You need a hand ben?!

[DieselBoy]

Spent the weekend under the truck replacing and checking stuff

Besides the rear diff head being full of broken bits of weld and loose spiders, dodgy looking wheel bearings, and two very worn suspension joints, I'm all good to go!!!!

I think i might head down there friday afterwork and camp at the Forestry HQ, then saturday go in as far as i can with the trailer and unload some where close to the base camp. Trying to conserve LPG, and its a long trek in from the HQ.

What are the rest of you guys planning to do??

If no one else is trailering their trucks down, i will just head straight in on Sat morning, as it will be a slow trip. Otherwise i will have a sleep in and wait for y'all

I'm busting to try some of the new tracks, and some of the others that were new last time i was down there!!!!

[Big-AL]

i will be trailering the zuk, and we were thinking about heading down friday as well.

[wopass]

wont be going

need to save money so i might just strip the 40 down and clean the chassis ready for some love...

[yorick]

I'm towing the Lada down with the G on Sat morning so will probably go straight there. Not sure what time yet. What time is everyone else planning on arriving?

[DieselBoy]

Well, if Al comes down friday, we'l probably just head in when we get up and sorted.

It'l be a slow trip for me with a big tandem trailer.

Just show up when you show up. Channel 10 on the PRS, Ngaroma is good like that, your never to far from access road, which makes it easy to pick what you want to do.

[Big-AL]

ill b with tim and his hilux, and maybe UBZ too in his hilux.

[nzhunter]

me and swamped looking at heading down on fri after work as well, cool if we tag along with u db?

dan

[DieselBoy]

Yeah man, prob going to go via Tokoroa and turn off there, that ways a bit easier with a trailer.

Wanna meet Cambridge BP ???

[nzhunter]

yep sounds good, what time? i finish work at 5 so after that would be mean. I'll give you a text. Cheers

[DieselBoy]

Yeah man, will be after work, will go home and load trailer and finish packing truck. Prob 6:30 or 7pm ish.

[gimmemud]

do they have toilets there?

[Madaz]

Might try to make it down on saturday morning , just for the day.
What time do you guys think you'll head out on you trip?

[mercutio]

i'm not quite sure what i am doing as the g still isn't going and i am thinking time would be better spent finishing that

[DieselBoy]

Get some quality time done on it, then roll out for BBQ later on when you've had enough wiring and spanner swinging, its just down the road from Yo's work shop isn't

I reckon we will probably kick things off at about 10am ish sat morning ???

Awesome, cheers for the heads up, i would have gone looking in the old camp place

How long since the grass seed was sown on the camping area?? Its been a month or so hasn't it, so with the weather, there is a possibility we might be able to use that. Really don't want to damage area before the grass gets a chance to take off!!!!

[DJ]

Hi all
although I cannt make it this weekend can you post a map(google?) or instructions to the play area for when I can make it over xmass
cheers

[Cruz]

just use it dont worry about the grass hope all have a good time if you are unsure of finding the camp site give me a ring and I'll try explain how to get there as I have not put the signs up yet Will be building the new toilets this Saturday if I finish them early enough might take them out Saturday afternoon MAYBE and thats a BIG maybe l8r Dennis
