Finally forgave my zuk for breaking down at the Whangarei winch challenge and took it down to a mate truck yard to give it a wash. 2700 litres per min makes light work of the mud. Just have to open the nozzle up a bit cause as a jet stream you have to lean into it and it removes paint.
Then took it home and started straightning the bent tray while it dried out enough to look at pulling the dead gearbox (this weeks job).
Also bought 2 more sets of spots of trde me. A pair of IPF 960s to go with my existing IPF 930s on the light bar and a set of hella f100's for revers lights on the zuk. (about $30 a set there are still bargins to be had.)
Toy - Zuk chassis tub, hilux 4.88 axles and transfer, Nissan CA18DE motor and auto trans, sc12 supercharger, 32 10'5 simex, twin motor 8274 custom freespool. Well the parts are all there in various corners of the shed
