Re: Napoleon hill

Re: [LN65] 2L-T Suggestions
Get the lowest ratio diffs you can, or fit dual transfers to get better torque at the wheels. And then drive it to suit the power you still won't have. Just like my 2L-TE Prado

No, Truck is set up with fwhs and spacers.
If it had the electric hubs still we would have come to you.
Having said that do you have a spare set of modified electrics you could sell?

Re: Lake Kaniere and Nelson Creek camping
Nelson creek has been getting more popular with freedom camper types in their vans. Good spot though. Goldsborough was a nice place to stay.
Another option for you may be the Scout Lodge at Kumara Junction. Kahurangi Lodge. It cost us $80 a night for three families

Re: Winch Square nuts
Back up the boat. You scored another 110? Awesome.
I hope you managed to hold onto the fruity bits off your old girl?
I am in the same boat s you re the winch nuts, if I can source some from engineers up here I'll let you know, unless you beat me to finding some.
What size/pitch bolts are you using?

I have seen a Vitara climb Mt Rochford, carefully. And it drove Tailings, Vitara was modified( quite a bit) and on 31s. If a reasonable number of people attend then there should be the option of multiple trips on some days so the Shinier/standardish trucks can head away on one trip when the bigger/M...

Re: Ln106 lift..
Spacers under your springs on the front diff is a bad idea, very very bad, it will muck up your steering especially under braking.
Longer spring hangers would be better, but still not ideal
