Yeah, as the tattooed one says, most stuck truck was me. I'll bring the trophy along with me....
I am not aiming to defend my title, incidentally. :lol:

Snorkel and some mud tyres needed me thinks... A life raft may not go amiss either :roll:
This posting may have been helpfull, on the other hand probably not... Either way, I may have had drink when posting it in which case it's probably not as helpfull as it could have been

Work safe, and remember all technical problems can be resolved with a hammer, the trick is knowing where to hit it and how big a hammer to use (I often find it may also help to have a spare bit in the shed to replace the bit you have just mullered ;) )

Work in Progress (or not as the case may be) I give you.... 'O-no' the truck.

Comments on 'O-no' the truck may be left here

Frank, I'll fit the BBB's air intake mod, but Lara's already got the lift and the MT's - Insa Special Tracks in her case.
Also, welded front and rear diff and manual hubs. Those last are important, because having only one locked means you're in 3x4 drive, and can actually steer. My mishap (thank you Gem) in Lara came from trying to show off and forgetting I had both hubs locked; Couldn't make the turn I wanted, backed up for another run and fell off the end of the bank getting wedged on a log.
