I'm on my third Phoenix and now a current Shuttle AM, Pivot are the tits. When we all get together to shuttle in the forest we have about 10 Pivots between 6 people, we're big fans. I'm struggling a bit on the AM in the rough stuff, the rear end runs out of puff too quickly with 148mm travel...

How are you liking the AMP'd? I've got a mate who's been waiting on his to arrive for a few months.

That looks like the stock connector, so the door wiring is likely untouched. The closer I look, I think the PO has used hifi speaker wire for +12v/ground etc, never seen that before. This is how I wired the stereo into my Nissan's dodgy wiring/missing connectors. No soldering under the dash...

Was the stereo working at all before? I can only think that the speaker wires (red arrows) are something to do with the amp bypass. Any photo's of those extra plugs in the doors?

Just dealt with this in my Patrol, PO butchered the wiring and original connectors were missing. Cut all wires and put new 8 pin plugs in, the most basic kind of plug I could find. Separate plugs for speaker wires / control wires. If I ever swap the headunit I just put new female plugs on the...

Went exploring yesterday, ~60km. What was predicted to be a cool day with light showers ended up being a dry 33°c. Ebikes are cool until you get a bit excited and descend into a gully and end up having to carry a 50lbs bike up a steep, unused and overgrown hiking trail in the sun. Waratah...

There's a whole lot of fancy bikes and famous riders floating about for the world cup dh this weekend, but this has been my pick for favourite bike I've seen so far. So cool, looked brand new!

I've even got hot pink goggles to match. Not a dh trail at all. It's a hiking trail, nothing built up for bikes at all, but that's what made it so fun. Tight switchbacks at the top, lots of really good single track, then the lower portion gets real fun and a dh bike suddenly feels like a good...

Heli drop riding is insane. Mt Cartier, Revelstoke.

I'm overseas for 5 weeks, Mum is taking care of Ruckus for me. I've never spent more than one night away from him, but I don't think he's too bothered living with retired folk with time for multiple walks every day.

My direct flight got cancelled, 40 hours later with a few minutes of broken sleep I finally made it to Whistler but only had enough energy for a beer with the boys before discovering jet lag. My mate sells ESI grips, I ordered a few new sets for the trip. Funny guy... at least it's easy to spot...

Ruckus is great with little ones, a real gentle giant, but that kid had another thing coming thinking he was gonna get that ball back.

1300km round trip to visit my old man. Removed the second row seats from the Patrol to fit in extra dog beds, I think Ruckus is happy to drive around the country with me like this.

Worked over the weekend, on day 8 of 12 now, but found an hour to visit Mum with dogs and go for a walk. My old boy on the left locked his jaw onto my throat while we were having a wrestle, he was still a puppy playing but I just about s*** my pants.

Nice winter evening walk around the lagoon with the boy.
