Then went over to Malaysia for some little 4wd event that they had on...
We rolled out in a 120 truck police escorted convoy which was awesome!

Pissing down up here in the north, might go find some mud to play in tomorrow...
Re: 13th & 14th December
Not sure where you are It has been pissing down most of day in Pukenui, Water Tank is well and truly full which is always handy.
Re: 13th & 14th December
Threw the front lift springs in the 185 then modified the gaurds/flares to take the 33 muds. no rubbing during onroad driving but some slight rubbing offroad but happy with the result looks much tougher now , just need to buy some rear springs now
And an articulation shot next to nothing in the front but the back works sell for standard.

Re: 13th & 14th December
some good weekend shots popping up
Unfortunately I don't have any But I have made progress on getting cert which leads to hopefully some weekend action shots Last part of cert done today, welding caps on my side bars so they don't cookie cutter someone. I also did the old surf torque converter lockup switch mod, works wicked Should have done it 7 years ago!!! It's going to be a trip to auckland in the surf I'm looking forward to finally

camped the night, ran into two D.O.C rangers who gave us permission to shoot pests on site so shot 4 goats, 2pigs, a dear, listened to some kiwi's during the night around the campfire.

Finally pulled finger and got a WOF.
Now to fit the Detroit Locker and the 4.3s for some summer fun...
Look out for me when I inevitably get suck (because I've broken a delicate Lada axle or more likely because I haven't 4x4ed for several years) around Chch over xmas and don't know any locals to give me a tow

Perhaps if you remounted the spare wheels somewhere better you won't get stuck so much..

If you get stuck, someone on there will usually help out.
I would offer, but mobilising 4 children isnt that quick
