Where's that? Am in Tomarata area.

so beautiful..

most of the dome valley forests are closed to 4x4's. most of us have switched to bikes as there is there is more tracks/places to go in the area for them. the ranger in the tomarata south forest has an area set aside for 4x4's and there's the infamous dome track (as mentioned) we used to go to sand ...

hey Guys
mate of mine had his bike stolen on friday night from Snells Beach.
any info would be helpful

playingInTheDitch

do a quick search of the site. you wouldn't believe how many people ask that question. also set your location in your profile and maybe introduce yourself in new members section. maybe look at joining a club. apparently this one is good for the Wellington area http://www.ccvc.org.nz

I think I recognise that land cruiser. looks a lot like one I was forever hauling out of bogs over the last few years

Oil catch can for the bighorn should be turning up today, ready to go in all i have to do is tap a small outlet to the bottom, and plumb up a hose to go straight to dipstick. I did that with my old truck. didnt work so well as there was quite a bit of pressure in the dipstick from blowby. most peop...

I had this issue when I had my v6. cost me $450 at pitstop to get it fixed. they replaced the studs and reseated the manifold (shave, gaskets ect)

it lost some of its shoutiness but got some horsepower back

playingInTheDitch

sold my truck in the weekend. so, a basic run down for anyone else who has this issue: sourcing the seals for an Isuzu MU steering box - Isuzu only sell them as part of a kit. air flo hydraulics have the best price I could find. so for anyone in the future looking for these kits, go here: http://www...

took my MU in for a warrant and it failed on a number of things. mostly little wear and tear things but the biggee is a leak in the power steering. its leaking where the shaft from the steering wheel enters the steering box. I am having a few issues tracking down a seal for this and was wondering if...

looking for a right wing mirror. Mine magically appeared in my lap coming down a rutted incline when I got too close to a tree.

alternatly, how hard is it to replace the pin holding it together?

just did some little bits and pieces to the Moo.
some cowboy electrics sorted out and plotting the next repairs to get done.
would have liked to sorted out the glow plug timing issue but ran out of time

planning on sticking with my 31s. Im thinking of just giving myself a little more clearance underneath. could be Im just used to the terrano clearance but it seems to drag the bash plate on the transfer case a bit when Im in ruts as this is my daily driver i wont be doing too intense stuff. on a sid...

playingInTheDitch

I have migrated to a MU from a terrano.
one thing that was clear fairly quickly was the need to get a little more clearance.
Im guessing putting in extended shackles and winding up the torsions would be the best way to go about this?
do I need to look at putting in longer shocks?

playingInTheDitch

yeah, People with Terranos need to be particularly careful. Crims are targeting them now, been quite a few taken in the last few months

playingInTheDitch

according to the police website about 100 trucks have been stolen in the last 6 months - mostly older Toyota and Nissan trucks - from the Canterbury region.

edit: for perspective the entire Auckland region has had about 90 stolen

playingInTheDitch

Ill be selling my vg30 terrano in as soon as I get a replacement for it. needs a few bits done for a warrant

playingInTheDitch

this is common problem with Terranos. I just cleaned the contacts on mine and came right. been good for a couple of years now. they are a bit weird having a contact for each side
