You still hanging tough there Pete? We bailed out yesterday back to Kohukohu. Weather was nasty, went for a blat up north hokianga head Wednesday into the dunes and swear it was 120k winds blowing sand horizontal, cant say Ive ever seen anything like it up there. I was exceedingly grateful for the roof and windscreen, the blokes with us were wishing for the same.

Will go find some mud tomorrow, shouldnt be too hard of a task

How old the clutch?
I'd be questioning the quality of the clutch/workmanship if keeps slipping
