On the off chance that any one has a TPS plug / or loom that we can butcher, for a lexus lying around, can you give me a yell on my mob 027 3546466.
Beer vouchers of course, thanks, cheese.

The yank post, you are talking about, is a guy Jaffa on here. Don't know him, but he has done a nice build, and some real good tech. Haven't bothered to search post, but remember cause I was interested in this to, pretty sure that he said was impossible to deal with the Italians. Not sure if he is s...

Didn't think they were as expensive as that, not from force4 anyway. A low mount viper is around $5.5k, $8.5k will get a full race spec twin motor hornet, with bow2 motors :D Think phill is the only NZ agent? We have a lot of their product on the comp truck, and love the Red winch, but agree, it's a...

The certifiers I would recommend talking to are: (a) Jon Palmer - Timaru Jon is good in the fact that he is a race car guy. He is quite practical and he comes up to Christchurch on a Thursday to inspect cars, so you can ring and book him for inspections. Phone: 027 4837529 (b) Another user friendly ...

I can prob help with secure storage in chch. Round dates aren't set yet, but I'd plan for 5, or so. Fluffy and Phil (Force4) are I guess Robin(sp) seriously looking at doing some, if not all rounds. 2016, is going to be a big year, in the top class's. Cool to have more Nth Island guys down. Sure tha...

If it's any use to anyone, my race trailer is going to Auckland via tokaroa, empty on Wednesday lunch time - short notice, and you need to get your truck back, but could transport a comp truck to Auckland, and probably find some where to store it, before competition. Call 027 3546466, if you think y...

When space is tight, try mounting all your big electrics on a sub member / removable panel. That way all the heavy cabling can stay connected and in place, while the mount is put back in to it's permanent position. Check this out to see what I mean. Most of the heavy wiring doesn't get touched, once...

Thanks Timmy, will pass on to the owner, I'm not the land rover nut Thank F*%k lol.

Thanks for every body's suggestions. A Sunday road trip to Queestown return, has seen us collect an OK-ish gearbox (fingers crossed) that is going into Barney today / tomorrow. A few other tidy up bit's to do, and we are up and racing again.

See every one in Nelson.

My driver brought the 110v8 that was for sale recently. Have been getting her ready for Nelson winch comp, cheers phil@force4. Stripped the gearbox and found half the other mechanics tools in there still! (50mm end of a punch & same size snap on Phillips drive) Muppets! Has rooted the lay shaft ...

keep an eye out on Jono's face book page, shortly I will be up loading the videos of the weekend runs. 9 Camera positions in total. This is just a tease from one camera facing out the back, above the exhaust.

sump in place2.JPG front tower brace engine.JPG Try a modified sump? drop in a lower pick up point and at the same time increase the overall width - this means extra oil in the system, plus when you are on a decent lean, the pick up is still in the oil. Then for added insurance, use an accusump. Be...

Red winch make kits for landie's. complete set up, bolt on. My mate has just brought one of the flash 2 speed set up's from Phil at force4.

I saw this a few years back at ricks place pre-earthquakes, was an 80 series on 37's with superior flex front arms, big ammo case on the top, winches front and rear, fox shocks, shit load of lights, was owned by an Alaskan guy who was selling it before leaving the country. Just wondering if anyone ...

Hopefully for November Leigh, maybe a round or two in the Nth island also. Are you going to race next year?

winch2.JPG Finally had a chance to look at the new winch going into the toy. Think this must be one of the first ones into New Zealand? It’s being mounted as a back up to the main winch in the new challenge truck JRC is building. – Not exactly a new truck, but more like dads old axe, with 2 new hea...

Also heard from JRC, that they are doing a 36' 37' and 40' which will be cool. - if they make it to NZ, our market isn't exactly huge.

Do you want to winch forward? or are you after a recovery winch to drag yourself out, like this set up? Jono's not long ago finished it.

Mate, talked to Jono, he's interested in the cage maybe? but did remind me, my old cage is at his place still, it's for sale. short clip of cage on truck. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vgx1hc5GikU We have keep the back stays and main hoop, but the rest is there. call me if interested and I'll pass ...

Jono at JRC is the best fab guy I have delt with / seen by miles. PMC was his old business I think, be for he sold it and moved on. There is a fair waiting list, but if you want a wicked cage that doesn't look like a recycled farm gate, he is worth talking to. My challenge truck is there at moment. ...

We are hopefully putting a A350E auto transmission into the challenge truck. This gearbox is used in lexus 300GS in 98 and has appeared in a few other overseas models of different cars – Volvo and 4runners (2wd ones I think) supra, and fj cruisers 2007-2011)maybe these are 2wd overseas? I don’t know...

NOBDY

bump, silly offer of $10k at moment. I'd sooner take the glass and battery out and put him on concrete at the play ground for the kids to 4wd in

reserve is $14k with all the good bits.
