18lbs of crack! Really?
Are you sure it wasnt arse crack?

You can use a gun rack if you are looking to do it cheaply. You can get them off trademe and/or Gun City (usually about $40-50 i think). The disadvantage is they only hold a few firearms. They are not as good as safes but are enough to get your firearms licence. Don't put it in a muppet place ...

Im keen for a trip, but my truck cant get out of the driveway!
Anybody got a spare seat?

Unfortunately im pretty much mechanically defficient .
This is what the mechanic has written

Removed clutch cable and lubed. Suspect faulty pressure plate.

I dunno do you guys think i should get a second opinion?

I reckognise where that hill is, its at the waipara half way between the pub and the beach, but whos the driver And that section is on private land, no wonder the locals are kicking up a stink about us off roaders. This does not help the cause at all. That whole "horse shoe" area is private land. I ...

Hi All, The clutch in my Jimny has been getting progressively stiffer and stiffer. It is now at the point where it is almost impossible to use. So i cant take it out at the mo . While it was having a service i got the mechanic to check it out and he said that it would need replacing. I asked if i ...

Sorry for dragging up a thread that is old but it is quite relevant to what i have been pondering for a while in regard to tyre size on Jimny's. I have an 04 Jimny and the stock size is 205/70R15. I am currently running 195/80R15 which are slightly larger. I would like to change to 215/75R15 as ...

Only in America!

I just noticed the earmuffs on the left hand side.

May have already been posted somewhere but found a V8 Lada for sale on Trademe :

Must have a pretty good power to weight ratio

That might suit. I will check with my wife and mate and let you know.

My wife was keen to do this track in a few weeks (the weekend after Easter weekend).
Might have another truck that maybe able to come as well.
Any ideas on when you were going to do it?

Yeah i've done that a few times. Good fun. We now go to a farm my mate has access to down there. Has pigs and goats as well plus we can stay for the whole weekend.
Cant go this year. So might as well go 4 wheeling instead.

Heres a photo of my Suzuki Jimny. It is standard but has larger AT's. I have a few mods planned but have to wait until I have the $$$. It no longer has the nudge bar on it as it was attacked by a mattress. This photo was taken after doing the Nevis Valley. http://farm6.static.flickr.com/5300 ...

I am looking for ideas and people to join up for a shiny trip in Canterbury over Easter weekend. Usually this weekend of the year is reserved for 4 days of rabbit shooting but because now we have a wee one (mainly because of the $$$) we cant go. I was thinking of doing a family friendly shiny trip ...
