Or you could remove a few items from your vehicle like Dive air tanks , Kitchen sink ... Spare Cruiser
that would shed about half a ton

Thanks, thought I lost the kitchen sink - where did you see it

Re: NZQA 4WD Safety Course - Wellington 30 Aug by wisard2 on Tue Sep 02, 2008 12:06 pm I told you Rick, concrete nails. I have used them for 20 odd years on PTO winches, with no ill effect on any part of the system. And yes, they will shear, but under a more realistic load Thanks, could not remembe...

HJ60

Thanks Sadam :evil: Lets put it this way - Skid earned some beer credits from me. Anyone have some PTO shear pin recommendations? Kind of getting a tiny bit sick of fitting pins just to have them break at the slightest load - a mere 3 tons! :x :x So far concrete nails and 8/8 bolts have been suggest...

The course is going well with lots of keen trainees.

Here is a pic of Jerry practicing the back seat driving component

by Jerry on Fri Aug 22, 2008 8:02 pm so when the 80 turning up :D Don't know Jerry. The owner has to want it sold before a deal can happen. Rang tonight and phone answered so expecting a ring back when owner returns home :| It may not happen overnight but it may happen before the Toylex :roll: :roll:

HJ60

Today was busy and long - thanks to whoever just cheered me up

Tempe AZ seems an odd place to host it but I expect @ almost freespeach the price is right

HJ60

You know Sadam, there are beer royalties on that photo - The poster shouts me 1 free each time they post it

As I typed, there are plenty of places to have ones forward motion slowed ..... I don't however recommend doing so with as good a sea view

Hi Marty.

The 80 is either much further in the future or in next week depending on the seller.

The exposed bumper just looks a bit untidy so keen to get it ship shape again

HJ60

Hi Guys.

You know how it is .... it was there at the start of the trip but somewhere along the way it "dropped off"

The chances of finding it are looking slim so if you have a spare I'm interested.

Red Rocks still open last Saturday using the small bypass.

Someone (roading engineer

) has dramatically improved the original work by closely packing rocks so whats underneath you barely moves. I expect they did it in daylight though

Seen in Red Rocks area on Wednesday by someone else: http://i38.photobucket.com/albums/e138/nzhj60/red-rocks-chopper.jpg I expect if there was more rock ready to fall then this sort of water dumping would have moved it so the track should be almost "safe" for a while or until next storm. :...

Hey HJ60, are you the guy in the 60 with the big ass aerials all over it thats always stuck around the coast :P[/quote] Grrr ..... get stuck once and they never let you forget it :) Have a digi camera now to also record the next ones I tow out. The great thing about the south coast is that eventuall...

Just back from Red Rocks to see if third hand radio news today that council had used a helo & monsoon bucket to bring the loose stuff down was true. The site looked almost exactly as we left it last night. While there one of the locals - landrover next bach south from the slip came along and sli...

HJ60

I got there a little earlier yesterday and meet up with the late model black shorty landrover. He had pulled two trucks through that got hung up on the rocks - one was a hilux that broke something in the attempt

Jerry gave me the pointer to photobucket:

Sign up as I just did (FREE) then upload the pics there and link to your ORE forum message as I will soon.

Hi guys.
I hear it all came down last Saturday evening. Had a look tonight just as sun going down a got a few pics.

Not sure how to add them to this message so some help would be appreciated.

Cheers,

Hi Guys. Warrant time again and they spotted rust in the drivers door near the top hinge. Panel beater is checking it out next week but suggested replacement may be cheaper option. The truck is 1988 landcruiser 60 series with door mounted electric mirrors. Any spares out there? Cheers, Rick. Welling...

Yes I was aware of the background to the missing Polish fellows case.

I will keep searching for the noted website.

Cheers,

Hi wainui44. Is your 71 petrol or diesel? I have three service manuals for my HJ60 get a slighly different perspective from each. The Max Ellery Landcruiser Diesel 4 & 6 Cyl is for: BJ 40, 55 & 60 HJ 60 & 70 LJ ?? Bundera You may find a selection at your local library that will point you...

Thanks Guys for all the suggestions. Did the Wellington south coast on Wednesday at twenty PSI and on the way back a chap in a Suzuki was keen to follow me out as he got stuck a few times. He got stuck again for a while on the way back following in my tracks. That was a bit interesting him being in ...

HJ60

Thanks Glen. My HJ60 is around 2.3 ton unladden. Your description of the plate, chain and box section was very easy to follow and yet another option that would I think get the job done. Not sure if I'm keen on all the digging that people keep suggesting but if the chips were down it is probably quic...

Hi, I'm new to this and I have been advised to run my BFG 32x11.5x15 AT tyres offroad at down to twenty PSI (tubeless). Onroad Tonys tyres have recommended 30 PSI front and 36 rear on my HJ60 cruiser and half that for offroad. Some of the locals have suggested 18 psi onroad and 8 - 10 offroad with t...
