If you decide not to drive and you want a seat let me know... I'll be going as long as we don't have new nightmare neighbours once these move out.

I think your clearance on 31's will be the same if not more then my safari on 33's. I will talk with Tim about this tonite, but I am sure it will not be a problem for you.

I may be keen as well but may well need to get a few more goodies for my truck.

Why truck mounted PRS units if we are travelling in convoy?

Zuks usually have the clearance of 33's on 31's or 30's dont they cause of their smaller diffs :wink:

You maybe fine. If a zuk owner could clarify this that would be wicked.

A zook on 31's has the nearly the same diff clearence as a Hilux on 35's. The narrower wheel track means it will run rings round the bigger trucks in the ruts :twisted:

Go show em how its done Quadracer :D

Still happening, staying at the Westport holiday park easter thurs-Tues, turn up for any or all of the days (wheelin fri-mon).
Westport holiday park have cabins, tent and caravan sites, I'll be taking a poptop and a sense of adventure.
Currently doing some further mods to the truck, rebuilding and strengthening/gussetting a spare front axle complete with longfields (finally :roll: ) which i'll fit to the truck completed, new TG dual case crossmember, front u-bolt flip, new TG r&p's, and hopefully a set of larger new "tahs" :mrgreen:
Should be a good weekend :D

P.S NOT selling the truck :mrgreen:

Hey, I'm almost 10% down on tyre-size (31's) but 20% up on sense of humour. Does that balance out?
