    Very wise choice there MLC I haven't had to use mine yet but I've seen them in action on very soft, powder like, sand - worked a treat.

      A while ago Matt and I bought some sand grabbas. Now not knocking them but they failed for us and Matt's rig was not looking safe about a metre from waves in soft sand so rather than chuck them out, SWMBO took the issue up with The lovely guy that makes them. Gave us a full refund so I arranged something to replace them. A set for me and grabbed Matt a set also. Geze I look after that bugger...

      Anyhow, replaced with these:

      Nice pick up Mate, I would have posted in the Spotted Thread but wouldn't qualify without photo.
      Cheers Troy

          Mate, if your going to such lengths, perhaps there would be a compensating price drop for two?

                It was a stressful time, maybe more so for the heavily pregnant wifey sitting in the passenger seat watching the waves scant meters from the car. And all for showing some manners and moving to the left for oncoming traffic in that soft sand... Happy Days!!!

                      Sounds like AMTS is looking for his next project.
                      Mmmm. How about some Super Heavy Duty anti sag rear door hinges for the 120 series?
                      Made from billet space aged materials with self lubricating bearings.
                      When do you want me to pick up my set of hinges Andrew? Lol.

Ended up with the Tigerz 11 offset. Just need some of the pinchclip which AJ120 is bringing down next week along with my 4wding first sticker.
                        Nice one mate , Was the rope an ebay purchase or a local?
                        Whats a pinchclip?

                                Knocked up a quick 3D model with fake boltheads at the top to balance it out.
