Went to a 4x4 Jamboree last weekend. Nice selection of 40’s, 42’s – plenty of action and some real nice mods! Most have been converted to Volvo C303 portal axles!
My BJ40 on the end!

Got it this time!

Beautiful BJ42 as I was leaving!

Great pics, thanks for sharing! What are those set-ups in front of some of the rigs with the winch lines hooked up to them? Is it for better/quicker access to the cables if stuck in the mud? Thanks!

They call it a Rooster Head. It is so they can see the hook/shackle when the beast is up to its ears in mud! If you have to grovel around low down, it wastes time, so hooking it up high is easier to find in the water or deep mud!

They call it a Rooster Head. It is so they can see the hook/shackle on the PTO to stop over-winching. They winch in, just until it pulls the Rooster Head down - as seen from inside the cab.

Very cool, thanks!

Surely there can't be anywhere in the world with as many 40-series still involved in serious off-road competition events!

You're so lucky being there in Malaysia Pearly!

Great photography too!

I always find the "ultra-lights" (Suzukis etc) and "supermodifieds" (which can have both axles steering, independant adjustable-on-the-move suspension etc, and whose appearance doesn't resemble any ex-factory 4x4) rather boring to watch in comparison to watching a 40-series. But sadly, 40-series are generally outperformed by these boring alternatives here so we seldom see more than one or two 40-series in our competitions these days.

I think folks still have a lot of respect fro the 40's here. It is still the King of the jungle!

Indeed!
Nice pics! The green 40 is a friend of mine.

Your friend is a lucky guy! That photo was by Dexter Ng, the rest are mine!

This one has gone past the point of no return....RIP!





Volvo C303 axles are really popular here!
