It begins

Well after the weekend in the bush all is well, a few stoppages, needed to bleed the fuel system up each time, found the CAV filter blocked, My fault as I pulled it off a wreck and didn;t fit a new filter, it was on the list, but.........

It seems good to drive, can punt along the road and bush on the pace, but a little bit more painful, when following 2 V8 auto's in the slow bush stuff, damn them and their torque convertors and auto transmissions:mad:, but that easy fixed, go infront and set the pace, so a don;t have to keep changeing gears:D

listening to my mates 5l GQ in the snow made me sad:(

Went up the scrub again on the weekend up the back of licola, near 500kays for the trip, copped a pizzling all weekend, having to show 4.8L petrol 5 speed auto patrols, you not all that slow does that:twisted:

14.6l/100kms:D:D:D

The LT95 shats me off, an auto would be quicker and more pleasureable and it sounds like a fart in a can, the whistle is cool but:), but when I fill up with that sort of economy, it makes me feel all the better, especially when I couldn;t have given it any harder of a time:twisted:

The 6,2 chev diesel I had, driven in much the same manner was around 22l/100:eek:............don't ask about the petrols I;ve had:angel:

So all in all, its going nicely, except for 2 new golf ball size dents in my rear upper quarter panel:(

Any plans to stick a PTO winch on it?, make it close to unstopable!, electric are well known for their limitations although the 8274 are the pick of the bunch.

A few reasons I didn't

Ease, 3" exhaust exiting between the motor and rail

Wieght, they is heavy

I've got a widened drum and 6hp motor on an 8274:D
