I picked up a front bar off of Briby at the nationals, not sure of the brand it is silver and without measuring it I would guess it would be no smaller than 22mm. I have a funny feeling I have already spoken to Todd as I bought a mounting kit for the swaybar on the back of the rattler and they weren ...

Got some GPS co-ordinates ? I will hook up the trailer and fuel the ute

When I got home I finished off a job I had meant to do for a long time - I had one old portaflood over these machines and it was hard to see on the linisher and even harder at the buff so I fitted a floodlight to each machine that comes on when you start the machine - much betterer [emoji108]
