Great day, great pictures and good videos! my LED tail lights look really bright in your video, Mark. were they that bright in reality? I think we can safely conclude that you had the best tyres (BFG Mts), but I was quite impressed with my Duratracs although they filled up on the really sticky stuff (near the tree) . I stopped at a jet wash on the way the home - tipped the guys, heavily 'cos I left quite a lot of crud on their lot despite driving three hours home in heavy rain.

Just got in from dismantling the front brakes, plenty of crud stuck in the vent holes on disk and a big slab behind the disk itself which was starting to squeal.
Side tubes and brackets removed this morning as there was some nasty clonking going on .
Turns out it was both front drop links had worked a bit loose, all nice and quiet again
Need to bend brackets back and refit tubes, car looks to slim without them,
And the boy (and swmbo) need the step
John, I can't say the lights were that bright in the flesh. It was fairly dark under the trees - most of my pictures were taken at ISO5000+, so the lights do show up a lot more as the video is also amplified.
Mike and John, I would recommend you clean out your intercooler - they will be like bricks at the moment - did mine this afternoon and washed half of Eastnor out of it - and mines easy being an Allisport offroad one - the standard offering are a sod to do Mark.

Did my inter cooler yesterday while it was still wet, and layed on the drive. Blasting the chassis
Exhaust, etc.
Handfuls of clag from rear bumper.
Wheels are now back in a state of blackness
Bit of cardboard and waftywaft of satin black
And tubes will be back on tomoz, lump hammer and tree stump = straight brackets
The bent one on ns saved my air tank by looks of it.
and gearbox tray was full of crud and heavy too, hosed out and all good.
So much for a quiet weekend

Hi Mick,
thanks, i will send angelfire a pm
no worries about the tow - didn't think i could pull 2.7 tonne on that slippy ground - your ride looked smoother than mine, and i had to use the right pedal a bit more than you traction control boys
Got a few of you going down the steps too - bet that was interesting Mark.
