Re: 'The dome valley'
I went for a walk at the Matakana end of The Dome track today, looks like some good tracks up there but they haven't been used for what looks like at least a year. I might take my mountain bike up next time so I can cover more ground.

Re: Surf Build
Im wondering if someone who had done the falcon leaf conversion can tell me where the best place to mount the shocks is? I have seen people mount them on the cross-bar that goes from the left chassis rail to the right chassis rail but was wondering if mounting them just below where they are ...

There is a plate covering a hole under the rear seat which is just ...

Re: Surf Build

I dont think I will use a center console as I dont need one and I will be doing a disc rear conversion soon so will need to mount a new handbrake lever somewhere round there. Let ...

Re: Surf Build
The swap was very straight forward. Just had to grind off the second to last body mounts before you do the swap and weld them in the new position when the body is on. I had to do a 2 inch body lift as the front radiator support (bottom) was hitting on bumper mounts and since I left the original fuel ...

Re: Surf Build
The rear bar is just as impressive, it has supports going right back to the fuel tank and braces that go through the body to support the side bars so they dont get pushed inwards
