Very tempting but no money for a month.

I've still got loads of the ropes that Landrover Jack brought back from Scotland for us.
There was a list of us who wanted ropes (30 ropes in total).
I've passed on about half of them but the remaining ones are in my shed and I need the space and money (£2 each).
if you were on the original list and still want them can you let me know ASAP, if you weren't on the list and want some. let me know I seem to have loads left over
I can bring them tomorrow for the camp over.

As promised matt here's a few close ups of the bumper

Hope you can see how I got the tubes on without cutting in to the tray.

All finished now, split charge is working wired off the alternator, so opens only when charging just got to get a decent batt next week.
here's a full shot

Not sure if I'm happy with where I put the no plate but it will do for now,
Any way time for beer and footie come on England

Nice design, but I dont mean to sound funny but what size welder did you use because the welds look cold which can be dangerous with a winch

looks good

cheers pressbrake, used a sip 130 turbo mig on max setting as my arc welder decided to give up the ghost, if it dont hold i may have to bring it over to you to weld up for me as graham (george666) tells me your top notch and im thinking of having a cage done in the not so distant future

cool, if you do want them burnt in I wont charge

How's the camping going guys???

Pressbrake - just been on your website - the stuff is superbed and well priced! Might be in touch soon for bits.

Home now, good weekend, lanes around there aren't the best but found some interesting ones last thing, pics to follow no doubt.
As for camping, give me a crap travelodge any day over a tent the size of a coffin.

Your defently in danger of being labled a grumpy old man!

Was a good weekend, enjoyed camping over, the weather made it a good evening for fire and alcohol. The lanes were a bit weak but i enjoyed the forest in the morning and it was good to finally get some mud and get the winches out, its a shame Ian wasnt about to let little man get his hands dirty! Violets lane was ok as well, quite dry, few puddles, 3ft at the deepest part but nothing to gnarly

Think i broke something, got a click on my osf, its not when turning so not a CV but it happens on bouncing, think the spring clamp may have broke, will have to get it apart one night, other than that the disco done good...

So next time then, we need to be climbing everest or something
