Yep, enjoyed meeting up with all you guys too. Good to have faces and vehicles to the names etc. Look forward to catching up again. PM me if heading up this way again and maybe we can show you a bit more scenery. Was good to see Jafa's truck in action. It's an awesome piece of engineering and was great to see it all in the 'steel' as photos (although good) don't do it full justice when you see it as a sum total in operation. Nothing like seeing some custom 4WD bling in the mud. Wish I was heading south to see it in the elements it was designed for...
