Re: Sunday 12th, Shooting Near lake Lyndon
Yes it was a bloody big gun. The dude made it himself. Weight was about 26kg, something you wouldnt exactly take hunting. lol. Was doing 1.5 inch groups at 2000m. .416 I think was the cal.

Re: Sunday 12th, Shooting Near lake Lyndon
Yes exactly. I have met guys up at this range shooting over a 2000m distance, not something that can be done in town. Most people that go to this area are there for the range, or hunting, so know of the potential dangers in the area. The fireing zone is actually well above ground level, which helps ...

Sunday 12th, Shooting Near lake Lyndon
Some people have shown some interest in the 'unofficial' rifle range Near Lake Lyndon This trip will show people where it is, and how to access it. Suitable for long and short range rifles, and also for weapons of mass destruction :twisted: :twisted: A suitable 4x4 (basically as long as it IS a 4x4 ...

Re: Waimak + rifles
To get to the Lyndon range, head in past the lake. You'll get to a long flat the suddenly drops off to the right. As the road hooks back to the left there is a track (on the coleridge side of the stream). This leads you down into the 'river bed' of the valley. As you head up the valley there are som...

Thanks for that, yes we are planning to take 2 trucks. One of the guys going had some issues coming back from the growler a few weeks back, he was certainly wishing there were two trucks that trip.

So I bought me another set at $360 each a piece, fitted, balanced and on the vehicle. No special treatment, was a walk off the street price. Seems like everyone else must be making a killing on these as most places quoted me over 400 each. i got my 762 35's for 349 each Shit thats ok. I looked at 4...

Re: Cut Tyre
What does it matter if it leaves a horrid patch look on the outside of the tyre if its legal? Sure, might not look great (rotate tyre to the other side so its on the inside maybe) but atleast its cheaper than a new tyre, assuming it is infact legal, but if its not legal, a tyre place wont do it and ...

KZN130 Hilux hubs
A mate of mine has just bought a 94 surf. KZN 130. The front hubs are permanent hubs. Can these be changed to manual locking hubs? Is it as simple as pulling of the caps and fitting hubs? The reason we want to do this is to help prevent all that drag and extra wear through the front diff and transfe...

Re: Using a tube on a damaged tyre
The problem is if the patch rips off and exposes enough area for the tube to poke through. You say there is a patch on the inside as well, this should help prevent the tube being exposed, but I wouldnt like to count on it to be honest. Have you tried getting the tyre amalgamated? This I would trust ...

Ive got the same switch in My saf, but its on the R/h side of column. Mine was (still is) connected to a relay box tucked under the top side of the front panel behind the left hand headlamp. It was connected to spots that were once attached to my bumper, but werent there after compliance.
