beter to meet at the Caltex bombay which is left at top of offramp which gets you straight back onto the onramp

[snork]

You got a weekend and week to get it sorted

Whats it need ?

[UBZ]

You got a weekend and week to get it sorted

Don't rub it in , my list seems to get longer every day. all those little things you keep putting off doing.

Radiator is fixed though that's the main thing.

Does anyone have a air compressor i would be able to use on the day? mine has burned out all the brushes and unsure if ill get replacements in time.

C.

[T-Boon]

yeah, i`ll have my little portable one with me. hasnt let me down so far

[4x4Matt]

Yeah I have an air compressor too. Got some Force tyre deflators too (Staun copies) which I'm keen to try out. I can get a whole bunch of sacks from work as the D shackles we import come in them

[Andrew1706]

yeah, i`ll have my little portable one with me. hasnt let me down so far

Wouldn't be a very good compressor if it did

My list involves: finishing dropboxes, finish headlight wiring, convert back to standard to get a WOF/do my suspension lift properly and get a cert then wof then reg then diesel milage

Sucks because I finally got my winch setup too and wanna try it out!

All in good time, much rather sit on it then drive it and get caught and fined

[T-Boon]

not worth paying $40 for a trailer for the day
Trailer to and from = problem solved

[snork]

[T-Boon]

Yep, i`m deff there, This sat, what time should we meet a the caltex ? Remember its a $10 donation at the gate so bring some cash.

[coxsy]

someone wrote 9,am

[UBZ]

yeah i thought it was 9am as well.

I wont be going any further than ABC rock / loop start
quote from another thread from the guys who were up there yesterday

On a serious note, the track is going to be in need of some maintenance by the end of the year, IT IS NOT A SHINY TRACK ANYMORE.

We had busted and bent bumpers and flares on all four corners on the SWB Prado and it needed towing 3 or four times on the main track, the SWB Safari with us lost all its flares, some minor panel damage to the front end and blew a tyre off the bead.

Most of the damage occurred on the stretch of track between where the gated loop track branches off and the Tram car at the Tairua river.

Make sure you guy's all donate ya 10 bucks, its gonna be needed to run the digger to patch the track up this year!!!!!!

[T-Boon]

9am it is, and yeah its deff not a shiny track, and i think we`ll go up to the loop and chill there for a bit, then back. bit of filling and maintenance on the way if anyone knows what there doing

The loop is deff pannel damage teritory.

[4x4Matt]

Unfortunately I'm going to have to pull out. The Hilux has hit a bit of a hurdle needing some structural rust work done for the WOF where the previous owner has bogged over. There goes more $$ just intime for Christmas

[J_Dub]

pencil me in.
9am at caltex
