            I like the cut of your jib. Handy vids.

            Nice rig, by the way. Is that screen a roo deflector? Ever had one splat on your windscreen?

              Hi O4,
              Which screen are you referring to??
              I've been to Steptoes place lots of times and I haven't seen anything similar to this anywhere.



              That's the sort of gear required if you have a roo "splat" on your screen as they are quite sizeable over here.



              The one in the pic here is a decent size for an eastern grey, but the big reds in the outback are huge.................

              Or, was that just a typo in your post?

                Talk about rodents of unusual size... ROO: Rodents of Overt Oversize-ness!

                There's a video of Steptoes driving his rig and there's a mesh screen on the lower part of the windscreen on the outside of the rig. Although after seeing the size of those roos I doubt it would do a lot of good.

                I suppose you will rue the day one of those crosses your path on a highway eh?

                  2014 annual rally

                  We had our rally in early May, ,
                  One of the fellas that came from Adelaide, a full 3 day ride broke both rack brackets,
                  We borrowed a local suzuki dealers w/shop and fabled up a new set,

                  This is a bit of unedited fun with 4 experts
