I looked at making something myself but its not worth it IMO. What do you think about roof boxes on it? Too much??
-
Yes, here you go. Roofrack - 4 BAR ROOF RACK You can get the rack in any various sides so best to phone them, but there is no point getting fittings for an LDV when you have a custom chip truck so they advised me that the renault master fittings would be best.
-
I was going to PM you actually, the roof rack would be perfect for your truck. It has the fittings for a renault master van, cos they bolt through the roof, so a bit of modding and it worked a treat on mine. £229 +vat.
-
I want to put my old roof box on it, so we can carry a full set of roll up signs but I think it might be too tall. Maybe another roofrack on the cab and tool box and put the roof box there? Its lost is amazing aerodynamics now though!!
-
Got the roof rack on yesterday. Looks a bit odd but I wanted a proper one rather than just stick the ladders straight on the roof. Roller at the back is good too.

Yes, well done Jo!! Great job. And as for Mark C, well thats quite impressive, every masters for the last how ever many years but no win for a while, to still have to qualify every year and then get the win at last! Good job. I'd like to see the prelim scores to see where Jon and Beddes were, I bet it was close.

Apparantly........... masters: Johan Gustaphson Mark Chisolm James Kilpatrick Jared ???

Heres a bit of pre comp video from Chicage news. The 2010 International Tree Climbing Championships! (PHOTOS / VIDEO) - Leshock Value
-
I understand that the ITCC has been delayed, rain and flooding in Chicago yesterday so the whole thing postponed till today. Results won't be in till late tonight, if they get it all done today.

Cheaper to put a subaru engine in, maybe not quite as fast as a porche but not far off, considering the aero dynamics! There an newish '02 reg one near me I'll take a photo. They cost a few quid though!

More than happy to tell you what I can. I'm not a surveyor so I just carry out the work as requested. There is some decay in the main stem of the tree in the foreground. the whole area is open to the pubic in the summer, one path is just to the left of the trees, but people can walk wherever they want, and it is used for picnics. We moved the tables before we started work. So the surveyor recomended reduction and thats what we did. Sorry if I sounded rude, but if your not sure just ask.
-
Does reducing trees of this size and age as a general rule, improve their safety in this sort of environment No. As a general rule healthy trees should be left as is, IMO. Would I be right in thinking that you reduced the trees to prolong their life in that setting, rather than purely for safety reasons? No, its purely for safety reasons, because of the picnic area and footpaths, and because of the decay in the front of the two trees.
-
What do you think the location is then? How close is the nearest public footpath and how many people have picnics in that area every day?
-
Thank you very much sir! That was mondays job, lovely day for it, conifers and eucs for the rest of the week!
-
Turkey oak, well two actually reduced together.
-
Thats not a topper. But good shout all the same! Does anyone remomber supergrass? Or "The Supergrass" I think it was called. Robbie Coltrane walks across a sea wall with a cello case and opens it up and there is a chrome chainsaw in it which he then jumps into the sea and cut a boat in half!
-
Supergrass!
-
Works here too, he's got a full body harness on and a teather! Gay lord!
-
I actually think the Trango Cinch is a better product for the same application. Although all ART products are good, the cinch is just more versatile an duser friendly.
-
Exactly! I am a life member of DNA.
-
The knot is called a Schwabish, Steves spellign is worse than mine this morning. Its ok, VT or distel would be better.
-
I have an LDV and its great. Maxux is a different thing though.
-
Nope, its malaysian rubbish. Not even worthy of beign called LDV and thats saying something.
-
Try not to get too involved with the Ivy. I know its hard to explain but you need to be climbing round/over it not through it. And if you start clearing it to make life easier you will be there forever. Get to the top asap and unzip it on your way down. from a leaning stem it should all fall off like a big jacket if you unzip the top side, obviosly old pegs and branches will make it cling on longer.
