Selling off our Marvie, as we`re in Oz for the foreseeable future. It`s a 1995 model, grey (jap-import metallic I like to call it), with all the bits and pieces (electric windows, sunroof, AC etc). Has a professionaly installed Runva 8500lb winch with bigger battery, safari snorkel, uniden radio and ...

I`ve recently brought a Proceed Marvie (stop laughing) for camping type 4wd trips and to tow trailers/collect firewood etc. It`s never going to have any more than <say> 31"s on it, but it does have a safari snorkel, Runva 8k winch and is generally a handy thing. Only problem with it is the pathetic ...

Hi all - I`m in a quandry and need some advice... I`m after a cheap <$4kish vehicle to be an occasional daily driver (say 6,000kms p.a.), haul kids + bikes + associated bits and pieces around on occasion, with the ability to tow v.heavy trailers out of muddy paddocks and forests. Hence I need a 4wd ...

Selling the wee truck, as I`ve got a company car with my new job - shes surplus to requirements... Had full service at 200k - plugs, all filters (fuel, air, oil), new TRW pads all round. New front shockies fitted for WOF - Nitro RAW off-road. Recently fitted (<1500kms) set of 235/85R16 Bridgestone ...

265's will fit a second gen bighorn without any mods - i had 265/75r16 bfg mts on my last one, with stock suspension. i have a set of 2" springs and uprated torsion bars to fit up though , just need to decide what shockies to run (a
nd pick a set of tyres obviously)

Looking for some advice on tyres. I’m after a set of 265/75R16 mud terrains for my Isuzu (Bighorn). I know they’ll fit fine as I’ve had the same size in a BFG MT on a previous Isuzu. Trying to decide between GT Adventuros at $290 a corner, Kumho KL71s at $325 a corner or Bridgestone Dueler D673 MT`s ...

Quick question for all the Cruiser experts on here. My landy has a B Diesel in it, with a 5-speed box behind it. The box has the vacuum actuated transfer case. Anyone know a) what model cruiser this came out of, and b) if a 3B will bolt up to it? The old lump is a bit tired, and more power is always ...

Bit less than $3.5k, good truck - very road legal (and will be for a while to come). Not on trademe yet - and not keen on success fees so keen to sell on here.

Will be posting pics this arvo. PM me if interested - I`be be happy to meet half way if that helps (i.e Chch).

Selling the old girl, as I need a seven seater for family reasons (or at least something with a bigger boot). Its a 1992 Terranno (metallic maroon / burgandy whatever) with 302k on the clock - been in the country since 1994 and owned by a good friend of mine the whole time. Its been garage serviced ...

Does anyone know what the status is off the Foresty block just north off Evansdale I think the settlements called - just north Waitati is? Ive been told its Transit owned, and 4x4s a definitely playing in there, there are no gates or signs or anything, We went to go for a quick explore to see if it ...

I`ve got these on trademe, but would be happy to sell on here and avoid the rip-off success fees. Brought three years ago, and only used a few times on skifield access roads (in some decent blizzards though) - give great traction and fit up in a minute or so. The links are 4.5mm by my callipers, and ...

Hi there, I~ve just brought a 1992 Terrano with the TD27T motor and the 5-speed, for an awesome price ($450 and WOF, REGO and RUC) knowing full well that the clutch needs doing. I`ve got a few questions for some of the more mechanically minded people on here: 1. Is pulling the motor is the easiest ...

Sorry I have to say I don`t see what people are whining about... If you're complaining that they`re too high, yet your mates rip the system off (meaning we all pay more) who`s fault is that? It`s also irrelevant how RUC relates to fuel consumption - it`s calculated on a pavement wear factor ...

Shh... don`t say that too loud or we`ll get clobbered by the Nissan / Toyota crowd

Thanks for the advice, Mike, I`ve already independantly came to the same conclusion. I took the terrano out for a bit of a run today - comparing stock with stock the landy thrashes it offroad, so I might just put some all terrains on the terrano, as I don`t see the point in spending big dollars to ...

Hi people - I`ve just a brought a 1992 Terrano as a cheap hack to run into the ground while I tidy my old Landy up - its not a bad truck, just a bit low, long and bouncy for my liking... like a car after the landy though. It has a set of okay 30x9.5 15 RMT`s on it, but i`d like to run the 7.50x16 ...

If we made trucking pay the full costs involved in their use of the road / state highway network I can tell you that the difference in cost would be negligible, and likely in favour of rail. Given the ability to electrify the main trunk, and likely future increases in fossil fuel costs and supply ...

Heres some facts for you. We don't actually collect enough revenue from roading to maintain our current rate of spend on our asset. Trucks are not currently charged for the actual degradation they cause our highways / roads and are in fact subsidised by other road users. Trucking in this country is ...
