Lots of work done on the course, awesome!
I pasted the hanmer turn off at around 4pm that day heading south home from Nelson. I was surprised that there wasn't more advertising on the road side for the event fellas!!
I'm sure you had enough to organize before the day. But more advertising of the event wouldn't have gone a miss Rick, Frank n Jase?? Man, it looked like an awesome day!! Feel like I really missed out.

[hiriklux]

Apolagies to all i offended stupidly thought this was an open forumn so i will start again

my name is rik and i recently moved( 7 years ago) to Aotearoa (thats what us hommies in the tuahiwi hood call it) and im new to 4 wheel driving (i believe the term is 4x4 ing when using text slang
as you gain status in the said "4x4 community"") and am eager to build a vehicle to go offroad in
looked at a land cruiser similar to this red one

but found they had a problem with burning oil so discarded that idea so looked at a surf like this one


which looked most impressive but had big big issues with the drivers side springs collapsing and i only saw it driven a couple of times so was worried about the reliability
eventually settled on a mighty hilux double cab ute
it had enough room to fit the family in for trips away (or lots of beer)
had a massive deck on back so it was practical for work or (tools to fix other broken trucks that might have sheered a bolt in the suspension for example)
so i set to work and put some slightly bigger tyres on and modified it a little here and there

then i bought some bigger tyres

and has been in modification mode ever since and one day the mighty hilux shall rise from the shed and be invincible once more
and as for the other comments "no brickys" sssssshhhhhh there might be to much work to do
"no bad language"f### me well you can f###### stick that up your f####### a### you f###### a### wipe of a d### brained c####
and whats this "rules " thing ??? i dont understand??
as for the pom thing i find it offensive as i live in the hood wit my bros and hoes so watch your back!!!!!!!!!

rik the pomiwi

[hosehustler]

Gold
don't know about that "invincible" bit tho Rik


I'll be in need a Bricky ar some stage too, i don't mind if they come from Tuahiwi
You owe ma a favor for the singing lesson I gave you

[rokhound]

Rock on you crazy barstard. I think you forgot the winch you added to help put the slightly bent airport fire service back up the right way

Tell me when your shit is ready and we'll go and break some stuff (just like the old days)

[red-devil]

i shoudnt hijack too, BUT

IT's sooooooo good to see some of you old boys back

Pommy Rik hows is the hulux.

it's time i started pick all your knowledge to gain a little morw out of the VX.

Well I think even Nibbys done his build quicker Your POS (when its not being towed behind a red Cruiser) will be lucky to see any 4x4ing this side of Christmas 2015. You can't even ride in a little buggy without hurting your poor wee shoulder At least those big tyres are lasting well. Had them on the truck almost 3 years and they're only quarter worn. I'm thinking you do more offroad in the JCB than you do in whats left of your Hilux

[hiriklux]

woooooooooooooooooo!!!!! rache must have given you your balls back!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

that old cruiser went the fastest its ever gone behind my prado on the way to pucker park (thank god for A frames aye)

[petefj40]

Good to see posts from pomi rik n tim.

So next question jase, rik n frank.

When is the next 4X4 event at your place???

Any plans ahead?
Sorry, I haven't been going to those club meetings so I'm out of the loop.

[basics]

had a massive deck on back so it was practical for work

HAHA ive never seen a hilux with even a large deck

[niblik]

Well I think even Nibbys done his build quicker

hey! i've built two..

i smell an old school trip brewin..

Good to see your Smutty mouth again, even with that perculiar twang. Plum in mouth? Doubtful ))

And as for Smokey!
Gold, Pure Gold
Keep up the pills and oil, preferably Castoral R.

[SMOKEY]

I remember the days when the MASSIVE DECK had room for the Chilly Bin, Picnic Hamper, Bags for change of clothes for the kids and room for the Dog . In those days the Hi Lux could do a hard day 4WDing ,drive under it's own power home , and be the Trade Vehicle the next day . Then the Pom started on the IMPROVMENTS , several motors latter, numerous suspension systems, all the spare drive shafts that Lineside had and a Deck that would barely fit the Radiator and Spare Wheel no room for the poor Dog and eat everyone else's lunches . Get It Going Again RICK,

IT'S BEEN A LONG TIME BETWEEN DRINKS,

FITZY.
