Few pics from LCMP on the weekend. Truck went well, only breakage was a brocken passenger side window in the hardtop from the tree about 1/3 of the way up Camp Rd. Man Diaper Road was painful on the leaf springs this year, dont think I've ever seen it so corrugated.

Got the vid from the weekend up onto youtube....goes for about 10 mins, so took ages to upload. 1st video i done went for 15mins, but youtube rejected it, after it was uploading for like 3 hours. Anyway, enjoy....favourite bit was the truck toboggan at the start!

Went out to glasshouse mountains again this weekend with some other 40 series, and a couple of 70 series. Broke another two windows in the hardtop, as well as dinted it and the door, and a gouge in the fibreglass roof, going to be time to soft top the old girl soon i think.

Heres a video from the trip, will get some pics up later.

Heap of pics from the 40 series run to glasshouse last weekend...and a vid too.

Have smashed 3 windows in the hard top in the last month, here you can see the 2nd one (rear quater glass) smashing out.

If you watch the vid, you'll see the small climb before this, didn't see what was on the other side, came up the climb and fell into this. Scared the crap out of me. Reveresed up, and drove out ok but.

This pic kinda shows how much we raised the front guards.

Some of the damge. In the last 3 trips, have broken 3 windows in the hardtop, dinted it, and put a grouge in the fibreglass roof, so as much as I didnt want to do it, am thinking I'll remove the hardtop. I love the look of it with the hardtop, but it just doesn't suit what i use the 40 for. Will be getting Brooksy to do a kick arse cage in replace of it but, and will make sure the hardtop still fits in case I want to put it on for a trip.

Went down the the Winter Wheelin weekend organised by Rhett down at Scenic Rim on the weekend. Only wheeling was dead end creek sat morning, then watched the others guys go up Cals creek, was awesome to watch. Makes you come up wanting a buggy/truggy but.

Didn't get any wheeling pics, but heres a vid from some of dead end creek.

Spent a long weekend out at Landcruiser Mountain Park with a heap of mates. Great weekend, nice being out there on a non event weekend. Finally got to have a run in Carnage Canyon, which is now my new favourite track. Damamged the roof more again, this time the roof cracked, so was probably the last time wheeling it with a roof on :? Am spewin as its going to loose so much character without it, but am sure Brooksys cage work will look ok.

Few pics, mostly lame, but will have video up later in the week of the good bits.
