[200tdi ayre]

No problemo, that is epically bright! Fits nice inside the bar too.

Its rediculous stood in front of it and its like daylight

Dad said as I was coming towards him last night all ypu can see is a block of light

Yeah ive got it as tight fitting as possible and ah high up to protect it. Its bolted on atm as I dont like welding to thethe cage where necessary but testibg this weekend so we'll see if it stays on

Rear winch tonight.

We couldn't find the spring for the ratchet, so we improvised


Works pretty well

And fitted





Just got to wire to the car and fit the rope

We WILL make it to the welsh

 

[Mr Noisy]

How many hours a day are going in?

Have you got enough time?!

What about snagging?!

Doing about 5 hours every night and all day at weekends

Dads been helping today so were preety much finisged now

It doesn't shsnag at all works really well

 

[200tdi ayre]

Massive progress today

All isolators fitted

Rear winch wired up, tested and rope fitted


Waffle boards secured down

Then sorted the front recovery points/wwinch hooks

I love tools




Dads been busy too. He's sorted the brake lights, made up the mount for the second alternator and wired up




We've also mounted the fire extinguisher, tidied up the compressor tank and a few other jobs

Just going to give the main beam a relay boost, make the doors close better and a few jobs like that then its just improvements

 

[Mr Noisy]

I meant snag listing, hope you've got enough time to shake it down for an evening and snag it the day after! But that might be a luxury

And what the hell is that tool?!

 

[Mr Noisy]

I'm gonna guess:

Magnetic pillar drill?!?!

[Mr Noisy]

[Mr Noisy]

If it is automatic then that's just omg
