Oh ya....several times! A quick reshaping with a gentle tool and all things were great again. BTW, I think it looks cool, almost "fast and furious" looking?
Also, during the dinner the announcer was looking for any "Newly weds" or anyone celebrating their anniversary....we think they were looking for you guys! Happy anniversary!
maybe just furious lol and Thanks, I really wanted to go out thre but with the new job and being complely on the east coast kinda killed it this year. So we went to the Spring Tide Ride in NC. I just dont know how many more Events I can get by with for anniversarys lol.
I think you better keep her

Before and after pic....I like the "dirty" look!
Got the Stockton wheels on and got it on the road again. I love the ride and look of these 15x8 steelies. I also tested the ARB lockers on some hills and was amazed with the climbing ability on loose gravel!
Still working on the power station configuration. Should have it done Sunday. I also fabbed up some brackets to hold the ARB airlines in the engine bay and a piece of emissions gear that was attached to the air cleaner assembly.
Here's a couple of pics.
Long day....time for a....

Some 60 stretching...
And the mythical "land Cruiser Mechanic Guru" that awaits all land cruisers on the mountain summit to provide wisdom, knowledge and routine maintenance...

Lone warrior camp on the "over nighter" and the main tent at BFE...
It got very windy during the over nighter, so I have sand/dust in everything, but was still a fantastic time!

Thanks, but all the credit should go to Ex for chopping the wood for the fire....

Hey Brit I may have missed something but I thought you were locked!? What's with you spinning a tire and being towed in that one pic?
Oh wait your backup lights are on, you're the one doing the towing! My bad. There's still a tire spinning and one stationary--were you just proving your manliness by doing it unlocked

I was trying to push him with the tow strap, but the darn thing failed...I need to get a new pushstrap!
I was locked in the rear but the creek bed sand was a little loose...I then went around and pulled him from the front (using the defective pushstrap)
Thanks!
You have any pix from the run?

That's a nice series of pics! Yeah those push straps only seem to work right straight out of the package then they're really only good for pulling.
Would someone like to explain a push strap, never heard of one. Pretty straight forward cus of the name, but how do you use one?
Attach it to the 'pushed' vehicle at a VERY sturdy point. The 'pusher' vehicle is not that critical, but as mentioned, your push strap has to be new and not abused like BitKLR's. He used to get pushed a lot before he got the new ARB's.
A nice steady push will get a vehicle out in no time, unless the sand is soft.
Do a search on push strap.

A push strap is what you use so your ego doesn't take a beating. Always funny how the guy doing the pushing is the one in the hole.
