Lovely gesture mate. Thank you! (Y)
Don't really have much in the way of parts but there's a favour waiting for you if/when you need one buddy.

Trucks currently hibernating up the top of my drive way. Hopefully I can get this handle fitted before we get any major weather change. Having it leave the passenger door unlocked and climb across to open drivers door from inside every time is a ball-ache. (Passenger door barrel doesn't match my key so only locks/unlocks from inside).

I think for 2015, I will be either fitting the Rubber-Duck with a Derv lump, or a Vitara 1.6. Undecided yet.
I really want the Sami axles on, but the diff ratio will make it crappy on 31's. It's bad enough now on the 410 axles.

I'm back in the 'Duck! :D

Found a brand new handle on ebay in the end as the one you sent must have been busted in the post Donkeychomp. Was broken in the same place as mine. aha!

Laning tomorrow! Yay.

Yeah, but knowing the RM driver, it was probably used as a wheel chock or something stupid during it's journey. :P

Had a little fuck around today while I was airing the tyres back up for road use next week and decided to push it to it's limits.
Stupidly forgot that when you want to bring the lift back down, it goes up another 6" to release the air-locks before coming down. OOPS! :lol:
Luckily, with a bit of cringing, it didn't topple over.

And tested out the Go-Pro. Takes a good picture, and I like the 5-min loop feature, I have a dashcam now for day to day use. :D
