It sure will.

The TJ (which the rest of my family has titled "Judith" for reasons that escape me) is all ready to go, I hope. Finished off a few last minute adjustments last night. LED tail lights, fixed the horn, made a mount to hold the disconnects, installed a fire extinguisher, checked wheel nuts and tyre pressures after getting new rubber (and surprise surprise, they were all over the place, took the back seat out, chucked in some gear and tools.

Looking forward to meeting you guys in the morning and the TJ's first shake down trip.

My number is 0431120218

It was a great day, shame you couldn't come with us Nick. Big thanks to Steve for arranging and leading the day and for teaching how to drive these things, they are very different to what I've been used to, you can take a very different line.

Here was the morning shot at Maccas



We then drove to the track aired down and drove the track relatively easily, Steve got up and personal with his old friend from last week Mr Tree, but all was good in the end with no damage.

Heres the two rigs at the lookout



and coming down one of the smaller steps on the way out



Only down side being, on the way home I did a rear pinion bearing in, so vibrated my way home and my steering pump/box packed it in (haven't investigated which one yet), can't steer it under 1200-1300rpm, made it interesting turning right at lights a few times, so a couple of things to fix, but very happy with how my rig went off road for its first outing.
