldnt use the bridle strap as we had it around a tree to give a better pull angle on the snatch strap.
The trailer was pretty easy,after recovering the Rangie wich dissapeared again whilst getting ready to pull the trailer.
Lots learnt,THANKS FAT BAZ FOR THE ASSISTANCE!!!!.
I didnt sleep much last nite thinking my Disco was getting stripped,and Baz didnt sleep at all,he just got home from a party when I picked him up.
Will post pics this arvo!!!!
Andrew

definatly takes the record for boggings [apart for that guy in the fauklands that bogged the digger.]
Glad to her BlackBetty was ok.
