wales monthly meet for febuary

[extreme-4x4]

oh yes he's out he came here after.... ill let him tell you about the recovery...

shortly after pete left here today i had my first go as passenger in howards landy...... and i got to say he is mental with a capital F
and his landrover is well worth the 12k + that he's spent on it

i think i left some finger nails in his dash

i suggested we refer to his landy in future as "ex lax".....


cos one go and you shit


absolutelly awsome.... even better when your in it, having the fun

i think anyone who doubts landies should go out with howard for an hour

pete makeitfit you got to try it:sly:sly:sly

Right here goes, as you're all aware by now I got abit stuck yesterday:augie
So after leaving my mav to keep the frogspawn company, we went to recover it this afternoon.
My mate Stuart and thunderbird2 to the rescue
His landi s running 35" muds and has a monster lift on it. Also a spanking winch by Husky I think. Anyway it's got gears and everything:nenau
So once I remembered where it was(little yellow tags on the trees everywhere doh) WE WALKED IT FOR A BUTCHERS:clap
Stuart drove down behind it pulled out the winch line, wrapped it round the tow bar and switched it on
By the time I'd got the door closed I was out:clap
I picked up extremes waffle boards and reversed upto thunderbird2 with great anticlimax
Amazing what a bit of winch can do,must get one
So a few pics to show you and it really was more stuck tan it looks:sly

 

[lacroupade]

300 squid plus VAT will get one of these....harder work but very versatile...

 

[makeitfit]

Blimey that looks worse than walking the route
Got my eye on a few 12,000 lb winches (electric:thumbs) at less money:naughty
Hope to get paid up next few days, so may go shopping

These seem a bit expensive for what you get (£260+) but a darn site cheaper than a winch and could well have got you out of there ?

Hi Geoff, thanks for the thought but I've been looking more carefully and can get 12,000 lb elec winch new for £220 :sly
There's also quite a few Warn ones on the bay about that s/h:thumbs
Just been chating to a guy who will make up a winch mount for the mav/t2 for £150. It will keep most of the bumper too.
OR a complete winch bumper for about £225 tbc.
:slyThe good bit is once made we can then supply jigged ones to club members:sly
Cheers
