Looks like I missed out on a great if not wet days outing, hope the trucks gonna be a cheap fix for you
Col, not sure whats worse as it died mid stream, the thought of how much or the knowing that you are
going to have to get in that fast moving very cold water an try and attach a tow line.
(mind your a northerner, it was more like a warm bath )
Twister Dont believe you wouldn't have followed Adz straight in
Adz you crossed over. then when Col's gettin helped by a landy red bull your back on the starting side
Sooo weres your truck or was there a bridge close by or does your have better boyancy (not the singer)
Omega does yours not have any underbody armour?
Great pictures and hope to join the next big outing _________________ aka x66dag

Lost count on the times the gearbox crossmember got hit and dropped on , even going slowly it still ground out on the crossmember. The skid plate below the transfer box was "squashed" against the transfer box end plate ...Craig... |

Scary thought , but probably very true

Yep I agree it is fully kitted out, I put a shower in the back of my Disco, Col had to go one better and have a bath in his...LOL It will live again, Col over Christmas we are going to come up to yours and give you a lift getting it up and running, it's not going to be "scrapped" it's the only 3.0l that I have seen running. It will take us a couple of days but we can rebuild it. Any guys on here got any tips for doing the head on a 3.0l it would be much appreciated!!! Let's get Col back on the road again it would not be the same going on the trips without "Blue Thunder" rattling it's way along the lanes...LOL See you over Christmas Col and I prefer bacon butties to turkey....LOL _________________ I rather be a bender than drive a Defender! |
