Pretty much all the fabrication done by Canterbury Windscreens (Off road division.... H2OLOVA....) and his cronies.... you all know who you are :wink: I thought I made that quite clear. Try reading next time. And I was up north for 2 weeks, at my brothers funeral, boy, what a real laugh!! ha ha ha!...

since you are so interested in this thread for some unknown reason, jafa, why dont you give everybody here a quote to build it? As in, buy a standard truck, buy and fit all the stuff, you are the expert, after all.....

One thing to look out for is airlocks. Where is the pressure cap? If the height of the cap is below the top of the radiator, you can get an air lock. It wont use a drop of water, but does mean you dont get effective cooling over the whole radiator. This is a common problem when a bodylift/engine swa...

So I'm assuming that the truck ownership also matches the order of names?

On yer luv!!

hehe, oh, and Hi and welcome!!

Goose

Ummm, nah, that's not really all that good for your clutch fluid to look like that....

Yup, I'd replace it

At a guess, it's either dirty, or corrosion..... either way, not good

Great shots Trucky!!, Good to meet you and the lovely Lil Miss Zuki :) Great day, my superior co-driving skills (read: ballast....) saw us do well on the day... :lol: When's the next one....... :shock: Need a co-driver, Mike? :D Oh, and guess what I got today.......... http://www.offroadexpress.co.n...

I think the last time I did it, it was just over 5L!!! (Of course, oil usually comes in 4 or 5L......bastards!

) The woman's 2.5TD mitsi was about 5.5L...... From low to full shouldn't be more than a litre.

Just dug up the e-mail I got sent....... Hello Bruce, Thank you for your enquiry in regard to towing your recreational vehicle with an A-frame. I advise as follows :- Land Transport New Zealand has researched this matter with NZ Police recently in response to concerns expressed by members of the pub...

Goose

The official reply I got from the LTSA was; "The vehicle being towed must be in a fit state to be towed." "The towing connection must be secure." So, make sure no crap is falling off the thing, and make a strong A-frame :wink: You don't even have to have lights! But I do, and would if I were you, sa...

Probably get shot to bits for this, but my wee piece.............. I wasn't there and don't presume to know what went on or why, and as such do not condemn anyone. People act differently when faced with an emergency....... We are only getting part of the story and that part is being reported by the...

Just thought I'd put a post up about Trev's 50. 8) Trevor has been working with Niblik and I as a temp, and naturally, talk turns to 4wd's :lol: Trevor brought in an album of pictures of his little 50, which I've scanned and uploaded here: http://www.offroadexpress.co.nz/modules.php?set_albumName=al...

In christchurch, ring "One Stop Turbo Shop", he's the cheapest around, works from home, really good guy. You take him the turbo though, he doesn't remove/refit. But a third the price quoted at a "professional" turbo outfit :shock: He laughed when I told him, then asked me "Who do you think they brin...

Petrol V6 or diesel? A contractor at work has a 4.0 V6 courier on LPG, tows his big-ass boat with no problems. He did drive a diesel one before he bought the petrol, but was so impressed by the petrol one that he bought it

Ahh Bob, I only meant it as a reference for "quick acceptance" when Pete gets here, so as he doesn't feel lonely

Myself, I prefer Heineken...

Hi Pete, you'll have fun in a 4wd down Otago way, just one point, get a taste for Speights (the local beer in Otago), admit it's the best beer in the world (which it is, really!) and the locals will accept you quick smart! 8) And as for a truck, if you're looking at spending 15K.... this thing is a ...

You can use the springs from XA-XD, ute/wagon/panelvan. Mine are XC ute, and they flex goooooooood 8) I paid $20, so shop around, they're worth feck-all! I got a 7 leaf pack, but all we used were the top 4, and the 7th, (so for a 6 pack, top 4 and the 6th), more than that makes it a bit stiff. :wink...

Put it on your rear towhook at the end of a trip, drive through the river "X" number of times.... (X= the number of times it takes to get it clean

Another patented H2OLOVA method.....
