I'll second what Brocky said You do some amazing things and have some fantastic adventures that we are lucky enough that you share these with us all Thank you Paul

So a couple of answers I don't think it matters at all if your to top gear in reverse So backing a dog trailer (thats what we call them out here) is pretty common, backing two dogs is a challenge Apparently plenty of farmers in north America do this with hay trailers I can back two dogs, I can back a semi with a dog Am I competent ? Well yes but not as good as some a possible better than others I have certainly see blokes back road trains that are pretty good, I lack depth perception, dunno if I always have but certainly in the last 30 years or so I have little depth perception over 10 feet away, backing a road train with 80 feet behind me requires not so much correction but checking more often than most Placarded loads can be lot's of different things, even fertilizer I guess like urea can be, nitroprill would I imagine be a placard load Paul

WOW Get your Rocks off Paul

Well from about the 40 minute mark, Buntine "Power and the Glory" Paul

Haven't seen that movie in over 30 years Paul

Have a read through this thread, ut may help or maybe just confuse the Dynatard understanding Paul

If my memory is correct, which is doubtful I reckon the head bolts are 220 pound so thats pretty tight, yeah a breaker bar and pipe as Geoff suggests is probably needed Paul

There's another thread were the chassis is getting done, Vlad rivets the chassis back together and all All very impressive stuff I'll let Vlad tell the story as it's his story, or do a bit of a search and you'll find it all Paul

Here you go Bob Paul

Yes when I nail a big roo it really shakes the whole truck pretty hard Paul

If I took a tyre back to a tyre shop like that I wouldn't get any warranty The story would be "you've bumped it on something" or "you drove something into it" I have had a few tubed tyres do this for no apparent reason I have tried to claim warranty and got no were I guess the tyre shop also has to be able to prove to their supplier that the tyre was faulty and the tyre shop knows what they can and can't get claims on And I also guess I have to be able to prove what happened and that I didn't bump it Tyres are cheap these days and it just isn't worth the aggravation And I only have 1 tyre service in town and I have been dealing with them since the beginning of time, I'm kinda loyal and they have always been there for me on shit drought years Still a bumber about the donut, but she's still a sweet ride Paul

Good luck with this, hoping it all goes smoothly for you Paul

Good job Vlad, was wondering how this was ticking along You've certainly got it going on now Paul

WOW, that's amazing Glad you found the problem, you have to get this all back together as well Paul

FFS, you are really taking this retirement gig seriously aren't you bob 😂 Paul
