new to it all

Post by you manus »

Evening all,
I recently purchased my 90' 2.8 surf and had my fisrt real 4x4 experience on the sunday just gone, me and a couple of mates went for a drive up Whangamomona road, reversed up over my exhaust (only bent it a tad so all good), got bogged down a couple of times and my mate popped his radiator, loved every moment of it :D , i would appreciate any help and input on easy mods to improve performance and what not.

nice to see your keen for this sport, but it can turn to custard quicker than you can blink , join a club get training and a gear list of what is required before you try offroad again

We had the essentials between the three of us, purse strings are a tad tight at the moment, but hopefully losen up soon
