  1. fxxk me mate, that lookd like one trickd up landy before, did the biker stop?
  2. what do you plan on doing job wise?! or are there any areas that intrest you?
  3. smoked some strong cheese more like:scared1: .....
  4. i understand where youre coming from, maybe my humour diddnt come across as intended, i can see how it could come across as a touch out of order. when making the statement about rubbing it in their faces-i was talking, well joking about doing it litterally-using the photo like a clown with a custard pie as antis annoy and fustrate me through their lack of understanding and knowledge perhaps in the future i should be boring and be politically correct with no opinion so as not to offend anyone?! my latest girlfriend doesnt yet know that i shoot! trying to slowly educate her before letting her cotton on to the fact that me and my mates dont just go wandering around the countryside getting pissed at the end of the day for the hell of it! guess i wrongfully assumed that i could get away with such a joke in a topic titled "new shooting season" sorry mr garin

    husky make good(ish) dirt bikes. . .
  6. be carefull to get the cuts dead straight, or it could look awfull! why not bolt two hinges at the front of the cutout, bolt two tabs at the back, and linch pins, so the top folds up out of the way??? understand that??? or going off your idea: from my experience if you only have one support bar across the top, the sides will still flex like a rhombus shape-RHimage, stick a removeable bar across(LH image) to create triangulation-i gaurentee it will not flex then! the black is your original bed, red the truckman sides youve left, grey is support bars. hope this helps
  7. agreed, theres no need to fuel the antis with added amunition, even though it is only a bit of light humour. you gotta admit, that is a class pic tho, and its not exactly shoving it in the antis faces (which would be bloody good fun)
  8. college teaches you tonnes and tonnes of useful stuf, but also a lot of crap too, you'll soon realise that after a year or so of professional work. like being taught to drive a vehicle-your taught to pass a test, once you passed, you then start learning. try not to take what your lecturers take as gospel, with no other alternitave, and you'll do well
  9. built one for my hilux myself, comprised of two sides approx 2ft highxthe length of the bed, and the headboard. the frame was 1.1/2inch angle, the frame had holes drilled in the same place the holes on the lip of the truck bed liner, so bolts with wingnuts fix it in place(just remove the liner bolts and put longer bolts with wingnuts). the head baord then bolted onto the standard A frame at the back of the cab, and then bolted to the new sides. had another length of angle straight across the top about 3 ft from the cab to keep the sides from flapping about again, wingnuts securing it, and a length of angle, at the rear of the new sides, from the top corner of one side, to the bottom corner of the other side, again, wingnuts-the two lengths created basic geometry-triangulation, and meant that the sides diddnt move a mm when driving. to fill in the gaps, i had wire galv mesh, then thin ply on the inside when needed. still got the frame somewhere, will take photos if it helps?
  10. thought of fitting a winch to the front of it??? maybe a lift kit, and a bullbar too
  11. get to the yard half 6ish, bit of pisstaking and banter till 7, when the boss hands over the worksheets, gear up and outa the yard by 7.15, start making noise anytime we like-half7 onwards normally, do try not make any noise before 8 on sundays
  12. nice coronet cut that! unsure about the ecological value tho. . . .
  13. If the fox diddnt enjoy it, he wouldnt join in
  14. cheers the reduction is a walnut a few weeks back, the top two are from a lime and a chestnut on the queens green in cambridge where weve been working past couple of days gotta remember to take photos!
  15. Good idea, hes still got bills to pay! By coincidence, ive been talking to the bankmanager about taking out income protection insurance-bank will pay my income if i have an accident and am unable to work, for aslong as im signed off-up untill retirement age! anyone else have any sort of insurance? tragic. . .could have been worse though
  16. starting to remember to take pics!
