I guess someone will make a decision on this later in the week and post a decision up on here.

Could be keen to have a look at the Ashley. Haven't been there for a while. Have to put in a show for the Toyotas.

I was chatting with Nev about the mudplug yesterday. He said he was planning to do a ring around over the next day or so to let people know what was happening but all is looking good at the moment. He also said that there have been a few trucks pull out due to mechanical and transport problems so ...

Anybody want to listen to a bit of advice,------- If the vehicle you are going to enter is your family vehicle or the one you are relying on to go to work on Monday morning, or you are new to offroading Don't enter. Come along and watch or even volunteer to marshal, watch and learn, who is going to ...

We need some good quality women to keep us fed this year I reckon. What about trying the Tui girls?

Mike, How long do you reckon until the new stickers will be available?

If you want to take out the Moderfied class then you'll have to keep the water out of the mighty landy.

I solved that problem by selling mine and buying a Toyota.

Hi guys. I spoke with the organiser last night (Nev) and it is to be held at the same site as last year but the date on this thread is wrong. THE ACTUAL DATE IS SEPTEMBER 23RD Last year by the time the day arrived there were no gate entries left so it would pay to get in early. It would be nice to ...

Hell, I'll be there. . Last year was great fun. Does anyone know if its on the same piece of land?

I ran into a couple of ECAN fellas down at the Mac today and questioned them about what was planned. Apparently they are trying to develop the south side near Coutts Island for us guys and also an area on the North side down past Taylors road. This should mean designated areas for specific vehicle ...

It has been known for sometime and I have heard it discussed at the CLROC meetings in the past. They are limiting access to the north bank and south bank, I can understand why as the flood protection banks are getting too damaged by irresponsible drivers. They are setting up a dedicated 4wd ...

I went to Ludoplas in penrose and got 8 35mm high 60mm dia UHMWPE blocks cut. It cost me honestly $28. got all the bolts from blacks fasteners for $12 with 75% discount cos they thought i was important . The as cut blocks were within 1mm. I had to drill them though, and I havent got it certed yet ...

Im thinking of the following viechles : Isuzu MU Hilux Surf Nissan Terrano Nissan Safai Can anyone tell me what sort of pros and cons there are of each ive herd the safaris are awsome and the surfs heads are prown to damage terrano gearboxs etc a run down would be much appreciated. Looking 1990 to ...

I've always used the Nylon blocks and its never given me any trouble.

I guess if you were doing something like a Safri the weighs a tonne then the acetol blocks would be better. They have thaty as well though. Prob slightly more expensive.

I was in getting bolts at Blacks in Chch yesterday and was quoted $16.32 + GST for a 250mm length of Nylon rod to use for blocks. Cheap as I reckon. As long as you can split it yourself I doubt you will find cheaper.

Sorry guys, I was hoping to get out there for a great day but the new truck won't be ready till next week. Just bought my old Simexes back from MrOffroader and they are arriving after the weekend (Doh),. Would be far too embarrissing to turn up out there with no liftkit and 29inch road tyres. You ...

Cheers Turoa but I have arranged to grab the 50mm blocks from H2O down here. Makes more sense. Cheers anyway.

What did your coil lift cost?

50mm lift blocks what have ya got? I have a whole lot of surf lift blocks. They are 75mm but could be chopped down to 50mm Hi Mate. I could be keen on those 75mm blocks. How many have you got (I need 10) and what do you want for them? are the rumors true?? have you had three trucks in about as many ...

Hi Mate. I could be keen on those 75mm blocks. How many have you got (I need 10) and what do you want for them?

Cheers for your thought guys. I'm thinking that the budget isn't going to stretch to Simex. My next thought is maybe considering Maxxis Mudzillas but could prob only afford to got to a 33" @ $310each as the 35's are $380each. The benefit of the MTR is that the 35's are only $290 and I guess that the ...

I'm looking to buy some new tyres. Not sure whether to go with 33's or 35's. Seems the best value for $ is the MT/R's but haven't used them before. I only used Simex and thought I might put the feelers out there to see what you guys think. Any comments would be great either good or bad.

I'm just in the process of buying new tyres myself and I have been quoted $369 each for the 32's. Mudzillas aren't a bad buy either at $310 each for a 33x13.5x15. And Goodyear Wrangler MT/R's are only $280ea for a 33 & $290ea for a 35.

Food for thought aye.

Thanks to all who came along. It was much appreciated. Saw the day out with no damage to any trucks and all had a good time.

Hope you guys had a good run up to the gorge when had headed off.

Thanks again.

Matt

Bad luck Elmo. Thanks for the offer anyway. We will be meeting Al at the dairy in Amberley at about 9.45am and heading to Stringers bridge entry from there. Please remember that this IS NOT an ORE trip but just a trip to show a few inexperienced drivers some basics. I was just after a couple of ...

Thanks for all offers to help out with this. I will place a post here Friday night as to time/meeting place etc. Prob look at meeting up with you guys at the Dairy in Amberley about 9.30-10.00. but confirm Friday night.

Hi Guys The Waipara River is being damaged by uncaring users. Please refer to my thread under "Canterbury Water & River Issues" Basically this River System needs to be used with care & respect especially with trial bikes & quads. Basic commonsense approach is keep to the river bed keep of private ...

Tell me what time, I'm thinking that you would be out there between 0930 and 1000. We can easliy get out to the beach. Rik, you should come along, might pop out early and ...
