Nice transition! You could probably pick up a light bezel/grill pretty cheap on here...
 






Welcome to the mismatched fender club! :D

Any relation to Treebeard? :p:
 






I'm old...........and just maybe I drank to much.....

.......but, I sure had fun.
Kinda got into my homemade wine a little heavy today and decided to see how well the old Mounty liked the mud around the pond........she sure is a mess....but didn't get stuck......even climbed the pond damn a couple times.
I had three off my dogs with and they seemed to enjoy as much as I did.
I kinda like the 'cammo' effect....what do you think?

Grey beard good looking mounty.
If you want I could see if there's a mounty in the JY with a grille and light bezel and I could pick that up for you. I can probably get it fairly cheap too.
 






Thanks alot Ice, but I am trying to find one closer to home right now. Turdel may be on to one an I got another friend looking also. BUT! if none found close I will keep you in mind and again, Thanks alot for the offer. I just hate to bother anyone with the shipping and all that.
Thanks Bro.........GB-out
 






Alright, just thought I'd offer. I understand what you mean about the shipping. I know a JY around had a mounty like yours, when I was last there, so if you can't find any local, just let me know and I can get the part(s).
 






Hit another deer....stuck in grill....

Sorry kids..........:D

this one even lights up, and makes folks smile and wave when I meet them on the road.
Happy Hollie Days all

The perfect Xmas accessory.
 






Thanks Lynchy
BTW....I see you are from western Australia, I have read of lot's of rain that is taking out crops and this has kept our wheat prices high. Do you know anything about this? Don't really trust our news sources so it would be nice to get an eye wittness account. I grow wheat in central Kansas so what happens around the world affects me also.
Any imput would be greatly appreciated.....mate.
Thanks GB-out
 






No worries Grey Beard, right now were 1/2 way through the first month of summer and its pissed down every single day. Me mate works at C.B.H. (cooperative bulk handling) and he's had a fair few days off lately because the grains just trickling in. Its really been a ******* for the farmers, either rain knocks it off or stinking hot days result in bloody harvester bans, cant win. On a slightly different agricultural note, we've just had the first certified organic producer have his ticket revoked because of GM canola contamination. Even his cattle cant be sold as organic because they've grazed the contaminated land. Looks like the organic diversification bubble that helped alot of blokes out of the s*** during the hard times has burst. Have a good one mate and all the best for next season. p.s that home made wine sounds alright!!!
