Thanks Guys - I should know better than to listen to Goose I think it's beautiful here Shame I didn't get here in time for the Easter trip, was hoping to meet some of you then and catch up with a couple of the guys from CHC. I know Nuts is out at Sedonville, but where are you based Hillfilly ?

Er - am I missing something here ?

Hi ! Not new to the forum, but new to the West Coast. Have just shifted to Westport from Dunners. Had Zuks in the past, but now drive a Rugger - stock standard except has got 31"" tyres. Christened it on the "1K track" back of Fairdown Straight yesterday - short track but plenty of mud for a first ...

Wasn't that route from Karamea actually planned as a road originally but never got actioned ????

Hey Callum,
Where'd you get the new truck ? Is it the same one that was at the OR4WD Rescue helicopter fundraiser back in Nov last year ?

My '91 Daihatsu Rugger (2.8l diesel turbo intercooled) averages out at about 10kms per litre on road. Running on 31" tyres.

Is there anybody coming up from Otago way interested in a ride ?

Now I guess I've just got to find a suitable victim...................... Unlike some of the youngens on the board who may take ...

Hey Moriarty - you're fast becoming my mate. Absolutely nothing wrong with a Rugger Mine cost $3500 for a '91 intercooled turbo diesel 2.8. Only major thing I've had to do so far on it is replace the battery. No probs offroad so far and haven't done any mods to it yet ! Good power to weight ratio ...

Nope - it's about 50 mins out of Dunedin. Head north from Dunners on SH1 until you get to Palmerston. Turn left at Palmerston onto the old Pig Route (goes to Ranfurly/Alex) - it's about 20 mins along this road from Palmy (just before the turn off to Macraes).

Thanks Matt - was hoping you'd say that

Aha - so that'll be the horrible screeching on my Rugger too ? So next question is - anyone know where the power steering belt is on a Rugger ? Probably a dumb question, but I haven't had the luxury of power steering before Also, does the screeching mean it's doing damage (apart from to my ears) ?

Hmmmm - what if I haven't got a PTO lever ?

I think Alan Lowery's trip to the Serpentine was the Sunday just gone (8th Oct).

Where was the pic taken Matt ?

Still haven't cleaned the mud off yet I see Matt - or is that fresh stuff ??!!

What's the factory default for the tyres on a Rugger ? Mine's got 31" - would this be why the car runs faster than it should downhill in low ratio ?
I know tyre size affects the gearing but it always confuses the hell out of me.

I liked my 91/92 Samurai 413 - went well enough for me off road and that was completely unmodified. Managed to keep up with the big boys on several occasions. Have to admit they are not the best on tarmac for comfort or power but off road there ain't many places they can't go. Wouldn't want to take ...

P.S. The engine number on mine is DL-61 type Q-F71G-MST if that's any use to anyone

Have got a 91 Daihatsu Rugger, 2.8 turbo intercooled (unmodified as yet). Impressd with its power - definitely makes a difference having the turbo (test drove a non-turbo and it was like a tank in comparison). Manages steep loose scree/boulder strewn hills ok but haven't had a chance to try it in ...

Have just heard that a lady from CHC died on the Glenorchy trip at Easter weekend. You have now confirmed my fears that it was Linda. My condolences too - I'm sure 'The Handbag' will be greatly missed

Sorry - please ignore previous post. Just found the timezone setting under my profile - duh ! All fixed now thanks.
