Hey all, We have a crew heading up to Woodhill this weekend for some fun . I'll be heading up early while the rest plan on making it around lunchtime(ish). Pete's got a new winch on his Patrol needs thorough testing , so he's bringing some first timers up ... Wondering if anyone wants to join me ...

Any tips where to get one of these bad boys from? Cost?

Nice. This looks very useful. It's a bit technical on first read, but I'm sure with slow and steady working I'll give this a go and report back any improvements.

Thanks for the post!

Hi all, I've been (finally) doing a little more work on the old girl to get her ready for a big return to the bush! Last weekend I had a tail-light problem and ended up replacing them. The bloke I bought them from suggested I try flushing the intercooler to get some minor power gains. She was also ...

er...for the new to New Zealand types...where is Rallywoods?

Yeah, thanks for the info. Is murawai just beach driving or are there some good tracks to enjoy? I like the look of Waiuku Forest. Is it possible just to drive out there and find some tracks or do you need to obtain clearance/keys/be on a club run?

Reckon I'll join a club also. Cheers.

Sorry if this is a topic that's done to death. I've had a good look through the forum for ideas of where to wheel around Auckland and haven't found much. I've just moved over from Aussie and not very familiar with where to go. I've done Woodhill Jeep Park a few times now and wondered if there was ...

Thanks guys. Been running her without the chop a couple weeks now and noticed a little bit of rubbing but not too much. Will attempt the cut this weekend and post some pics of it being done. Also need to adjust the lower steering arms as they rub on full lock. Haven't had the chance to get it orf ...

OK so went for a set of 235/85/16 nankang mud stars (couldn't resist $190 a tyre fitted and balanced)! Now about to attempt the camel cut to eliminate the rubbing. Do you have any pics of yours being done? Cheers.

Update: Bought some 235/85/16 Nankang Mudstars today from Church St Motor and Tyres for $190 a tyre fitted and balanced! Sweet. They rub a little and had to remove the lower plastic half of the front bumper. Will be getting the grinder out this weekend to make room for them. Happy to report very ...

Managed to find a set on trademe. Got Nankang Mudstars for $190 a tyre new (235/85/16 - roughly 32inch) fitted and balanced!

Got them from Church St Motor and Tyre in Church St Onehunga.

Bargain...

Well, I'm very happy to report I got the Nankang's for $190 a tyre (didn't want the rims)! Bargain. He says he would be able to get more in if others are interested. He also has a set of rims sitting there nice new white steelies and probably take $50-60 each for them. Good price, good service, bit ...

Great thread, thanks for the reply. I think they will suit my needs afterall and at $250 a tyre with wheels, I can't see me beating that price! Will head down today and grab em.

Thanks for the help guys...now, onto getting them to fit! Bring on the grinder haha....

Yeah, saw these but not sure about Nangkang? Has anyone had experience with them? I hear they are pretty much identical to buckshot mudder's and handle like crap on the road?

Hi guys, The tyres on the stock 96 disco are just about done so its time to start thinking about the build. I'm on a very tight budget too but should be able to do most of the work myself. Here's what I'm thinking: 1. tyres/suspension Upgrade to 235/85/16 with the factory rims. I need a tyre that is ...

Thanks Anti, how do you find the performance from the 300tdi pushing simex's? As I use her as my daily, I don't want to go too extreme, but enough to open a few eyes out on the tracks! and enough to get me 90% of places out there. I haven't encountered heaps of mud yet, mostly soft/wet sandy hills ...

Hi mate, I have a 1996 Disco (my first from a long line of 40 series cruisers) and am about to undertake a bit of a tyre upgrade. I have a couple questions for you. 1. 235/85/16 tyres fit ok without any lift? 2. was thinking 285/75/16 but figure I'd have to lift for these. Any advice around ...

Hi guys, I'm looking at buying this m I'm an Aussie wheeler just moved over and want to know what sort of headaches I'm in for. Nothing has been certed on this car but he has a fresh warrant - so I'm thinking he either has a dodgy warrant or this vehicle makes it under the laws? Also, any advice on ...
