Bahahaha! I think the days of a wof in exchange for a wristy behind the bikesheds are long gone!!! Just fix your truck, doesn't really sound major. Where did you get your last wof... Pitcairn island???

At the end of the days its guy like u that help bring in new laws to make it harder on everyone else. And give the 4wd community a bad name.

Haha, I didnt realise I could provide this much entertainment.

Im a young guy fresh out of uni and have only been working 4 months, im not exactly rolling in it and i dont wish to spend every cent I earn as I actually know how to save, unlike most people in this country apparently. I have already spent thousands making the truck reliable and safe. The handbrake has never been very good and imo they are a poor design. Last time I fixed it I put on new pads and rotors all round.
Im learning everything about working on the truck as I go. I do everything myself except things that require specialist tools e.g fitting LSD bits to a diff centre.

Next time I go under the truck I am going to attempt to see what I can do to fix the handbrake in the short term, and if the world wasn't so skin deep my rust repairs would pass. I am not going to try and weld body panels myself as I will just blow through. I can spend a bit of time tidying it up though. My truck has done 350ks and it wouldnt have done that if I didnt look after it.
I specifically mentioned that if you were just going to give me shit to not comment at all. Take your massive E-penis somewhere else. If you saw my truck I dont think you would think it is a total POS. It may not be a locked and loaded beam axle truck on 35s but you have to start somewhere...

Id love to make it a trailer truck but where would I park the trailer, and what would I tow it with? My motorbike?

If I wanted to ruin 4wders reputation I would put it on farm rego and not have a WOF and still drive it on the road, not pay diesel miles, break the speed limit all the time and go doing skids in parks and shit like that.

Yes I asked a stupid question haha but you live and learn. I appreciate this forum and will not ask any more stupid questions, ok haha...
