Nice looking truck there. Don't see too many Terrano's with a solid front axle

Mike

Haven't been on the site for some time and I have noticed a huge change in the amount of crap posted. I say keep the site, the historical archives are way too valuable to be lost forever. Would be happy to help moderate if required. Have a bit if experience in this area on a big international ...

Hi guys,

Am looking at one of these, and just wondering peoples thoughts in general, along with any knowledge of fuel economy, known issues etc? Are they on a par with the 3.0 diesel?

Cheers

Hey thanks for all the advice guys! Had a look at Jafa's build and im liking the sound of a 7mge. Think its going to suit my needs and my budget at this stage. Found this on trademe too bad its on the wrong island! m Can any one suggest a good workshop in the South Island to do such a conversion ...

Pencil me in as well

Hey Nick,

It's nice hearing about your truck, but could you take a little more time to spell check your posts? The last 2 or 3 were shocking.

Cheers

Was a great day. Pete, your 40 sounds awesome, even the young fella commented that it sounded like a drag car!!! Saw hulux-happy, Mike, Al, and Smokey in action, and doing pretty well also. Definitely a lot better than last year - mainly due to the weather. Bring on 2009.

$5 is pretty good. I'd be happy to pay $10 or more - it's a great days entertainment, and the kids love it. See you guys out there on Sunday, as a spectatator. I'll try and get some good video also.

sorry i dont understand?

Was meant to say, " See how I go, might also join you Comilux". Typo sorry.

See how I go, might also in you Comilux.

A group of people I work with went up there last weekend also. No problems either. I was a little jealous. Maybe we should organise an ORE picnic up there while the weather is still good.

Anyone heading out/keen for a play tomorrow?

4WD Upgrades in CHC sell the upgrade kits made by MArk's 4WD Adapters. Have one in my Hilux, goes bloody ace.

Hi Comilux/Elmo,

I could be keen for this as well. Just got to confirm with the handbrake if we have to visit her grandmother first.

Would be a great evening to go for a bunny shoot around waipara somewhere, bet there are rabbits everywhere.

Great post Steve. I would hate to see ORE go down the toilet, after all the hard work thats been put into it. We all have a responsibility to keep this site free of the crap which has been gathering for a while now.

House renovations force this reluctant sale of "The Lemon". Don't get sucked into the lemon part, it actually goes bloody well. Mods include: * 3.8 V6 Holden Conversion * 33" Maxxis Buckshot Tyres * 15" White Spokes * 2" EFS Suspension & Spring Lift * Free Flow Exhaust * Snorkel * Fully Certified ...

I can't see why we can't still go to the Waipara. We are not doing anything wrong by sticking to the riverbed, however I am happy to go to the Ashley if that's the final decision.

As Philux said, I got mine done at 4WD Upgrades. They did a pretty good job, and it drives REALLY well. I have the Marks's kit inmine, with the original manual 5 speed box. I didn't get anything done to the gearbox though, and it has had a good workout with no problems so far. Just have to watch ...

Go the commy V6. I am very happy with mine. Plenty of torque. Goes like a charm.

Will be there also.

Yes I guess it would, but hopefully it hasn't scarred you too much.

I am a maybe at this stage PR. My rear end has been running like a garden hose for the past 3 days, so I haven't ventured far from the dunny. Though its a lot better today, and should be right for tomorrow. Sorry if thats too much information
