Congrats Pete, sounds like a really nice beastie and will serve your 4wd'n/tow'n needs well.

Can anyone recommend a good auto-electrician in Christchurch for installation of a Tekonsha P3 Brake Controller (supplied) on an 80 series Cruiser?

Cheers.

Many thanks.

Any recommendations per best Electric Brake Controller for fitment on a 95 VX-LTD Landcruiser (1HD-FT, Auto).

Intended use is for matched towing of a large dual-axle Jayco, or such like, caravan.

Best price/place to purchase from?

Cheers.

95 VX LTD (1HD-FT), well maintained, Safari snorkel, Rage big-bore 3" from back of turbo, de-sludged, performance/pyro tuned, 33's: Figures exclusive of reserve capacity ... - Trip = 750km. - Commuting (20mins highway speed, 45mins crawling along on Chch roads, twice daily) = 715km. - Towing boat ...

I faced a similar conundrum to Pete last year and am gratified that after careful consideration I went with a 24v VX Landcruiser. There are some VERY good buys to be had if one does their homework and is patient and, after a few simple mods and tuning, the return on and offroad is remarkable. I have ...

Looks stunning; thanks for the footage. Did you have a fish in the lake?

Another vote for Ctek Bill - best out there in my personal opinion. Keeps the dual batteries (starting and deep cycle) in boat in peak condition when sitting over the colder months.

P.S. Price the Ctek chargers in the UK and then compare against NZ.

Impressive

Shop around however, as a customer of many years with KATS (Kaiapoi Alignment & Tyres, 82 Williams St, Kaiapoi 7630, 03-327 7789), I find their price and service is unmatched. Suggest you deal directly with Shane .

Spent a lot of time recently researching options before electing to shod my 80 with the Maxxis MT762 Bighorn, and am very pleased with the choice. Great road manners, modest noise level @ highways speeds, capable off-road and, based upon the personal experience of others, can look forward to good ...

Am North Canterbury based (back and forward to Chch daily) and am looking to purchase a 305/70/16, or near equivalent 285/75/16, for a spare. Must be 16" and have warrantable tread.

Would consider new tyre option if the price is right.

Cheers,
Leithfield.

Please see PM.

Price for starter motor if available please; cheers.

Need something for those family picnics down the Kowhai Tom ... a bigger rescue vehicle on standby!

PM sent.

Always an advantage if the beastie doesn't owe you anything ... however, the 100 Series looks both unique and bloody sexy

Have you seen this on TM - price a bit high but quality workmanship + triple diff-locks:

Had exactly the same problem with an 80series fifteen odd years back Bill, at that time Barry & Jeff of Clunie Automotive saw me right, and had some very good contacts for parts. May still be worth a try.

Awesome work Tom - great to see an Artist at his craft.

No, and support the NZFWDA position.

... Kev, what are you driving these days? ... Just two bog-standard Surfs these days Steve, though have served us well with many picnics up the Waipara. The later 3.4 V6, which I picked up for a song, was meant to be a project vehicle but was pressed into active service. Does the daily work run now ...

Which Kev, as I'm feeling bloody old too Definitley keen on an 'ORE Old Bastards Reunion'. The expression: "quiet drive up a scenic river" still reverberates! Significant debt of gratitude to Mike, Grunter, Steve, Nige, Gareth, Tom, Tim, Al, Kev, Pete, and all 'ORE Good Old Bastards" - those were ...

From my point of view: If we sue the club as Defendant on the court,(yes,coz club name on the contract) then the club will sue someone unless they don't care to be convicted. you dont "sue" the club, well not as such anyway. you inform the police if you havent already and the police decide whether ...
