done properly, drive in drive out with cert, easy double that, hell you could throw 20k at coilovers, bumpstops, bling arms....

around $1050-$1100 delivered to your door in nz, i looked into one a couple of months ago, was going to get one till a better option came along, all parts are made in china from the same factory that the warn winches are made then assembled in mexico, tigerz are assembled in china, have a great warr...

my thoughts were with the view that in 10 to 15 years land available now, may not be available then, even with the best intentions of the 4wding community, public land will most definitely be less accessible than it is now, and private land, or parks will be more of a necessity rather than a choice....

" I dont think real 4 wheelers would be interested because Reefton ,Lake daniells and Dregeville is only an hour away" . there is no certainty in life, how long before doc or whoever see fit to close these areas because every man and his dog are going into these areas every weekend and ham...

swampa

if it is for the sole purpose of 4 wheelin then i think it would be un economical, its a fair way from chch, and really, i dont think the south island has enough population base, if the property is used for somthing else and wouldnt be solely relying on 4wds for income, well, maybe. As stated alread...

swampa

i know at least half a dozen guys with internal beadlocks that have had them either spin off, (extreme hard abuse, not club truck trip sort of abuse)or go flat, external beadlocks all the way if budget allows, along with cert, my 2 cents worth, i dont know of anyone who has popped a tyre off with ex...

maybe this is a closer indication

swampa

so there is no intention with comps down the track with the rad in the rear then? unless the north island do outlaw class

forget warn hi mount, the latest and greatest from gigglepin, offering +40%gearing, forget hydraulic, this will cost the same as a sweet hydraulic setup though

i didnt say i dont like them as i do and have had a few sets, you cant beat them for the wank factor, but there are better cheaper tyres available, $600 plus for a swampa in 35's, there is better value out there, but it's your money, simex, maxxis, kuhmo...

swampa

pretty sure there is no proper distributor at the moment, but a few guys on this site can get them, wouldnt be my first choice of tyre

swampa

just going on what my cert guy told me. but if your information is better than mine its all good then

swampa

i asked my cert guy this 6 months ago, he said they need cert, if this is changed now, "sweet", makes 1 less thing to worry about

swampa

2nd hole in a rim needs a cert, you would get away with it for wof, but if you were in an accident it's an easy way out for insurance

swampa

my nephews took me out once to watch them race,"secret spot x" blew my mind the organisation, would have been a good 200 to 300 cars,highly illegal and crazy, watched sone guy get bowled by 2 cars racing, i think you might have been looking in the wrong spot tomo

swampa

if you get them from oz would they be covered by warranty??? better to get them from here through nz distributor and be safe, unless aussie will loook after you

swampa

dont need a cert for exo as long as nothing sticks out more than 100mm

swampa

closest thing you could do without a cert is a "cargo barrier" behind the rear seats

swampa

i was speaking to the guys that do tigerz11 winches in oz last week, they seem like a sweet deal, http://stores.ebay.com.au/Tigerz11-Winches-Accessories
$175 au to freight a winch to nz, dont try and get a bulk deal cause they are cheap already, their 12000lb is $799au and comes with synthetic rope

swampa

that bushranger had ummmmmm???? portals, there is probably half a dozen or so running them now over there, same with the hydraulic coilovers, 4 years ago there was 1, so all those guys who want to win now have to fork out an extra$$$$$$ for the latest and greatest
toys ahhhh.

swampa

if tuff truck started out as a budget thing here, within 5 years you would need serious coin to be at the top, just like trials, winch comps, offroad racing..., my example of a cruiser would be like driving a dinosaur in 5 year, still do the job, be heaps of fun but it wouldnt be competative.

swampa

lets use my cruiser as an example: to get a vehicle ready for a tuff truck comp: arb lockers inside 4.8's, $6000 42" iroks, 17x10 beadlock rims, $5000 to 6000 longfield cv's and axels, part time 4wd, $5000 25% reduction gears $2000 then there is the lift required, roll cage new and stronger adj...

swampa

will you still get the same amount of fluid in there or will the filler hole need to be moved higher?

swampa

minimum tyre size,37,s no different classes, eg: engine size, or tyre size

swampa

there wouldnt be a limit on tyres, but who in nz would have the running gear to rooster tail 44's with out blowing somthing, little old saf diffs or hilux with longs wont last 1 good flogging

swampa

to be honest i doubt whether outlaw class can be a success here, it has been tried without success, not enough population!!!, you may get half a dozen entries but is that enough, in oz how much is the population? how many enter tuff truck?? what happenes with rock rash should just evolve. here outla...

swampa

how deep are your pockets???? king of the hammer rigs run into the hundreds of thousands, Speed sections would require full on cages, or even anything that resembles these is $$$$ hilux,cruisers, safs... crawler gears, big tyres37's to 40's(to start off with) most rigs can squeeze these on, mud hole...

swampa

forget outlaw class winch comp then, tufftruck nz stylz 2010
