WOW. Time flies when you're having fun!!.
Update:In the 2 years + since my last comment. I have lurked on the forums when time permits but the deuce has sat fairly dormant!!. It gets started regularly wherever it is garaged (not always with me) and I have had to live a life of homelessness and constantly on the road as my business has gone crazy with work taking me all around the countryside, sometimes driving 2,500kms at a moments notice!.
I've been in Orange NSW on an underground construction project, Boggabri NSW on a startup, Townsville on a Water Treatment Plant upgrade then back to Boggabri for a 6 week fill in role which has now taken 4 months and likely to take 6 more!.
I even brought another Holden Colorado LTZ and had the time to drive it off a freakin cliff 'Dukes of Hazard' style! (
Exaggeration but not by far! - see attached pics...) surviving hell or high water being overworked and underpaid with a crap boss...
However!!, Progress is at hand. I have rented a house in Gunnedah NSW as I am going to be in one spot for at least 6 months. So I have scoured the nation and gathered all my toys, my tools and bikes, even my Wife and Son!!. I have the SDub parked in prime position so I must walk by it several times a week and feel the pain of my heart weep as it gazes upon the damaged front end and sun damaged dash (Mt Isa killed my whip!!)
So alas, the time is upon us for repairs and more upgrades to begin!!. I have planned ahead ensuring a smooth process and no complaints by booking my wife a holiday which should ensure nothing but smiles as I spend more on my SDub!. (total win/win given that I get to go on holiday too!). I've started buying parts I need for my repairs with more to come.

- Bumper

Cheers!!
Treay.
