Welsh weekend 2016 - plan!!

[Banshee]

Just general stuff, checking diff, gearbox and transfer box oils and greasing props. Also jacked up front end and checked for play in the bearings (and had a play about locking the hub and making the Lokka ratchet :lol).

Tow bar flange off and hi-lift strapped in the back, she's good to go :thumb2

Appreciate you've got a bit more to do :augie ...

Hell yeah!!!! :doh

I'd pray if I had any faith :lol

Nice one Rick. Is that the same motor you used at the Wiltshire meet?

Yes one and the same, the only mod I will do is remove the tow bar once van is on site, Rick

Yeh but remember, if it hits your tow bar it's not hitting your bumper!!! :nenau

Then it just lifts your rear wheels off the ground and you then aint going anywhere, Rick

You are if you are in 4WD.... the front wheels just drag the towball and turn it into a plough...:augie

Aye but its a long swan neck kind of looking hitch. :nenau
If I bend it, it'll cost me more than replacing the bumper:naughty

Except you could get hung up on you're towbar with it in place as it sticks out :nenau (edit: Rick got there first!)

I remove the flange and towjaw from the Trol leaving the horizontal bar in place to protect the rear chassis crossmember but there's nothing (or very little) sticking out.

[terranosaurusdoug]

Oh yeh you got a sex toy on the back :lol, mine was short n solid, I preffered that hitting stuff than my bumper, if the bumper comes off so do the lights and the wiring gets damaged, I know that from first hand experience :doh

Does the swan neck come off like barrbeast said?

Lol. Sex toy. You are welcome to reverse onto it
There are two big bolts through it but it would leave two plates hanging down:nenau
I was going to take the whole thing off

Ah right, they would dig in and bend and allsorts of not good things, best to take the bugger off then mate, the bumper has quite a bit of bend in it jus go steady with me, and it's not like anyone will laugh if summat drops off
