WTF....you fukin wish TJ Joe with ya six digit hands and 12 toed feet..... :shock:

that was what you were wearing whilst I was "entertaining" Kat whilst all the while you were peeping through the slats in the wardrobe trying to keep warm in ya fishnet pullups :lol:

Yeah well yet another productive weekend of spending coin :roll:

.....scored another VX cruiser,difflocks front and rear, factory unused winch, one owner, 4.2lturbo diesel,etc, etc for an absolute bargain again :wink:

The delema I have is do I strip it to build my FJ 40, sell it minus required parts, or keep it for the mrs to push those boy homos of the rd?
either way my REAL VX now has a get out of jail free card with the newly acquired winch.

so 2000kg less 300kg of winch makes it the same weight as mine

makes me wonder if thier weigh bridge reads heavy because i thought my truck should have been lighter than 2k...might take it somewhere else for a second opinion :wink:

wonder if i could sneak it into work and sling it off the crane with the scales....... might work on that

I finally finished the installation of my CB, front spottys and a rear flood light for reversing. The uniden 015sx is a cool little unit with its remote face that allowed me to install the reducer and the main body of the cb in the glovebox.The front spottys are 2x 200w Narava's and a 70w Floody at the rear,Just need to add some side Floods now and thats the lighting off the list.

Legally as they now charge by weight, the scales at the dump need to be accurate...

Out of interest, where would you go for a second opinion? It would be interesting to see how close each weight was reading. :scratch:

Its the warning light to remind me to switch back on the electric fan, (when I have finished the install)

I hadn't thought of that, sounds like a good idea though

I was talking to a guy that used to serviced them. He mentioned that the tolerances were up to 20kg. Outside of that and he got a call to re calibrate them.

Well, was planning to get the 35's on the lux, but as per the norm, got to H2O's workshop to pick up the last tyre,(friday, of course!! :evil:

) and hey! What's that lovely green puddle appearing under the falcon?......... :cry:

Good old Nibby towed the lux home, and I got the coon home before it overheated.... :oops:

then my best mate( :wink:

) Mudbum organised another radiator for me through his many contacts...... shot guy!!

So, $150 for the radiator and $30 for antifreeze...... and no car for the weekend :evil:

Soooooo....... this week I WILL get the 35's on the lux!! :twisted:

FYI that bog and up that stream is part of Terawhiti station, There are sometime hunters in that area and you should be getting permission to go up there.
