Don't rub it in , my list seems to get longer every day. all those little things you keep putting off doing.
Radiator is fixed though
that's the main thing.Does anyone have a air compressor i would be able to use on the day? mine has burned out all the brushes and unsure if ill get replacements in time.

Yeah I have an air compressor too. Got some Force tyre deflators too (Staun copies) which I'm keen to try out. I can get a whole bunch of sacks from work as the D shackles we import come in them

Wouldn't be a very good compressor if it did
My list involves: finishing dropboxes, finish headlight wiring, convert back to standard to get a WOF/do my suspension lift properly and get a cert then wof then reg then diesel milage
Sucks because I finally got my winch setup too and wanna try it out!
All in good time, much rather sit on it then drive it and get caught and fined

We had busted and bent bumpers and flares on all four corners on the SWB Prado and it needed towing 3 or four times on the main track, the SWB Safari with us lost all its flares, some minor panel damage to the front end and blew a tyre off the bead.
Most of the damage occurred on the stretch of track between where the gated loop track branches off and the Tram car at the Tairua river.
Make sure you guy's all donate ya 10 bucks, its gonna be needed to run the digger to patch the track up this year!!!!!!

9am it is, and yeah its deff not a shiny track, and i think we`ll go up to the loop and chill there for a bit, then back. bit of filling and maintenance on the way if anyone knows what there doing 
The loop is deff pannel damage teritory.

Unfortunately I'm going to have to pull out. The Hilux has hit a bit of a hurdle needing some structural rust work done for the WOF where the previous owner has bogged over. There goes more $$ just intime for Christmas
