    Haha. That sucks don't it Matt. Expecting my mag today via subscription post.

    At least if you wrote the article it will be honest, well until Overlander recycle it in a comparison with a Paj.

      It arrived today. The story has been changed slightly, but not alot. They blacked out my big mr4x4.com.au sticker on the rear window . When I receive the CD with all the shoot photos, I will post some of the photos. They seemed to shy away of the one of the truck on big angles and lifting the front wheels.. I guess that wouldn't have fitted the 'tourer' angle of the story...

      I would like to publicly thank Damonat (Engine, suspension and trans mods/repairs), Samo (my fabricator and partner in crime), Chippy (my eleco guru in the West) and Feathersword (the wheeler and dealer of the team) for all the hours of work and patience in assisting me set up and build up the old truck. Something they touched on, was a plans for a larger rear fuel tank and commented they couldn't understand why I need one....

      If they bothered to read the end of my story.. they would have noticed I am going to need the bigger tank to feed the Supercharger I have planned in the future as my next major mod !

            Arrived in the mail today, look forward to reading it tomorrow!
            Had a quick flick through the pictures and before reading your above post thought to myself "I thought he had a big sticker on the rear windscreen?" ...guess they don't like unpaid advertising in their mag

                Got my mag in the mail last night. Flicked straight to the story and had a read, great photo's. Was wondering if PP was mentioned in your write up and they took it out.

                Other thing that got my attention was a DIY rear bar, could that be the next item we see being sold in the for sale section with Sliders, Bash Plates, Spacers and other brilliant PP Gear.

                  Hey Matt, did you do any filming to appear in a DVD some time in the future?

                    No they didn't... and I don't think I could handle the standing in front of the truck pointing to the bull bar telling everyone it is a "bullbar" etc... Na, I am not inclined to the DVD thing personally

                      Yeah mentioned PP and edited out..
                      They photoshoped the big rear window sticker out too...

                      I guess Pat's new forum might have them alittle edgy ?

                        you mean you they havent got a wide angle lense big enough to fit your boofhead in the shot as well as your car, maybe if they stood on top of mount sugarloaf and zoomed in they might have a chance of fitting it and the car in shot. cheers samo

                          supercharger..... your a mad bastard, but I like it.

                          ITs a shame they shy away from some of the better photo shots and angles. It doesnt do anything for the grocery getter/soccer mum imagine. people underestimate these things way to often.
