what have you got/done on the Terrano? Mine just had a suspension lift when I first went to the coast on a club trip and surprised most of the members at how far it went, esp with a novice behind the wheel. I am looking at 33 or32's at some stage, but have done a body lift all the same now.
More or less stock standard. Run 30 allterrains and have a 1 inch block in the springs , learner ( 4wd )driver, excellent tutor though thanks nuts
May need to ask your advice big time though ..... when I get the chance to do a lift
Sposed to come out with 31's as stock, that was the case of mine cos 31's made the speedo read true Nuts is a good kiwi bloke, take all the advise you can get there. No worries getting info from this end either.
Ok people, move along. Nothing to see here. Thank you, move along. Ph 0212078472
Went and hit up beaurepaires tis arvo, Didnt really have to much luck, I tried speaking to the manager he didnt care and got the guy who fitted the tubes. He recon they not 2nd hand tubes they were brand new and they are the only tubes you can get, so therefore he recons the guy in westport must have bin smoking saying they were 2nd hand.
He couldnt explain why I got to flatties within a km of each other thou, and offered me the free life time puncher repairs which i kindly declined.
He reconed there was no way i could get a refund as I asked for tubes, he fitted tubes, I got puncher - he'll repair the puncher.....
He did offer a free wheel alignment for my hassels which I managed to convice him 2 give me two one for the terrano and one for the subaru, thou Im not sure I want him touchin my tires again, and he also offered to do my next set off wheels for either vechicle at cost and free fitting and balancing.
So I guess it will have to be a $200 leason bot tubes not sure what I learnt thou, As with the Suzuki I was always popping the tyres of the beads so i fitted tubes and I never had a problem since with the suzuki so thats why I thought I was doing the right thing with tubes in terrano wheels.
Bugga
Anyway, its happened now,
Cheers every1 for an alsum weekend especially Nuts, Bob and PR for orginising it all I had a good time
Find a good small owner/operator tyre business and stick with them. You will get better service and quality in the lonfg run as you build a relationship with them. As for the offer of free fitting and ballancing, that's standard. When you go back for your freebies, stand oveer them and watch them. If they tell you to get out, leave and slander their arse off. I find this works really well. Al
You guys were real lucky to go to the deliverance ranch. Was boonie on the veranda with his banjo?.Will give nuts a hand to sort out a couple of new tracks there for next time.

did you tell them you belong to the largest 4x4 organisation in nz ? then tell them they are full of shit and will be black listed if they dont sort it fast i hate places that dont back up there shonky jobs
people think i have a problem with insanity .... i dont i enjoy every minute ..... 0278900597
The guy who did the tubes nor the manager didnt give a shit bot anything, The fact I had 2 leave my truck in the bush and that the tubes lasted less than 24hrs had nothing 2 do with him as far as he cared

Not cool Coxsy, who's going to mind my back Anne you could always disassemble the calendar and bolt it back together in a better order Still to do your disc but it's coming.
Just a bit of food for thought, next year is War Birds over Wanaka. Years ago we used to run a central otago trip doing three days of fourwheeling and spend the sunday at warbirds. If you have never been it is awesome. Been waiting for my boys to get a little older to take them and next year is the year. I'm going to organise a trip in central around going to wardbirds. Keep an eye out for thread early next year. With any luck and easter at the end of the month, there will be snow around the old man range to play in. Al
