A short length of 50x6 with 4-5 holes drilled in it. D shackle at one end and pins to drive into ground. Or a old bale fork and hammer

you can make a pretty compact one with a lenght of angle iron, maybe 600-800mm long for a quad? drill a serries of holes mayby 20mm dia down each flat, weld a loop on one end so the angle sits on the ground with the point apwards. Make up a pile of rebar pegs and just hammer them through the holes in the angle iron

Haha, im pretty keen on going for an explore into the Oteake since my parents live at Danseys Pass and I have jever been in there, might not carry all the gear/accesories all the time but in a big area like that it would be good to be prepared for all eventualities. Bought a set of Kendas for it yesterday too, will get them put on sometime this week

Might throw a set of new tyres at it and I reckon she's ready to go hunting.

I think a set of good aggressive tyre is more important. Never had a winch on any of my bikes or work ones and we worked on some remote ,shit places.

I've got those sticky spaghetti sticks and a small 12v compressor. I once patched up a rip in the side wall that took 3 pieces and it lasted for years. A mate has the same shit but has a push bike pump as it takes up less room for him.
I also run Slime in my tyres and I'm sure this has been a major help in not having flats.

I wondered how they would go in a sidewall rip, would have to be one of the more common ways of getting a flat.

Did you not watch the ITM Fishing Show on Sat night? Matt was in the Clarence Reserve area and did just that.

Here's the latest off road transport, spent a a few bob on this but its pretty solid, the LED light bar (5400 lumens) is exceptional.
The existing quartz halogen disappear in the floodlight beam. The LED's are hooked into the high beam on a relay. Surprisingly
the Suzuki 400 2011 LTA's generator pushes out 300 watts/25 amps at 5000 rpm and this handles the winch and the LED's without
any fuss. Having the motor running stops the battery dropping into loss mode

That's one very clean quad.

Not for long, hope the LED's IPX rating handles the muck!
