Solar Panels....

Picked some up on a Christmas Special from a guy in Melbourne.

Now all we need is some sun on Christmas Day to try them out, although the forecast isn't looking good for that at the moment.

Yeah I know but I can't help it at the moment.
My business partner got a new D-Max a few weeks ago and it's a ripper! It's a really nice vehicle to ride in. He won't let anyone (including me) drive it >:(

Where was the special on the Just Straps?

Fji

Google just straps.   www.juststraps.com.au
Link to specials at the top of the side bar on the RHS.
2nd special from the top. Medium recovery kit.  $196.35.  Includes 'premium' tree protector & winch strap.
I also picked up a distributor strap and joining strap - the latter because I recon I won't want to destroy fire starting material -a.k.a. newspaper ifI ever need to join 2 straps.   ;D
