G'Day Chris,

Looks Ike a fantastic machine. You have fitted what I basically have sitting in the shed waiting to go in.

I seen your Sporty on the 4x4action website the other week.

I hope you don't mind if I post a link up so the guys can see the big bum.

top work.

would really like to talk to you at some stage about your setup especially the front locker as I have one as well waiting to go in.

Did you consider going to 10r's and obtaining the 5.38 R&P's to help with the gearing?

Talk soon
