A note for those that are thinking of thinking of attending this event.You won't need a modded truck to go round most of this course (as Skoti has said in another posting ) so don't be put off looking at what some of us are doing to our trucks.We are just a bit mad! Don't laugh! You will be soon once you get the BUG

Get it running

For me:

- Load up the torsion bar another inch
- Fit a spare black mod on Cooper AT3 as a spare (just sold my old alloys as a set of 5)
- Fit the Snorkel when it arrives, Not that it will be needed in mid August
- Purchase and Install CV Radio (Lez is helping with this)
- Purchase and Install Spot lights,
- Install Air Horns

And Maybe - Purchase and install a black front ABar and Black Roll Bars.

none of which is needed. My truck runs off very well without any of it. But it's still nice to have.

Ah nice one mate, I'm still trying to decide on the Spot lights at the moment, My job for the rest of the day is to try and decide on some, Looking for some nice square looking Spots.
