Simon, mine was always "dark grey" along the bottom since I got it 5 years ago. Just added the re-sprayed black rims
Now you just need the black rims
Thanks for the comments

Re: EC Offroad Adventures - Recovery Demonstration 2
Got back from the recovery demo just now.
We met at 3PM and headed to the open ground via a sandtrack at the back of the NMMU University.
We had a mixture of vehicles, Touareg, Nissan TeranoII, 80 Series Cruiser, Lanrover Defender and a Jeep Rubicon of Dirk's from 4x4 Community, along with the Colt and Triton of Chris and Barto from EC Offroad Adventures.
Interesting, and a lot of info was absorbed by all present. Nice presentation EC Offroad
There was a snatch strap recovery demo, and a winch recovery demo.
After the session, we all had a good play in the sand :D

Re: EC Offroad Adventures - Recovery Demonstration 2
Thanks Andrew
I tried that difficult hill you didn't get up and boy, did you dig some serious holes I eventually made it on the third attempt basically ploughing through on my bash plate as the holes where deeper than my little triton could reach with it's feet.

Re: EC Offroad Adventures - Recovery Demonstration 2
Perhaps you should have been using the Hilex, Barto ...
When your road comes to an end ...... you need a HILUX!.
Life is like a jar of Jalapeño peppers ... what you do today, might burn your ass tomorrow.
Don't take life too seriously ..... no-one gets out alive.
It's not about waiting for storms to pass. It's about learning to dance in the rain.
And be yourself ..... everyone else is taken!
