Cheers for the heads up, yeah my mate lived up in Keri Keri and said he did a few club runs etc.
As far as I can see, they appear to be strong but will take a pic when it's not dark for someone who isn't a noob to assess

Thanks for that Clive, very good read. Sorry should have been a bit less vague. This is not my daily, I have a work car which is awesome even though it is a boring pos. in saying that I do drive it when I want to feel a bit more masculin ( oxymoron in a daihstsu surely). I also use it to tow my race ...

Ahh I see. Thanks for that mate I really appreciate it. I have had 33's on it and they made the truck gutless as hell. So I guess the best thing to do is stay out of the deep ruts?

Ok, have a couple of questions regarding the rugger. 1.) What size is the spline on the steering column. ie, what kind of bosskit would fit one of these? Finding a rugger one seems to be quite hard. 2.)Would using a 50mm wheel spacer get in the way of the manual locking hubs in the front? Also, any ...

So on the weekend we took it into the bush at Woodhill to see what it could do. Was certainly much more capable than my hilux was, but I think there is definitly room for improvement. It definitly needs to be lifted a bit, as you can see in the pics, it liked to bottom out on even medium sized ruts ...

I will be picking up the rugger tonight, cant wait. Drive it back from the far north tommorow morning.

Will make a project thread with a shitload of questions once I have it.

Cheers fellas.

Short answer - no, not in any sort of club yet (BMWCC ) but will look into it. I have a list of things I want/need but have no idea what they are called so will start picking your brains when I get the car here.

Haha, done

Hi guys, Have been lurking around these forums for a while now and have finally decided to sign up and get a bit more into the offroading buzz. I have recently sold my hilux, which was bought off an old man who was the only owner since new! I bought it originally to pull my race car but after taking ...
