Mine is private too. You can still link to the photos, just put them in a separate album, set that album to be viewable by everyone, and Robert is your mother's brother.

Quick update. Would put up pics but don't know how too.

It's not looking like il have it done for the wooldridge. Not enough time, really gutted.

Just ordered another batter, front shocks and rear shocks from llama 4x4

Winches have gone off to be modified and serviced

Cut quite a lot now, bump stops extended slightly.

Got wiring issues again, need to sort them.

Starting to wonder if I will ever finish if, how much I'm working recently.
