looks crooked but I don't think it is.

I quite like that bar

Might try something similar with the rover.

Ha cheers for that, will rename the forum.

I think I'm going to create a forum on here for those of us that branch out into the offroad racing scene and want to share their experiences here. Mainly for the taupo 1000 it would be I reckon.

Just remember, any body lift now requires cert. If you're going to get a cert then do all your mods straight away that need it. 33's (2 inch suspension and 2"body lift to fit) rear disc conversion, rear panhard drop bracket. That would be minimal, then if you get bit hard, you can go for a SAS ...

That's three years of driving for me, if not more! Unreal!! Is your seat worn out? how are the tyres? same ones?

just click the upload attachment button bottom left of screen on pc.

The more you mod the more you will need that idler brace. So do that before you need to replace the idler arm, like I didn't do :roll: The 42nd traverse from ohwanga, which bypasses national park, will be opening soon and that is always a good trip, very scenic and great for standard vehicles, but a...

Hehe yup next in line. Can't use that till I have something to tow it with

It's been two years since I've got back from the islands so I thought it's about time I got the surf out of the shed and road legal. Rear disc conversion is almost done. Just finished modifying rear bar for receiver hitch plus two extras which allow for motorbike frame and recovery points. Strengthe...

Especially Maurice Anderson and Carol Anderson from Northland. It's the right to entitlement that seems to breed through so many kiwi's that really gets me. I'm posting this so that they are forever "famous" on the internet for google searches. From stuff. A couple who loaned money to thei...

Made some new chassis brackets for the rear sway bar (Which came down from JAFA land - Wohooo) and got that and the front mounted up. Thought I would test it and nearly ended up in the bank :shock: Handles like a bloody race car now :twisted: Tomorrows job, handbrake cables and modify rear towbar fo...

Don't know but if you don't buy it I will !!!!!!

Hauled the surf out of storage and removed the hand brake cables ready for being modified for the rear disc conversion. Discovered leak in new brake hose (thanks stinky) - bugga! Converting old bar and towbar into receiver hitch plus two extra hitches to take motor bike carrier and recovery hooks. T...
