I think the cat-strap lead for the iPod goes in next to the dog-bone connector!

Yes I have heard similar comments from Aussie signallers about having walkmans and all other manner of devices plugged into the sets. All I've been able to get so far is the ABC Radio National on 64.25MHz on the PRC-77, don't want to power up the 24V system until it's been checked by my friendly sigs op.

A nasty little bump on the cheek for FAB. Maybe you need to liberate the air suspension from a RRc and connect it up manually. When you are going into a hole, pump a little more air into that wheel. All you need is a big compressor and toggle operated air solenoids.

lol air suspension... a set of toggle switches right next to a set of fiddle brakes as well

Would also be useful for 'kneeling' for climbing in and out of the cab...

Start here


then


huge hole on left of track - BAM!


Recovered OK though - the new HD bumper saved my bacon!


truck was sliding right so I steered left:


These tracks are used by LAVs and Loonimogs so the ruts are wider than LRs - you have to try and ride the slippery crown (scary) or give in and try either side (very lumpy!)

and then... Ouch!


but we didn't fall over!


The red j**py thing also had trouble you'll see, but his fatso tyres saved him.



The 'orrible Series steering was a nightmare - hit a bump and eek! truck lurches left. Another one and lurch right. After an hour of these sort of tracks your biceps have grown twice the size and exhaustion sets in! Who needs to go the gym when you have an FC

Right first time! - but then you probably know it intimately...
