Right i know its not a greenlaning question or owt but, i have a favour to ask.

Anyone any good on a welder? i need a couple of tac welds on my winch to stop thieving bastards. beer tokens in return.

Take a big hammer and punch and bang the threads up real good. or use the real good loc-tite thread glue you have to heat up to release

Don't worry about it, best to get your winch sorted may take longer than you think.

Ha not a chance....Mid Wales Offroaders never get stuck.......unless of course they're on road tyres or driving a Smurf.
