yes that pulled apart to clean didn't impress him

gudday

have thought about doin the same thing, what are the hurdles for getting one into the country?...in particular QLD and northern territory.

There's some pretty cool exploring to be done for sure!

Although I think there are some pretty tough regs to comply with in some states concerning tyre size ride height etc.

I have taken vehicles both way across the ditch. roll on roll off is the cheapest way to go.

Anyone who wants my contact details for the logistics drop me a pm or email jcrees@xnet.co.nz

Yeah, when you read some of the threads concerning engineering and regs etc - makes you realise how lucky we are here that things aren't that strict.
