  1. Had one last week, where the client had our price and another. Anyway there was not much in the job was only £160. Any she had been quoted £75 for the job, but we still got it as we'd explained the work far better. Might be a bad example, but explaining the job to the customer is half of it not just the price Sent using Arbtalk Mobile App

  6. Congrats on TM. Took me about a few days to get it right. Couple of days rec climbing followed by a day at work and it was spot on. As for the extra gear loops I wouldn't bother. Unless your the sort to wear every bit of kit you own on your belt. The red gear loops are plenty. As for going a butterfly you won't be disappointed Sent using Arbtalk Mobile App
  7. From what I've seen on the hilux forum it looks a good clean truck. And the tyres are goodans. Still plenty of tread I'm guessing? Sent using Arbtalk Mobile App
  8. I've got a 96 mk3 hilux. More of a toy than a workhorse but it will if needed but a little slow. Might be time to turbo or upgrade to the 2.8 Sent using Arbtalk Mobile App

    I'm trying to find the pic/report but can't. I can't imagine giving up, I'm 31 now and I started when I was 18 and I don't know anything else

    Funnily enough my boss was about that age when he stopped climbing, he'll still do it though if needed. I remember seeing a pic of a blood stained harness on a spiked fence, I believe the climber survived though

    Spoke to the bloke I replaced today and the reason he stopped was a sudden fear of heights. He said as soon as he hit 42 that was it Sent using Arbtalk Mobile App
