Cheers guys, Yeap Skid half the reason i brought it was cause of the wierdness to it :lol: ,Def gonna look into a 2nd 4x4, tho thats after i keep spending money on the zuzu , speaking of it a new exhaust next week lol. Plus for what ever i buy can bet ill be modding it just cant help it :D

Yea im glad i did give it a go as you say Pete as now i know alot more of whats involved etc!.

I must admit the other thing i did worry about with taking it offroad was breaking the plastic panels since there all insurance claims, Dam Isuzu building a 4x4 that i cant take offroad without easy replacements oh well thats life.

Time for Trademe to see what i can find :D

Still keen for the coastal trips and a bit of playing.

With the trolley thing in the supermarket so guys are soo bang on, was in new world in the hutt onetime in a friends car waiting for them next minute i see a trolly heading towards his car, with the lady looking at it and not even chasing it. it missed his car and hit 1 of the trolly racks luckily.

hi guys just read all about the trip and the few problems with scratches. i have a shiney (well not now) nissan terrano and swore not to use it on too many offroading trips as i have a zuke for that stuff. but i organised a club trip in a forest and we went up there for a wrecky to go explore the tracks that were seriously overgrown. i just wanted to explore the place but when i took a look at the side of my truck i really regreted it due to the bad scratches(some down to the pimer coat) gave it a good cut n pollish and now looks great still a few scratches here and there but i can live with it. so as a run leader they should state weather there is bush marks possible on the track and if they are not sure just say there will be scratches then its totally up to the driver to say weather he minds a few scratches. as for cutting and pollishing your truck sprey its not a hard job to do it just takes time its very hard to do it wrong unless you use a big arse sander to pollish it. :lol:
