paint thinner
Replaced back cylinders, changed the clutch fluid which was more like chocolate sauce! Took it to my friends place and then jumped in his BJ40 with Volvo C303 Axles, Supra Turbo engine, air lockers and a few other bits n pieces. Met up with his friend in another BJ40 - red with Ninja axles (no lockers!).
Drove an hour or so on the highway and then off into the Malaysian jungle for a bit of fishing - my first Kelah fish! Some great stretches of serious muddy stuff! The vid doesn't really show the steep angles, but all good fun!
Good fun! - YouTube
After the first set of stills is a clip where Lee, in the yellow beast, is towing Ben. The undulating slope was about 35 to 40 degrees! The noise of the rev limiter and blow off from the turbo was awesome!

Got my new cage tacked together!! Just need to add couple bars down the center and the handholds (and a bunch of welding).

Took my new Trasharoo for an overnighter in the woods.
No, I have my own well used pipe coping tool. There are also several free web sites I use to print out paper templates for manual coping. These work well when angles exceed 50 degrees (i.e. the top bar on the Metaltech Nose Guard). 50 degrees is about the practical limit of most "standard" pipe coping tools and hole saws.
