  1. Curved zubat 330 for general use for me.
  2. My old old 046 used to play up, turned out to be the tiny little mesh filter in the carb bunged up with super fine sludge
  3. Vw transporter kombi 4motion if it's just snowy tracks
  4. Funnily enough, the previous coronet cut oak i done, was for a private customer. He'd played in the tree as a child, brought the house as an adult, relandscaped the garden, drowning the tree in soil, killing it, and was ecstatic that doing a fracture prune would topping would give the remains a purpose.
  5. Really? supplied and fitted? thats a great price, i really regret not getting it when i ordered my Hilux, it was £2600 option over here...looked into it again and the local webasto dealer wants over 3k!! reckons it takes 12 hours to fit? (says on the website)
  6. What are you going to be carrying, and what realistically are you going to be towing? my first thought would be a mint condition mk3 hilux (if you live somewhere flat) or mk4 with turbo if not. Genuine parts are expensive, but rarely needed. My old mk3 would run out of puff on slight hills when towing a GBM Chipper, weighting 1.4t i think, otherwise it was a great truck. 3.5k might get you a d40 navara, but at that price id be waiting for it to break.
  7. At least they make coherent posts
  8. sugi bar? Lumberjack shirt and braces. Skinny jeans and dealer boots Go full hipster
  9. Why had the trees "obviously been neglected"?
  10. Have a look through the "Arb Trucks" Sub forum (which you've posted this in) couple threads down is a thread titled something like "DIY Arb truck chip bodys"
  11. Nice one Adam You staying there for a while?
  12. Any more opinions on the TP 760 with hatz diesel? Supposedly 10" 52hp?
  13. My mate brought a new one in summer Quirky to say the least, can't use 5th gear under 50mph otherwise insufficient oiling and gear box blows up, need to jack one corner up to adquetly fill with oil etc, but great little car! Videos of them towing forwarding trailers in the snowed forests of northern Sweden
  14. When does your trailer come john? What did you order in the end?
  15. Its just a breakdown mark, no need to crack open a tinny and go off the rails again.
  16. Interesting looking chipper! Home build?
  17. Just growl and bark every now and again. Perhaps talk to an imaginary friend. Be annoying back
  18. Quite proud of this, Tommer posted simmilar years back on arbtalk so I done simmilar in Monday, 12ftx25inch maple log, rolled up into the trailer. Diddnt even need 4 wheel drive or much throttle at all even on damp grass. [ATTACH]192337[/ATTACH] Ramps on the far side of the trailer down to the log, rope attached this side of trailer, across the bed, down, under the log then back over the top and to the hilux
  19. Nice truck. There was questions about VAT on double cabs over here too, but it was decided aslong as it has a pickup bed and a seperate cab then the number of seats is irrelevant

    New truck

    FWIW my mate went from a double cab 130 tipper to a dyna and hasn't looked back. Except the handling of an empty dyna on icy roads! He's looking at buying a second. The 3.0L diesel version and low gearing is quite pokey as i remember (from a past firm) and turning circle amazing, especially compared to a 130!
  21. Free hand on the oak, so deadwood, light thin and weight reduce some of the heavy limbs. Maple was heavier thin to let more light in and so they could see the water from upstairs. Couple more on the backside and some fells. Back again today for same again
