its all good and well but have you ever tried winching a landy thats sunk up to the door bottoms and have no where to anchor the winch vehicle to it dosent happen then you are left with te only option of snatching the stuck vehicle out which i have done many time with no damage to my 90 or the stuck vehicle its just down to where you atach the rope as for what to get you wont go far wrong with geting a good rope and a good strap they both have there own up points but kerr ropes are a big no no i had one snap on me the results where i needed a new rear door and a new windscreen not to mentoin a change of under wear it missed my head by an inch or two

im just about to order some steel tube for the rear tray and front wing and carnt deside on what thickness of tube to get its so would like alittle help the choises i have is 50.8 x 2.03 or 50.8 x 3.2 as i say it not suporting the cage or anything but will be mounted to th same spreader plates as the rear stays of the roll cage thank dave

the entry froms for the one day events are now avalable for download at http://www.badlrc.co.uk/winch.htm

first things first when you start building a challenge truck do it right the first time (unlike me ) dont skimp for the sake of a few quid but once you have started to enter evens you wont want to stop its just down to how much cash you have to spend i started out the same as you with laning and play days and slowly progresed to the challenge seen you can enter the badlrc events with just a front winch if you want as they run classes for all types of vehicals this is where i started and would still be competing if it wornt for the credit cruch but hay ho il be helping run it for this year you will never be asked or made to drive anything you dont feel up to and this is one thing badlrc events stick to basic go to an event or to take a look at some of the trucks there and speak to the drives they dont bite and will help you no end they might even have some bits for sale

well i striped the head off the engine today 7 bent push rods one snaped rocker cracked head and a destroyed head gasket so its now in for a total rebuild when the second hand head comes back from enginers pressure tested fingers crossed its a good one

first of all congrtulations to alan and john on there win you are truly a cut above the rest now for the damage which ended in an early bath for me (sorry chris you where a great partner we must team again some time) 1 rear diff (quick fix) 1 front winch (nead to strip and find the fault) endless panel damage (part off the fun) 1 blow engine (ended the weekend) so now its time to drage it into the barn for a winter rebuild in time for the 2009 northern challenge serise so lets hear you report for the weekend folks

dont forget big prezzi for the wife

boggers arnt e marked but i use them on the road and mine pass its mot with them

iv got to fix horn fix fan change rear diff and shafts wash and wax dig out warm clothes dig out more warm clothes get some beer and more beer and more beer and more beer oh and not to forget turning up (note to self dont forget to turn up ) thats about it me thinks
