Jimmy, good to see yo are doing your bit for the economy. So you don't have to try and get finance for all the upcoming mods, I have a friend that pays good money for females. All offers considered, mums, daughters, sisters, nieces. Arabs aren't fussy atm.

Mate, is that your boat in the back ground? Cos i think you'll need a bigger car!

Have you got any plans for future mods?

well went out on the boat today and the keys got dropped between the jetty and boat in 3m of water. Was not at all impressed but dried them out and there working fine, lucky its not a nissan or i would be in the shit. On a good note i got some maxtrax and BRC diff breathers for christmas and santa bought me a tjm equaliser strap for christmas.

has anyone got some advice for diff breathers? i bought the front and rear diff breather kit by BRC. How much slack should i leave on the rear diff for it to flex?

edit:

have also got my stero install 99% done so will get some pics up this week. It might suprise a few people.
