speaking of 4x4 tyres, im glad im not buying 35” muddies anymore, you cant truely complain about cost of tyres until you buy big muddies or extremely high performance road tyres LOL

Good muddies in excess of $800 EACH!!!
Same for high performance, yet high performance tires tend to wear much faster, really fast.

My eventual plan is to own to sets of wheels/tires - One set for performance/track days/club meetings (showing off) the other for everyday use that are long wearing.


shaka on the tools Dylan. I spent a good portion of 15years buying a spanner or socket each time I went past a hardware or tool shop. A few bucks every week.

For the past 10 years I’ve been buying bigger tools like compressor, welder and other mechanical tooling. If there’s a tool I need or break (I break spanners/sockets often - even Sidchrome) I get them as needed.
My air tooling is getting larger if their need comes about the same time as funding is available.

Next big ticket item is a bench drill. Been needing one for years but get by without it, messily and not as accurate.

Those Milwaukee geared jackets are sick. I got one in for a customer of mine a few weeks back. Was so tempted to get one for myself.  thumbsup
