Default one more bit

There where several trucks that went out with funny loads, being a engineering w/shop there was a lot of steel offcuts and frames, when the old chap made things he did it well, benches had 3/8" or more tops, old steam pipe used because it was cheap. Interesting set up for crane, from truck transfer case back to inverted transfer case, general lifting done with normal drive, lifting jib driven from front axle drive, all blitz parts includeing winches.

Looks like the Toyota owners should have brought trailers, on the positive side the front tyres wouldn't have worn much on the way home.

Default light steering

Rob the first toyota has a box trailer which also sat pretty low, the second one was not fully loaded the old hacksaw on the ground at the rear went behind the cab THEN the 3 axle car trailer also loaded. note the sheets of iron sticking out the back.
