Is Graham OK .. his posts are getting pretty weird this afternoon ... a we bit errrr .. Grimace ... worse than a pink shirt and yellow hair I would say ...

Indeed Very strange...

You know what it is - it's Web-wheeler-itus... you realise it's been a long time since he took out his little zook and now he is getting a little bit 'wierd'... poor fellow.

It's been longer for me .. and possibly even longer again for Pete .. Soon the patrol will be gone .. and I will never get to go 4 Wheeling again ... ... Hmm is that a roll of glad wrap ...

Post Weekend Update:

1. Did some work on the front bar - now it is nearly complete... it has some toob stuff hanging off it and sort of make it look a bit more complete.

2. Continued with the ordering of some bling spidertrax goodies for the car

I too have been 4wd clean for nearly 6 months now. The shakes and cold shivers are no longe yet i still feel the urge to get the Valiant dirty sometimes. Usually a couple of hail marys and a reread of the herald Sun letters section put me back on the straight and narrow. But I fear my compulsion to wheel may become too strong as the Mango nears rwc condition. I hope it is something I will be able to deal with when the time is here. Say your prayers as I'm a weak man amen

No such luck - sorry mate

But if you come down to wandin this weekend the car will be there

I don't reckon a trip from Newcastle is probably warranted to see your bar Greg as Bling as I'm sure it is. I will have a camera and will take a pic maybe

If you look closely at the foil, you can see a reflection of me in my spiderman costume
Peter.

I dont wanna look at that any more than necessary it's

hmmm.... if i leave now (wed), and i only break 3 things on the way down, i may be there in time for the weekend could do it in a day driving a 'normal' car...

I saw big steve take the photo last night - but evidently it hasn't made it to here yet

maybe he's on the can... he usually replies to stuff on here within 3min, lol

stumped wrote:maybe he's on the can... he usually replies to stuff on here within 3min, lol

I believe he is in a managment "training" course today...

same thing isn't it??

Sorry Mate The photo came up really dark (I cant even lighten it enough to be visible)

Careful or I will delegate you some really shitty tasks

Talking like a true manager already - the course must be working.

Management is all a hoax, its all about accountability

bigsteve wrote:UPDATE
Greg picked up a really nice set of blue bonnet pins.


Highly Bling

Scarily enough - if you have the new 4wd monthly - have a look at the Big Balls OffRoad full page advertisement - they are selling bonnet pins that are exactly the same as these blue ones...

BBO = Big Bling Offroad ?

Now that I have no inner guards I will be doing away with the cable so those bling pins will be going on.

At least you know where to get spares from now mate

Got busy last night and hooked up the big 6-thou' pou' winch up again. Controller box is sitting snug against the firewall in the passenger foot well (which looks quite neat).

The car is now self recoverable

And yes Yug - we could probably use it to recover you too

I promise I will act as an anchor for you .. being that my Zuk probarbly is twice as fat as yours ...

Finally got a picture (thanks Grimbo) of the front bar in it's almost completed form.

Comments so far have been that it looks like a smiley face, or at least a grin of some sort. Once the new hawse and winch rope goes on it will look a bit different too.

Your right about that smily thing.

Is that big steve in the passanger seat? For the roll cage to be successful all parts of the body should be inside the cage especially on that tough terrain

My new winch hook is red too - so it will look like a mouth with the toungue sticking out a bit

DeWsE wrote:Is that big steve in the passanger seat? For the roll cage to be successful all parts of the body should be inside the cage especially on that tough terrain

Yeah it is... we had to remove the seat for him to get in there though

I think he's hanging onto that part of the bar work because we were about to hit a hole in the sand that would see the driver / passenger thrown forward a bit.

It looks sweet dude, well balanced with that extra weight on the passenger side.

I still reckon you should have hit that last section in 4h

Very smiley

any other shot's available?

How'd ya mount the barwork/winch? does it protrude much?

Any 'after thought's on what you could have done better?

Just dreaming about how I'd put one on my 'shelf with wheels'......

Keen to hear others experiences/approaches......

Check out the Cruiserkhana report in general chit chat.

The front is flush with the end of the chassis extension.

For the bar? I'd love a big stinger on it - but think that i would feel a bit responsible if i took the head off a pedestrian or something.

Sounds to me like you need a BUILD UP THREAD!!!

bigsteve wrote:I still reckon you should have hit that last section in 4h

I would have - but for some reason the engine bogged down... must have been some extra weight in the car somewhere
