Awesome vid

Sounds like the collapsable spacer between the pinion bearings has lost tension and created play between the pinion bearings. Not a huge job to repair and if the bearings are ok it can be done without removing the centre. If you are mechanical minded though I would remove the centre and check the ...

Owner is 80Ute from on here. It has a big block and has now changed to a dual cab tray back so the whole family can go wheelin'

Yes, GXL seats bolt into the original factory holes

Congrats to all competitors and the top 3 placegetters especially Greg who has had his share of breakages/disappointments and it's good to see him prevail :armsup:

Not sure whether the results are correct though as it just doesn't seem right that Coops & Hummer have missed out on 3rd place :D ...

Just on the phone with Andrew Norman, who competed with Ant Kilner and pulled out due to a lack of drive, and he is saying the presentation is at the Wilangee Property near Poolamacca so there will be no news for while as I doubt there will any phone reception out there

Dynamic GQ wrote:They have had 3 in the old rangie with Hummer driving & 3 in the hilux with Coops driving. 6 3rd's in 8 years of competing together, not a bad record.

I think there might have been a second amongst them as well

Hummer & Coops were actually placed 4th aft SS12 & won SS13.
Greg, Laurie & David all DNF'd.

Hummer & Coops sitting in 2nd aft SS13

Well this news just spiced things up a bit :armsup: Hopefully presentation will be without controversy but it wouldn't surpeise me if there was some though :roll ...

Yeah will be good to see Greg hang on as he deserves it :cool: Hopefully Lawrie & Hobzee are still at the pointy end challenging for a podium finish as Lawrie has always been close :armsup:

Here's a couple of pics at the morning mud stage taken by Mrs. Fish. This may help to keep the tragics ...

As soon as i win Powerball i will have the truck and get The fish on board. would set him up with a live web cam strapped to his head and a laptop streaming into everyones PC at home so we could relive the unique experience that the OBC offers.

I hope you win Powerball soon mate as it's probably ...

No other team can hunt down 3rd place like they can

Just heard from wife that Al Mac has "crashed into a drain and done a lot of damage to the front end" :bad-words: That was her explaination so make of it what you will :D

As others have said many teams stuck in the mud and not going anywhere fast :shock:

They are hopeful of moving on to ...

Have just had a quick call from Hobzee with an update.

- Still raining and the roads are currently closed :bad-words: But weather looks to be clearing up. If the roads don't open tomorrow they will run extra stages at Viewmont and miss some stages at Poolamacca.

- Mud SS this morning involved ...

Just got a text from Hobzee to say it rained all night and is still raining now

Recieved text from Hobzee earlier tonight with the placings as per Krim's post and also that "Hoon has done his block" :bad-words: Will try to get more details on this but it doesn't sound good for Pete. His car and the OBC just don't agree with each other :roll:

It's still only early in the event ...

Final Report for the night :armsup:

Just spoke to Hobzee who's standing by a fire awaiting their run on the Arabian Nights SS and this is a run down of todays news

Hi Mal,spoke to Mick,last eve, Laurie repaired & back in..:armsup:........... but he had no idea about Nick's state after damage Sat nite. They about to leave 4 ...

I did some research a while ago and found the 79 series has a 110amp (i think) alternator. I grabbed one of these from the wreckers and found that I only needed to slightly modify my alternator bracket (1HZ 80 series) to make it fit. You also may need to swap the loom plug as there is several ...

Recieved my pyro today Thanks for organising this Ben

There is 3 on the list for the second batch so far. Where is all the others that were keen???????

That's a pretty good price and they don't have an internal built in antenna so you need the remote one

I picked up a Garmin 2006C Chartplotter from US Ebay and cost me $700AUD to my door :armsup:

In my opinion, with a little experience on an FX324, the color Garmins Chartplotters are better than the FX324 due to better screen resolution, no delay when entering data/changing screens, faster refresh ...

Thanks thehanko Just scraped in

Green face & long probe for me if it's not too late to jump on the list

Might have to start a new list if it's too late as I don't think it will take long to find another 10 buyers

Certainly is still on

PM Jonesy if you want to book a time on the dyno
