Well this Friday sees us at our first comp the rebuild is almost complete, we have 4 days to tidy up a few lose ends and finish off but we will just make the dead line

First up this year is the ATECO followed by the Alpine and last but not least Vic Winch.

Couple of pics of us at ATECO 06

Had a ball finished 29th overall. Not bad for a truck that was untried or tested prior to the comp.

We had a ball, the above photo you really had to carefully pic your line and winch. If you hooked up on the rocks you could kiss goodbye to you winch rope.

Torque in ft/lbs. = HP @ 5,252RPM
500Nm = 368.7811 ft/lbs.
368.7811 HP = 275kW

The Dyno says that HP and Torque intersect @ 2,400RPM
Your 2F didn't even reach 3,600RPM and 2Fs when new could do 4,100RPM @ WOT, surely a well built 2F could do 5,500RPM easily. - My Hilux on bent Con Rods could do 5,300RPM After rebuild, only 5,000RPM

Dropped a 60 series axle in so now the 40 has a fat arse.

Went for a little play too and all is
