I was going to suggest that if you did that to my ute you'd probably end up with a pile of assorted coins on the round... Not to mention empty coke bottles, McDonald's chip boxes, chewing gum wrappers, etc etc...
I have often said that if I ever roll my ute, it won't be the impact that kills me, it'll be the $200 worth of two bobs that will take my head clean off!

Mornin' being able to lift these up like that, makes it a very quick job of steam cleaning and prep before grit blasing. Of course I don't like to have them hanhing around too long.
Mike, they are Mirage wings and the palms you see are just part of my little "Oasis" here in Adelaide.

Just a couple of pics showing the spring compressor in action. The carrier had a busted spring and had to be replaced.

Morning/evening all, In between looking after my kids while my wife's away I got a bit mor done. Turned the carrier up side down, replaced the exhaust system and straighten the protector plates and also free'd up the steering cam and cross shaft. For it's age this carrier is in perfect condition. This is one that I got off a farmer who had it for over 45 years and has always been under cover and uncut.
