Tom B's ML single cab

[Hymie]

Sorry to hear Bud Main thing is you walked away and no-one was hurt.

Hope you have a speedy return on your claim and hope to see you back on the tracks soon.

[brodical]

Sorry to hear about ya truck mate...glad to hear you weren't injured ...

[George Kyro]

Sorry to hear about the truck mate, i wasnt aware of this as i was purely just checking out your build thread.

I really feel for you Tom as i drowned my first one at fraser island when she was 28 days old.

Good to hear youre ok and wish you the best of luck with it all

[borngeek]

Yeah walked away with only a scratch luckily.
I agree about some of those tracks, just looking at some gives you the shivers.

This will teach you for trespassing on NSW soil without a permit.
QLDers ALWAYS run into trouble trying our tracks...

which one(s) did you try and where did it all go wrong?
This would be your second lesson in a year... Got the message yet???

//any good photos to add to up-skirt thread?

[mattz]

Ummm....ok, so I was going to wait a bit before posting it but sadly I watched her get towed away earlier tonight. I had an accident down in Coffs over the weekend and I doubt ill get her back, wasn't a single straight panel and the steering/suspension was a bit out :/ I'm glad we over engineered the crap out of that tray.
Insurance is assessing it and will let me know the outcome soon.
So sorry Mattz, you'll have to wait for the next build unfortunately, they looked truck though

Sorry to hear mate.
Did you save the switches
They do look

The main thing is nobody was hurt.

[Homer]

Sorry to hear mate.

It sounds like that tray saved you if it was another rollover mate. These Tritons flatten pretty well from accident photos I've seen

I had a tangle with widowmaker down there in the pouring rain once...was stupid to attempt it in those conditions....probably any conditions really as it is an unforgiving hill being so wide and hard so there are no ruts or banks to hold you if the car tries to turn off camber...or turtle.

An apt name for a hill it's certainly doable if driven right and good conditions...but the consequences of a slight mistake are dire...

One positive point to it is there is a little helipad right at the base for ferrying away the wounded

Coffs Harbour eats cars and parts

[snowman]

you can't do Widowmaker. your'e not even married yet.

you should have tried "makeyourmumcry' slope which is just around the corner.

COFFS is the mecca of ball busting 4wd tracks without doubt.

glad you are OK. piccies?

[Cowboy Dave]

I would guess piccies might need to wait til insurance is sorted out.

that's up to TOM B to post... I can get some tho if he wants

[Tom B]

Was just curious as I wouldn't mind knowing when it's up for auction as I was considering buying it back, if that was at all possible.

Don't worry Fridgie, photos will come in due time

[fridgie]

Not worried, just askin lmao

[snowman]

Parts and/or buggy, was a statutory write off seems I really killed it this time.

Well it was hardly a secret but it was booked into buds for a sas next year, so I might just start with a solid axle this time round, thinking gu ute, 4 link the rear and use a 233 diff instead of that monstrosity h260, then lock it, lift it, cage it and buy a wagon to tow it to tuff truck lol

[UAV]

Definitely no need to 4 link the rear and change the diff in the patrol. If you get a coil cab the are the normal patrol diff with factory 4:11s, only the leaf sprung utes have the massive Diff.

[spanked]

Pm sent mate

Just need to find one that the owner doesn't think is gold plated lol

at least you dont need to buy one that is straight.

[Tom B]

snowies on a roll tonight

[Homer]

I get it...on a ROLL

[UAV]

There are plenty of them around. I know people that bought gu utes for $15-$20k in good nick (paid $10 for my Gq ute). Don't worry about kms to much. They are good for well over 500k with regular servicing. Hunt around and spend the money on a coil cab. Don't bother with a leafy, they are a completely different chassis so it becomes a pain cause everything is made to suit coil cabs. (Bars, sliders, trays, ect)
