    I took some "alternative" paths. It has been said on the trip thread and other threads that you do not need lockers for Bendlebey and I agree 100%, HOWEVER, there is no way a terracan or any real 4WD without lockers was doing a few alternative paths I took as they presented themselves. I was on the prowl for slight deviations to play and on rare occassions found some. I can hear the words of an experienced member in our team who watched as the Prado went up a small incline (where the damage was done). He was standing there with his wife and after I got out of the car simply said said "right I'm getting lockers" and the wife just stood there nodding her head in agreeance. The two teenage boys in my rig at the time were equally impressed as we went up but I prefer not to quote them as their Mum reads my posts lol.

    • Finally relocated the winch control unit to under the bonnet. Pretty straight forward job. Thanks to matty for the use of the "M.A.T.E.S" garage and his supervisory skills

      Frees up the space for the third IPF extreme spotty.

      Unfortunately in reloaded lost pics this is all I could find. Other pics will show the spotties. The box is drivers side of the boonet area near the driver.

      • Nice work Mr MLC... That last pic looks like an ad for a split tubing Company! (Where would we be without it?)

            Mate, you should just wrap a BIG roll of split tube around the whole Prado, that way you wont see the bush pinstripes...
