Hi Derek .
Been reading some good things lately about the Runva , and also the Avenger. Cant justify paying 2x-4x the price for a winch that will seldom be used , if i can get a good one that works well and does the job, , will go that way.
Thanks, Trev

Hi Outback,
I don't remember the exact price but it was a little pricey, these racks can be made to what ever length you want, mine was made to the size you see here. Go to Opposite Lock near you and talk to the boys about what you want, and remember that you will pay abit more for quality.

Cheers Derek

Thanks Derek. I am wanting to put a roof top tent on mine plus a spare wheel.

Looks like the guy in your calender pic anyway.

I did the same thing with my Patrol a few months back. Now, I have a Prado (thanks insurance company!). Hoping to keep it dry this time, but crossing rivers is just so much damn fun.

Well I'm back from a 3 month Europe trip, so time to continue with the blue beast build up.
Hopefully the 3" exhaust system next month.

so was this rig actually written off? I saw the video and comments but can't work out what happened.

Yep the rig was written off, the electrics and water don't mix, its not this blue rig but the 150 I had before, this blue beast is more capable

Still waiting for the exhaust to come, I will get the upgraded intercooler done sometime down the track, and will post the results on here when I do.

the 3" redback xtreme exhaust system will be fitted on the 30th just in time for my Kimberley trip.
Looking like we will see a few other PP's in the Kimberley area when we are there.
