Doesn't time fly, it is now January, 2009 and the jeep has been operational tho' the latter half of 2008 didn't see much action due to impending redundancy at Gen-i. Now that is in the past and I am happily employed again the Jeep has a new warrant & registration.
On Boxing Day I spent a few hours in at Rallywoods with Tony (Taz01) trying some steep tracks, in the downhill direction and getting well and truly stuck on the rubbish dump track. LUckily Tony's winch was working and he was able to get us both out of the mud & ruts. Only damage was a broken rear taillight assembly.
Trying to get parts shipped from the States has been interesting, the parts themselves are cheap, the shipping is not. At the moment I am looking to use a friend as an intermediary as I know she will sort out the cheapest shipping arrangment.
I have just wired up some switches that will give me more control over the automatic gearbox in the jeep, more ability to choose 1st and 2nd, and to lock up the torque convertor.
This weekend will hopefully see me in the Akatarawa's with the CCVC.
Take care, and have a good one
Cheers
Ian
