Its quite entertaining watching half a dozen grown men try and unbog a landcruiser ute with at least a tonne of logs on the tray. When they have a truck with hoist right beside it. Why they didnt unload the truck I dont know....
Fortunately they didnt see that I have a winch. No way I would have wanted to have them want me to use it in that disaster. When I got home, the neighbour said they were already bogged for 3 hours, almost 2.5 hours later and they just left... And they handle chainsaws...Last edited by 150D4DNikki; 20-02-2013, 06:09 PM.

I guess I have to say I am impressed that you can remove the metal 'key' and leave the electronic box in the car safely locked away. With the kayaking we do it was a pain the keep the smart keys in watertight bags and tie them in or on the kayak somewhere. This way just removed the metal bit and lock the now inactive electric bit inside. Key on rope around neck and no problem if it gets wet. That is definitely an improvement. Haven't driven the 150 enough to have a favourite bit, just 120km on the clock.My 150 build - http://www.pradopoint.com/showthread.php?27423-A-Random-approach-to-a-Bluestorm-150-GXL-D4D-automatic
