Sorry brain fade its 4mm started with factory size

Yeah it is... Was starting small as its my project mid mount winch and shear pin is in the drive shaft and not at the winch or pto.
So was testing it ....hehehehhe Done some heavy ish pulls before it broke....
But I hear what you are saying.....Note I am using High Tensile bolts not std soft ones.

Got married

Honeymoon in Palm Cove next week

in a few weeks I can save for a new 4x4 toy (or do up the Terrano) instead of saving for the wedding!!

Had a super productive day, got up mowed my lawns, cleaned swimming pool, and still found time to pull my front leaves out and remove the extra leaf. Much nicer ride now

Congrats, don't bother packing anything warm. It's nice and toasty at the moment

Enjoyable session out at Woodhill. Seemed like there was hardly anybody there! Very dry, not much mud to be had, but it did make some of the impossible trails do-able.

Recovered a 'cruiser after it went askew reversing back down the slope.




Also, managed to find some mud to wallow in

Cheers man. We're very much looking forward to heading over and relaxing eh

That's good, no need for warm weather gear means more crap we can bring back... Wonder if I could find a suitcase that would fit a snorkel and a set of 31's

Broke my neck back in 78 gives me crap every now and then.
Basically you are to friggin old to be riding a bike, you have now proven what many of us have known for years, As you get older the ground gets harder and comes up faster.

Dude,

Take care man -

New on these forums, have just bought a 1996 terrano about a month ago(first 4x4) and decided to head off to the beach this weekend.

Found some guys out there 4 wheel driving and they offered to show me and my mates some few tracks. Had an absolute blast and really enjoyed myself and keen to do more!

Did get stuck later in the arvo was a blast trying to get the thing out
Luckily i brought along a shovel and some planks we got it out after half hour of trying.

Really want to hit up woodhill sometime soon with a few mates
