Blue 90.. Wasn't there too long.

Front winch worked well thank fook, rear winch spooled out with the clutch in because i didnt wanna swim through the mud to freespool it haha...



It got about 6 foot away from the tree i needed to winch to and stopped working... Turned out my drive belt was slipping and not turning the alternator pulley..

So no power for the rear winch...

then when i got it going again it wouldnt spool in so i put the cable in the back and drove forward and reverse a few hundred times to get out... turns out the winch was working and the wireless remote had packed up..


Haha not a real good day to be honest for me, took the mrs for the first time ever, everything i went towards she screamed DONT YOU ####ING DARE...


Then she cried, so i laughed, that didnt go down too well..

:lol: I only laughed a bit, honest :eek:
I take it she's now going every time :p
 
Put it this way, never had to winch myself out since having them fitted...

She was shouting and swearing as i was rolling backwards i turned to her to tell her to shut the #### up... As i am a gentleman and speak so nicely to her.. of course those words didnt get to come out my mouth and the back passenger wheel dropped off the hill and it nearly went over...

Thank fook the winch worked haha..

Need some better batteries youf I winched a few times with no engine running whatsoever :D

Haha I had no passenger and if I did it would be my ci driver who would say "go on kid give it some :D " so don't really have that problem :p was on a fair lean once but knowhere near rolling and if I did ... meh got a cage :p

I break something every time I go to holymoorside :(
 
Indeed but i did get a headache from all the whining...

I do need some good batteries but for the cost compared to the amount of use i get it just isn't worth it at the minute, I want a cage next so i can roll it atleast once per play :)

Why would you want to roll it :eek: surely the cage is their just in case :crazy:
 
Oh yeah, for sure :D it'd definitely make you feel much more comfortable about it, and we all know how week they are in a roll anyway.

I don't have any fear of rolling now :) been close a few times since fitting the cage whereas I probably wouldnt have put myelf in thise positions withouf one and from it I got further in the trails :) plus theh push trees and bushes away and look awesome :D
 
Random, I know but what size are yours tyres? I've got a 90 wondering what's best and what's your suspension all way round I've got bearmach tuff back shocks all round and hd springs and the ride is harsh!

My tyres are currently 235/85/16 maltasia kaimans which are great for trialing but nit got the diff clearance for challenges so ill get 35's soon :)

Suspension is RRC heavy duty rears, which ara actuallu softer than standard 90 spings but about 3-4 inches longer free height, this gives around 2 inch lift aswell as sofyer suspension :)
