    I went for a drive yesterday, to try shoot a deer. Couldn't walk very far past where I drove to as the river was extremely flooded. Saw an 8 point stag. Didn't shoot it. Noticed a bit of a clunk in the suspension though on the way home.



    Oh I guess that's not meant to look like that



    Who needs sway bars anyway?



    Also got around to pulling off the PTO drive. Before:



    Hey I can see inside my transfer case (and it looks like it's about 1.5 litres low on oil, whoops)




    After. Shiny. Better not leak. Probably need to get some RTV on the gasket at some point


    The problem with removing the PTO drive was that I had a massive gaping hole in my transmission tunnel afterwards


    So I got stuck into some CAD. Only scrap sheetmetal I had lying around was a fucked front panel from the Corolla. Perfect, it's supposed to be automotive parts and it's even Toyota OEM


    A squirt of primer, some precisely drilled holes and a bit of vacuum tube as a seal later, almost looks good enough to be hidden under the carpet forever



    Anyone want to buy a lightly used PTO winch setup? It works

    I just bought a mint 70 series, how much for the winch setup
