well ive hobbled to the shed

[Jez]

they dont seem to mind being underwater too much either - I love em 

[Mark]

My t-max works very well, even hidden under the seat, and stripped of it's plastic nastiness. :)

[who?]

well stauns fitted and given abit of a try out yesterday, just down to 10psi mind, but all in all i had fun, heres some pic's
the cruiser had allready been through the hole the trooper is in, wish somone got a photo of it

[who?]

well, fuel tank has been acquired, its shiny, holds 53 litres, has foam in, has a super fancy aircraft cap for not many pennies off the ebay, so its waiting to go in.
winch wired up with internal controls and grill controls.
silly plastic wheel arch extensions taken off and rust and rear quarter panels being dealt with
thats about it!
got a christmas bash on 27th so the aim is to be fairly operational for that

i dont know if you visit pirate4x4 that much, but everyone that has left the foam in fuel cells has had massive issues with their fuel filter clogging. and then taking quite a few filters and hassles till they get it cleared out.
seems it starts to break down way to quick. only guys seeming to be having luck are spending 5-8k on custom bladder type race cells.

[who?]

yeah i visit fairly regularly but that seems to have passed me by, i'll go have a look, cheers for the heads up

[who?]

arf arf arf first day of non half 5 starts over christmas huzzahhh
anywho, in amongst the celebrations, the fuel tank has been fitted, the rear lights are now in the rear pillars, but with some kind of earthling problem and the rear quarter panels have been lopped off and plated up
thats about all
but i have sensed some 16 inch stauns that may be bought for my 2.8 trooper trialing device
happy christmas and new year topcats! 

[who?]

afternoon, here's one for fridge

hope all is well

[steveb]

cheers

Steveb

[who?]

they are ground hawgs in the 36/14.5/15 variety, they do the job and been around for many moons, they've stauns inside and go pretty well
but yeah they are just an overgrown SAT!

cheers Hugh

[who?]

[epninety]

Nice pics, I'm only a bit jealous sat here driving a CAD station 

I was in Bots and (briefly) Zim last year, aiming to get back next year (or maybe late this year)  for a run into Namibia.

This has to be the hardest driving decision I ever had to make :-

[who?]

that sign post looks like it might be the one at the end of the kasane airport road?

[epninety]

Thats the one Think it's at Muchenje, where the track from Chobe joins the tarmac road.

[who?]

ah, excellent!
we were heading to livingstone for a couple of days to the falls and also thought it was a pretty impressive sign!
as was the ferry crossing the zambezi!
