In this old 4WD Action dvd I've had to go and hire a Troopcarrier because Milo's motor is out and down at Terrain Tamer where my old mate Alan Gray is supervising the strip down. There's a fascinating yarn with Alan about the condition of the 13BT motor, which was a grey import plucked from a little dump truck that must have got abused in it's early life in Japan. However with good servicing since it got chucked into Milo it'd gone on to do almost 400,000km before finally blowing. It's a testament to regular servicing, good Terrain Tamer filters and Penrite Oil - and you can see it all here up close. Makes you realise how much a real mechanic like Al can pick up just by examining the parts.
So I have to go shoot a DVD, but not only is Milo out of action the film crew is a couple of good looking young girls from Sydney - hmm, not the usual blokes trip at all! Worse than that they get to rescue me as part of learning how to 4wd! Wow, it's full of weird memories not the least being the use of an air jack to get the Troopy out of a sand bog.
I'll have more to say about air jacks later - they've come a hell of a long way from this thing that was basically good for one use before disintegrating from the exhaust fumes and the latest effort from the Bush Company that we stock in the Roothy shop is really good. Check it out at
Righto - if nothing else it shows how much adventuring you can get done even with a basic hire truck - it helps being in the best country on earth! Go on, get out there!!!
