  1. I picked up a 2010 365 special from the bay for £280... was is excellent nick also bought a 3 month old 395 which was a piece of crap... the joys and risks of ebay .
  2. Big thanks to Rob D for my Sugihara bar and chains and other assorted bits all arrived today... great service and fast shipping , cannae wait to try it out tomorrow on the 395!!!! Just have to save up for the Alaskan now
  3. When I went Offroad with Morpheus I had a warn 9.5ti front mounted and another warn 9.5xp demountable for the rear, used only synthetic 12mm, had in cab controls for both front and rear and remote controls when outside vehicle. Also had kill switches on bumpers in case of emergency. Winches were wired from battery using Anderson connectors and 13mm welder cable also had a rally type switch with key so they could be disabled when not in use. I made a set of jumper cables with Anderson connector too. I also changed rear 9.5xp to an Albright waterproof solenoid too. You would need an aluminium fairlead as roller fairlead will damage synthetic line. Be handy to have a few different size strops and shackles and a couple of snatch blocks if you are pulling heavy items, not forgetting a winch blanket and I kept some pieces of vinyl from an old cuttainsider to place on the ground if winching over rough areas.
  4. It covers Scotlandshire, includes trees and hedging

  7. mine is straight up thru the roof as well, took the old chimney down and made the kitchen / living room open plan with a 2 sided stove
  8. I mainly burn softwood in my stove, get bundles of slab offcuts from the sawmill for a tenner each, use it to build fences and sheds then cut and store the rest for the stove..... have conifer and leylandii too which is mostly used for the overnight slow burn... built myself an 8.5 x 1.64 by 2m high wood store this year out of slab wood and an 8.5m pallet from the local engineering company (freebie).. some 3x2 £50 and corrugated sheeting £99...
  9. same happened to mine, used my 4x4 to pull them out ...

  13. Aye I find Ernie our 10stone Sicilian Mastiff is the best deterrent too...... looks real soft standing next to you but on full tilt the skin on his face draws back and he looks really evil.... he has a good sense of who is dodgy too..
  14. how about road planings, cheap as chips
  15. our Ernie is with Virgin, they have a maximum payout of £6000 on any one issue, he had both back knees done 2 years ago and with the meds they have now stopped paying out.... £55 per month for a 81/2 year old Cane Corso.

  19. Hi , Love the Argyll scenery but hate your killer midges!!! They jist love tae bite east coasters
  20. ordered mine 17.66 euros shipping tae Scotlandshire
  21. reminds me of some of the off roading recoveries we did zig zagging through trees... you should get anderson connectors for your winch so you just have to plug in when required and wire up in cab in-out switch..
