What was up with the shifter on the rover last year, Im the bloke that got you mobile.

Ahhhh many thanks for that indeed.

Turned out to be the brake light switch as you said. Two solenoids, one in shifter and one in hi-low range both locked due to brake switch failure.

I ended up going home in low range and once home it took me about 5 min on the internet to figure out the jumper across the brake light switch to activate the solenoids.

I plan to remove the solenoids one day but not had the motivation to do so yet but do carry a paper clip in the tool box now:-)

Provided I dont destroy it at the nationals, I'll be there

What a great weekend. Just had a look through your photos. A couple more try's and i would have got the hilux out of that hole

I don't have any video of that, where was I:-)

Preping all my video footage to send to Dirk and also Simon at 4WDTV in Aussie. Simon wants more NZ video of what trips we do here in NZ.

Since 4WD is no longer on Stratos due to Stratos closing it was requested as many as possible contact either or both TV3 or CUETV and hassle them into getting 4WDTV on their channels for NZ'ers http://4wdtv.com.au/

sorry, dr-pc's photos from the Sunday tuff truck run. Looking forward to your footage.

Done yesterday:-)
