Is that just ordinary bated breath, Gonz, or the upmarket, elite-type, master bated breath?   :undecided:

I wouldn't have thought you'd cut a hole in the bumper Rick :Shocked:

I probably have enough tubing and filters here to have made something pretty decent for induction :(

the only way to do it Craig,bumper is stuffed anyhow from the last time I hit a roo,once happy with everything I'll finish off the body work,the bar aint coming off until either Alvin dies or is written off,as for the induction,tubing wasn't the issue,once I get the proper screen it will look better and where it is,I'll just have to clean my filter more often(have a cleanable Hi-Flow filter in the standard box)

Masterbated breath just doesn't sound like something for which anyone would pay a premium. :sicky:

Looks like a good job Rick!! i like the LED lights too!! i have two on my old Toyota HyLux and seems to do a great job turning everything white at night like Flood lights where did you get the bar LED? who makes that one?
i have to do lot of night time bush driving now so know how important they are.
Have had a few close call's with roo's lately, & was a big Blue Roo that hit my first FD lot of damage.

Is she called Dolly because you intend Parton ways soon?   :undecided:
Or because she's a clone of a sheep?
