Rangie wrecker,

Good model and colour, same as mine. Just needs a ZF auto and it will be perfect (mine's being fitted as we speak, by me of course :armsup: ). I also have a 4.3 stroker block at home, ready to be rebuilt one day sometime :roll:

Trav, I put a vehicle over backwards during round three of the winch challenge in 2002 (see photo) and Glen Binskin repeated it right behind me, trust me...I like to have a clutch pedal I just wish I had jumped on it earlier. :oops:

Going to be set up mostly for weekend touring but still a daily driver.
