Might be getting a ute in a month or so.... sounds like it's time for ute 'planking' :P

MagicJ · Feb 18, 2014

Just out of interest, what happened to the rear side panel of the ute ?

No idea Shane, was like that when I picked it up from another store lol.

NICE effort! As far as killing a ute, you win hands down lol. Snapping an axle is impressive mate!
Is there a story to tell about getting the ute home??

I give guys like you a wide berth on the road @Synodontis ! Next time I'll just wave, haha :p

Not my ute just answering the challenge :D

Where are all the well loaded utes & trucks in the country?

Pretty sure my old Landcruiser ute would have made some good photo's at times.

I remember carting 1400ltrs sea water 400kg of lime sand in one load.

Then there was the time I was pulling up the very steep (30 degree grade) drive way at home with a full load of yellow sand in the back and a full load of blue metal in the trailer.................. Then she stalled at the top :eek:eek:eek:eek Oh f**k I thought........ Brakes could not hold her there screeech all the way back down was loud enough to bring all the neighbors running. I did a sterling job at maneuvering the S bend back down whilst balancing the front brake and hand brake with all 4 wheels locking....... Well umm until I got to the bottom not so good at the 90 degree turn to miss the $100k boat o_0

Jack knifed the trailer into a twisted mess of steel and impaled it on the boat tow hitch :banghead

Then i had to shovel it all off onto the lawn to free the car from the boat and trailer. I think there was a lesson in that some ware about over loading :reading

That is a cracker of a story Pete!

Good old 'Cruisers! I love driving them (used to... don't get to now)! Turning circle is the pits, try getting around a busy shopping centre car park in one on Pension day, urgh... fifty point turn.

That's what my work ~~Barina~~ Combovan feels like when I do an ewaste run and fill it to the brim with old computer crap. A 1.3l with a truck gear box dragging (well trying to) a tonne of old metal and plastic that may or may not ever get up to 60km/hr (but has done 100km/hr twice with a tail wind empty much to the horror of a co-worker).

I was putting up a fence at my house one day when I had this dero guy pull up with a trailer and 2 kids in his car. He asked me if I had any scrap metal laying round as he wanted to scrap it to get some money to take his kids ice skating.

This is how he left my place

wow, thats special on a few levels. I helped my girlfriend pick up a day bed yesterday. It took 3 men & a forklift to put the 25kg bed frame on my roof rack.

I like hanging out at IKEA .... Funny watching people come out to the car park with their boxes way bigger than their cars, you see some imaginative loads there. :p
