Yup I'm still putting shit together as usual :wink:

Any chance that someone can take a m10 tap and 4 10mmx25mm or thereabouts bolts as I wont be able to sort a little issue before i leave :wink:

Bigger tyres are going on the LR today (nice bigger old SAT's thanks to 2's). Big ups to stinky and taz down at wellingtons king of fabrication shop (wellington tow bars) for assistance with running the winch rope and mounting the fairlead yesterday.

Depending on the weather I might have to stay nice and dry and warm.

Not that I would mind being a bit cold but I don't think the kids will handle tenting it in a screaming southerly for a couple of days
