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..

Lets just say she wont be coming again...
ever....
Result, I'd say ..
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 surely the cage is their just in case :crazy:
You can be alot more keen and challenging knowing you've got the cage if you bugger up which lets you attack more
Oh yeah, for sure it'd definitely make you feel much more comfortable about it, and we all know how week they are in a roll anyway.
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!
If that's a d2 centre, I might take that off your hands depending on price
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
