Well I will kick this one off.
Rear wheels off and handbrake clean time before WOF. Only time it works properly :mrgreen: typical land cruiser....
Piston and seal change on one of the rear calipers, changed the other a few months back after a pad change and when the piston was pushed back the corroded area on the piston ended up in the seal area.. Leaked like a sieve.
Other one was fine, but was going to change it anyhow...
Its starting to go so good timing...
Also clean the last of the mud and silt out from Stadia...

Testing the flex to see if the 33" Silverstone's will fit...
They should do... But if not... bring on the body lift...

Well decided at about 1pm that it was a good idea to suggest to my flatmate that we should take his hack to the woodhill night run, so we went and got my tyres fitted to the rims, put a battery in, gave it a quick bit of loving and installed my 37" led light bar :lol: :lol:

Was well worth it, had a blast. Cant wait for the next one.

I didn't go and do the woodhill Got no lights but did go out today for a play in the Inagural round of the Northland 4x4 series. Hopefully will get off the ground basically an interclub for shiney trucks. Although quite a few club trucks there as well today for this round. Wife is spitting she zeroed every hazard is still lost to me by 0.21 of a point. Dam she's got a good co-driver

It's not really the weekend...but my weekends are Mondays. From herein I'm officially renaming 'Monday Mud-Days' haha. I spend way too much time out at Muriwai in my truck....so i decided to head out to Thompsons Track to see what all the fuss is about. It was nice and dry...so I was fairly confident (from what I'd heard) that I could make it up the Te Aroha side on my own. I did! It was fun as. Almost not muddy enough. Helped out some dudes in a full difflocked landcruiser on 35s out of a hole. We tried pulling forwards...winching forwards....before finally getting them out after ten or so tries backwards! A good day all in all. Mud all over my (shared) driveway! haha.
