Few more piccys from the carnage weekend. Pretty happy to come out only with a missing driveshaft and busted steering box mount. http://www.4wd.net.nz/pics_2008/ryton0208/chop1.jpg http://www.4wd.net.nz/pics_2008/ryton0208/rok1.jpg http://www.4wd.net.nz/pics_2008/ryton0208/ss1.jpg http://www.4wd.net ...

Looks like a good "rocky" trip with some wicked scenery.
I'll be keen, just gotta get a roof over the wreck and prob hook the heater up for that time of year

Leithfield wrote:Am very keen ... depends on health though, and will make a call later today.

Health ?? hope nothing too serious Kev ??
Be good if you get a run up the Okuku, your toy is perfect for the terrain. Might inspire you to come out on one of our next trips !!

Bah just weld it up as is.. when it blows up they can actually hold together, just ends up holding about 30 litres more fuel than factory. You might have to jump on it a few times to get to fit back in tho No matter how ready you think you are, when it goes pop you'll shit yourself Do wot Rok and ...

Bit of vid from the Rock Rash.... all of my toy without me in it

Hi Jono

Mike

Nice to see you had an uneventful weekend as normal nuts Mine consisted of going for a skid today with some radical dudes locally, 3 seperate trucks on there sides , some more than once........ suprasurf = 4 x on his side winch got a work out righting vehicles onto all fours.. That would be this ...

Cheers Reece

Maybe you should drag it down here... I'm sure we can find you something to play in

Steve

I think the GQ and Terrano have the same bushes !
The Terrano bottom arms are real short but the bushes are good to go.
I got my arms for the old wreck for $10 a piece from Dave at Falsgrave, but I think he's been cleaned out now

PR You're an idiot

Once again the one eyed rubbish, providing further ammunition, within a public forum for all to see

I suggest you trust Leithfields observation and grow a brain.

All NZ gear driven transfer cases are 21 spline, all the chain driven cases are 23 spline. BUT in the US there was a variant of the R151 5 speed that had a 23 spline gear driven case fitted. If you're looking to go to a dual setup with std gears in both transfer cases then you'll want the 21 spline ...

Good stuff Matt

Maybe.. probably just destroy it, then turn it into a Formula Toyota

Looks awesome. So your running 42" TSL's not 37" MTRs???? How much were the longfields if you don't mind me asking??? Cheers Daniel Goin to run the 37 MTR's for the time being, want to get it all back together and continue playing. Hanging to try the crawler, maybe even this weekend all going well ...

Project SuperCrawl Here's the story.. Gonna take a Hilux Surf from a mild state of modification to a dedicated Rock Crawler. This is the clay to be moulded as purchased.... http://www.4wd.net.nz/pics_2007/conan0.JPG IFS conversion to solid axle, 5M-GE donk, rears up front, falcons in the back, rear ...

Don't confuse Tight with Technical.. the course was tight but designed I dare say to challenge all types of vehicles. The tight corners null the Big tyres an attempt to level the playing field. I would suggest technical means there are multiple lines for a single hazzard and selection plus placement ...

Must say those are very nice tyres you have there !
Wish I had some of those

I've got an R151 sitting here in the garage, yours for $250
PM me if your keen
Mike
