rocked up to rex's. Stared at the pieces of antiquated zukes laying about the property, tried to fit some 33's into the Commodore, generally took the piss, fed Dan up on chocolate, the wife spent some time playing with rexs ginger pussy, and came home via the Rangiriri hotel.

Popped a plate over the new tailpipe to hopefully give it some semblance of protection.
Took it for a blat out on the open road to see what difference there is now with a nice clean (about 2 years since i last cleaned it) filter and the exhaust. Theres definately some more pep there, but the noise will drive a man crazier than having to read Coxys posts and trying to understand them.

After finally getting my steering quickener fitted yesterday thought I should take it for a test drive.

Went across behind home and the farmer told me about a new track and swamp to play in 8)

turns out its a mix of bottomless and big holes in the firmer stuff (original old drain I think) End result a couple of up hill winches to get up then young fella goes we have to go back that way too, so 2 more winches downhillish and we were back on the track. Truck now covered in swamp mud. Bottoms clean though cause we had a play in the river on the way out. (All OK cause they have a digger in there dreging it)

Oh yeah quickener is mint bit heavier but 2 turns lock to lock v 4.
Toy - Zuk chassis tub, hilux 4.88 axles and transfer, Nissan CA18DE motor and auto trans, sc12 supercharger, 32 10'5 simex, twin motor 8274 custom freespool. Well the parts are all there in various corners of the shed

Only one other vehicle as below, a huge turn out, all sorts and ages and a beautiful day for it. Didn't take any others as there were just too many.

The Jeep was running a Ford V8, twin ARB lockers etc etc :mrgreen:
