As far as im aware you dont have to carry a spear wheel in a comp any more.
Therefore heaps of room

Hey Ben, almost like your truck...

After 5 years of compatition your average winch truck has been fully rebuit. If you stuff the chassis you normaly start from scratch put all the bits that arnt broken back on and remodify 90% of it to be more compatable As for price of you average winch truck (please be seated for this one) thay ...

There are a lot of good idears and suport for somthing different BUT the reason behind most of the rules and bits and peices is to make insurance componies and osh happy. If there not happy who ever organises the comp is in deep doodoo if anything goes bad So I think if you base rules and regs from ...

A short corse comp like trials but with a winch, run on time and penalized if you use the winch (like some of the Aussie comps). Low speed witch gets rid of a few safty factors (doors, windscreens etc), and you can compete in what ever (winch truck, trials truck, jafa's truck or mum's prado). All on ...

Tim shows off his use by date! http://i561.photobucket.com/albums/ss56/mudhaw/Whangarei_09/Usebydate.jpg Steve has time to think... Hmmm, did I put the cat out yesterday? http://i561.photobucket.com/albums/ss56/mudhaw/Whangarei_09/DidIputthecatout.jpg If Justin asks for a test drive... Just say NO ...

Good weekend
Steve should have all me video footage tomorrow. Hopefully he can post some of it, if not were in for a few postage stamps.
Hopfuly not too many expensive repeairs and hope to see you all at another run soon


Dion

PS. Nice mo, Ben!!!

No offence to anyone but "WOFs" for many of the comps past and present are a (bleep) joke. As i have a current WOF licence, I can tell you that even without doing a complete check on most of the vehicals that enter, they are not up to standard for road use. As for scrutineering, they should only ...

Regarding 4WD tv footage, Simon normaly sends a hole pile off disks to Tracy (from norwest club) to sell ($15 normaly). But I dont think she cant sell them till after it plays on tv in NZ. could be three to six months. Send him an email and he may put sum raw footage at the end like he did for last ...

There is a 3 or 4 page write up on the comp in this months action 4x4 mag.
these are the photos me mrs took and the words are by monstr
Will let you fallas know if it makes the NZ 4x4 mag

One big thing to remember is that some low mount winches have the breake inside the drum.
Not a problem if you free spool out or power out short distances, but long distances the drum gets hot enough to melt your rope
Not a good thing at the price, can be an expencive learning curve.

Cheers guys, the only photo Ive got is of the bull bars with dead goats hanging off it, and if I had a photo I wouldnt know how to post it

No insurance, when you have as many wagons as i do you only insure the ones that you drive all the time and are worth something. It was all up to date with wof and rego though, sposed to be going on a run tonight in it!
Aprox value is about $1500 to $2000 and me suzi wont quite tow the boat

Some nice person stole me wagon in the wee hours of this morning in west Auckland It an 1987 long wheel base MQ nissan safari (high roof) white with 2 inch body lift, with half worn TSL swampers 9.5 wide on white spoke steel rims, extented front shackles and a big arse bull bar on the front that ...

Thats good news
EGR systems on deisles seem to cause more harm than good

A few of you guys said on the day youd love to see the full on winch trucks have a go. Unfortunately we ran out of time, because it aint hard to talk Steve and Justin into get their trucks dirty. As you can tell by how far apart the stages where it hard for spectators, and hard to keep track of them ...

We both had a ball and are looking at making the chains a permanate addition to the back of the cruza.

Cheers

You don't think the chain will add to much weight, mind you it might help keep the back wheels on the ground

Yeah right

Dion

[forsweeeet !, will bring some snags and snakes will probably be there about 6pmish at a guess, maybe earlier or later....[/quote]



Dont forget the beer and the water wings

You will have to sort that out with Steve (monstr) Try send him a pm
