Thanks mate, autos seem popular at the moment and its good to get some feed back about the manuals and how they perform with the the style of diesels. Like you I have always had manuals except for one car.

Hey Mick, whats the latest on the BT50?

Hey MM, nothing much, still waiting on the bar.

Got a call from OL last week saying that TJM has sent of the first run for powder coating, which means that it should be here soon.

Once it arrives here it will be powder coated with Aztec silver, then winch and lights will be fitted.

As soon as this happens I will post some pictures, I was told that it is bar number 2 off the production line, bar number one is going to the bloke who took the pictures of the trial bar.

Have you got the canopy on your but yet?

Well, I was told today that the bar is officially on its way. This means that it will get power coated once it get here.

So fitting date will be the 8th of November.

Pictures will be up as soon as it is done.

Great news Mick, are you getting a winch installed as well?

Yes, I am getting the TJM 9500 synthetic fitted, along with my UHF and Lightforce 240 Lights. I missed my lights and UHF.

WIfey took the BT in this morning, as she works near the OL/TJM dealer. Fingers crossed she drives it home tonight.

CD, the front didn't drop much at all, probably only about 10-12mm
WIll ask tomorrow how much the bar weighs, only picked it up late, they forgot to give me the winch controller remote, so I will need to get it tomorrow.
