So is mine and the alternater(tis a toymotor after all ), plenty of people used to push starting my pos.toymotor will be on hand........
Failing that I have a spare seat.

[badnuz]

cheers for the offer of a push curly but the cruiser does weigh a lot lol! spare seat sounds good, but doubt if the missus and son would enjoy haning onto the roll cage at the back!!

Well you all wanted entertainment....

[skid]

Allrighty then.

I have finalised my plans, which entail me coming in the the mangatuks gate late on Saturday afternoon and cruising through to Green Hut, where ales will be consumed.

The next day, I will be going back out the same way after we finish playing in the Akas.

If anybody wants to join me in convoy then let me know what time you wish to leave on Sat arvo and we'll work it out from there.

Cheers

Jerry theres no need to worry about the shitter..... people have been managing with that crapper since the late 1890's without any problems...... the secret to it is to drop your trousers before you close the door

....... And there making plans to demolish and replace the existing porch and they have got a portacom lined up that they are going to install as an abolution block with a couple of toilets and a couple of showers running on a gas califont

just went replace front axle seal and was draining milky colored oil out when clunk clunk sound landed in the pan, pulled out bits of spider gears so my trucks screwed as well as turbo spewing oil out everywhere and bad unburnt diesel smoke out the exhaust so off to rallywoods i go if just to see how long it will last before something goes BANG .

I hope you can get here dude even if you use s/h starter while getting other rebuilt. or shove the screwed one in the hole and we will crash start ya as needed just make sure some one is in front of ya in case

[Jerry]

how well can you hold a handbag???????????????

[Sadam_Husain]

Yep I've spent 5 hours on the truck this afternoon pulling the radiator out and cleaning all the mud out and rebuilding all the broken Alternator mounts. Now when I shut the truck down and take the keys out the engine keeps running so I better have a quick look at that tomorrow or it'll cost me a fortune in fuel if I can turn it off

Still got the brakes and a punture to fix but thats a usual thing just before a trip

[Jerry]

So if I accidenly on purpose drop it in the mud and then blame you then will you get further beatings

Good old Land Rover eh. (Now I have probably jinxed it and it will break down on the weekend )
Haven't even washed it since the last time in there (1st working bee) so it will turn up still dirty. Maybe I should pop the bonnet tomorrow to check the oil. The only repair was glue together the broken indicator which I smashed on a tree root sticking out of the bank going down Wacko.
Have been busy making some mods though. Shaved that bloody great big rear diff to hopefully stop me getting hung up so quickly on high centre sections in the tracks. Gained a good 35mm of ground clearance over a stock Salisbury. Should make a big difference. Stuck some taller springs in the old girl too. Just need to see how that affects the articulation.
Should be a good weekend, looking forward to it.

[Cloggy_NZ]

If anyone who is turning up has a GPS unit, bring it along and do some tracklogs. Email those logs to me after the weekend and we'll make an attempt at properly mapping the place.

[IcedJohnno]

Mike & I are on our way!
YeeeHAAAAAAA I am looking forward to a good weekend
Even got the front towhooks finished Jerry!

[Jerry]

(which will be locked whilst we are in the Aka's for the day. We will be doing a quick vehicle check and collect $$$ and a quick safety briefing when we get into the Bulls Run Road gate which will be about 10ish . The Rallywoods overnighters need to head down to the Rallywoods gate by 9.30ish (You may get a few train horn reminders and I'll probaby bring it along as well )
