My Stage 1 V8 109 came with a crank handle and starts very easily with it, even from cold.

How did that happen?

I wonder if it would've tipped without the weight on the roofrack?
hilift, gas bottle, steel roofrack would be a few kg's up there.

Offset wheels - wider track than a standard series too, poo happens.

Just hard luck with wheel placement. front right found a hidden hole at the same time as the rear left caught a high point.

Slow roll - very graceful. :)


Many other taller, more top heavy vehicles went through the same spot with no ill effects.

Hard luck NAAAAAAAA . just playing silly buggers The aim of the day was to take the hardest line possible so i just tried to be a holden stunt driver and ride the top of the rut. unfortunatly as andrew said their is a hidden rut witch doesent apperar is the picture. as i felt it getting close to rolling i put on the gas quickly tured left ad headed down hill on 2 wheels for a bit but had to hit the brakes which led to it tipping , supprisinly not much damage as the roof rack hit the tree first. Truck is now tougher with 33's and a winch and am heading to Jenolean this weekend. what about you Andrew not too far from you! should come for a mud bath.
cheers Will. I would post some more action picts of the series 3 but not sure how too am working on it. Any one keen for a photo upload work shop night aka boose up?
