Haha righto not from where I was watching. It's down to the tyres, wide tyres on a very light truck. The gearing is well matched too, most of the videos it's in second or third gear

4-5th July

Yeah I know it's a little late, but only just uploaded the video from Sundays efforts at Possum Palace


Also ripped the auto out of the truck as it was making some weird noises after the Easter winch comp.

Re: V6 Hilux Surf Project

Yeah I have been useless on this at the moment. Sort of lacking a shed at the moment while other projects are in the shed. So we are tacking onto the existing shed and extending it out 4.8 meters so the Hilux will have its own bay in a shed again which will be mint once that's finished. Also I have ...

Do these boxes have overdrive and did you just run it connected to the ecu as standard for its shifting or did it require some special wiring to shift correctly? Im going down the ...

Re: Winch Challenge Easter weekend 2015

Yeah very keen to have another crack at it. I agree with what new2zukes said, would make it easier for people traveling longer distances if we finished on Sunday. Leaves an extra day for clean up and would save having to take another day off work.
