I'm interested, saw your post on AusJeepOffroad as well. Don't have lockers or sill protection though. Will it be much of a problem?

Sorry guys, would love to come but am preparing for a camping trip tomorrow, I;m going south with some mates fishing and relaxing over the next three days. I just watched the Wattagans DVD from 4WD Action mag as well and really want to get up there. Nice write up on Ian and his "Ford" Willies in the mag as well. Next time. Jas

Thanks for organising the day Dave, and for arranging the weather to go with it. Hope you all got home safely.
Now when I get the layer of dust and dirt off the flatfender I will have to see what is wrong with the lockers.
Cheers

Had great fun out there, thanks Dave. Still getting the dust out, though!

Now, about replacing that right side step...

Thanks for the offer, TRBN8R. :) It was, indeed, but I've already used it as the excuse for a set of Blackjack Welding's Sidestep Extremes. :p

(On closer inspection, I think I'm going to have to replace/upgrade the trans case crossmember as well. It's also looking somewhat worse for wear now. And then there's the fuel tank bash plate... )

edit: On the plus side, the Donaldson Topspin prefilter on the snorkel did a good job & the air filter wasn't too bad when I checked it the other day. Not too discoloured & not much came out when 'tapped' on the flare, unlike another trip where I had the ram head on and it turned into a dust plate & needed replacing.)
