Hi Tim Videos worked fine for me off the posted links just now. Sweet thanks Steve! Mainland winch challenge is going back to 33's for clubman next year. Truck will sit more stable and your gearing will be better on 33 than 35. Right that's good to know although that's another spanner in the works!...

Crawlerer79

Do you mean the embedded video doesn't work and you had to use the link presume the 'embedded videos' are supposed to be in the blank space above the youtube links, if so then nothing there. link to youtube works. Thanks that's what I needed to know... I'll see if I can sort it. Thanks :D EDIT: Can...

Figured I might as well post my build thread's write up here too: Update #7 Figured its about time I do a write up on the Sheffield Mud Plug... It was an early start, not helped by the Daylight Savings switch over the night before and the lack of sleep due to nerves!!!! Made it up to Sheffield by 8:...

Certainly was!!!!

Do you mean the embedded video doesn't work and you had to use the link? Thanks

Crawlerer79

EDIT: Can someone please let me know whether the videos have embedded as they don't look to have worked from my computer... but then again nothing works on my computer so I'm really not sure!

Looks great! WOF guy let you have the number plate on the roof???? I know people do but I've often wondered whether its legal... must be!

Crawlerer79

I don't have any photos myself but I think my sister has one of the smoke... once school goes back I'll ask my mates. Think it might hav...

Hi there, can I ask where you got your tow hook plates from? I could do with one or two for mine I got them from Max at Canterbury Land Rover Spares. I think they were around the $30-$40 mark... then you just have to drill the plates for your hooks. I also have the holes in my dumb irons bored out ...

Crawlerer79

Hey guys,
Wondering if anyone has a guard roller lying about which I could borrow.
Needa roll my mates arches as his rally tyres rub.
In Christchurch.
Cheers guys!

Great day, Tim you looked like you enjoyed your day and drove on the trailer at the end of the day :D Certainly was! Good to meet you Warren, and good to see the Jeep left with some mud on it!!!! Was very pleased that it was still running at the end of the day... and even more pleased to get 8th in...

Crawlerer79

How did the day go ? Went really well thanks!!!! Still had a running truck at the end of the day which is a win! Has a slightly pushed in fuel tank, bent the number plate and lost a headlight cover... so all in all, basically came away with nothing! Will do a full write up when I have free time, bu...

Cool Rover project mate, looks great. Love the Rostyles, a nice tip of the hat to the earlier coil sprung Rovers. Yeah shame about the 2-door, a 2 door 200Tdi would be an awesome project to restore to factory condition, IMO. What type of rear locker arrangement do you have?? Keep it up! Thanks, yea...

Crawlerer79

and underneath the yellow it was originally white. And the 200tdi from it is sitting in my shed getting ready to be put in my defender , pretty sure the rest of it has been parted out as well . Funny how things spread around NZ ay... I bought everything bar engine, gearbox, transfer case and he hun...

Yep, that's right. Engine bay and any hard to reach places are still Sandglow paint... was obviously a very nice truck once upon a time. A shame to see how rough it's become

Crawlerer79

Disco is definitely looking the business by the way :D Thanks! Update #5 First thing first, I figured some 'beauty' shots of the truck on the new wheels were needed... the lighting was weird but this one came out alright... http://iforce.co.nz/i/e4uh4vq0.vy2.jpg Also threw some new fluids at it... ...

Share this around please

Wahoo!!!! Very stoked. Guess I better fit gearbox and t/case breaters then...

Crawlerer79

Woooooooo... looks like a beaut job! Very nice

Crawlerer79

Still all go for this weekend????

Having heaps of rain and supposedly 15mm more tomorrow up that way. Definitely won't be having to worry about it being dry...

If it's all going to plan, I guess the cage will have to wait! Gonna run out of time to fit that up

Crawlerer79

Update #4 Well I said that next job was throwing in the locked rear diff 'next week'... that was two weeks ago. While I did actually get it in I've been so flat out I've had no update time! However it wasn't simple. So much for back diffs being easier than the fronts. I guess it would have been if ...

Crawlerer79

2 Weeks to go!!!!!

Any other ORE members competing?

Crawlerer79

Bumper looks great!!!! Loving the whole build! Something different

Looks like Tyres2Go have a new design of a Simex/Silvey copy...

Interesting to see if they come out in any other sizes

Crawlerer79

Update #3 Hopefully next time Lando will be sitting on new beadlocked rubber :mrgreen: I lied... no beadlocks fitted yet but we got a front locker now :D Well today's been pretty full on. The job for today was putting a KAM 'Drop In' E-Locker that Dad bought for his Rangie and hasn't ended installi...

Crawlerer79

Looking good. What did it cost to get the rims done? Thanks, it was $150 a rim for beadlocking and $40 to move centres plus gst. Done a nice job too... just wish I'd noticed the welding splatter before I got them powdercoated :evil: collected them at night and dropped them off next morning so didn'...

Crawlerer79

Nice work! Good to see some solid tow hooks going on early in the build - hopefully you've got something similar out the back? Yep, back one's already a rated one Update #2 Well in the last update post I said Lando was going round to Canterbury Land Rover Spares to hopefully get the stalling issue ...

Crawlerer79

Truck's coming along nicely... the postponement certainly helped with the time factor! Seeing as it'll be my first drive of the truck with a locker and the huge offset beadlocks etc. (will wanna figure out tyre pressures and the like, plus get used to the extra width) I'm thinking of going for a tes...
