I just need more torque and a lift, locker etc, I just get sick of it after a while, its too low, to slow, and I need something a bit bigger now too. Its still awesome and goes places you really wouldn't think it would, but its getting towards time to move on.

Started work on the engine swap. Ton of work... And I haven't even done the hard parts yet.

Still need to separate the exhaust, torque converter bolts, and bell-housing bolts...

I thought the same and bought a Chevy hilux. Biggest mistake I made (poor set up etc), cost me a packet of money and eventually I sold it in disgust. I wish I had kept my little zook (still looking for it down here - seen it once - to offer its current owner some cash to give it back to me).

[quote="sibainmud"]Good day at Pig Farm.
Half Norwest, half ORE run :mrgreen:

Blew reverse apart within the first hour, then walked and helped recover for the rest of the day.
Got some footage. Enjoy :mrgreen:

Starring, Lincoolin, SP450andLE, Del Fuego, Hiluxhunter.

I had an absolute ball... cleaning the truck however was less entertaining... needs another go I suspect :/ Looks/sounds like I may have broken exhaust too... oh well will crawl under it another day lol

I am unhappy to report that there is no footage from my camera of my treesmashing adventure... not sure why... probably because it was a $15 camera. Will put together the footage I do have and post it... hopefully this evening.

Yea it sounded like that from almost the very beginning of the day, thought you might have unbolted it or something. Least you had fun out there.

Moral of the story, don't use high range when stuck in a hole
At a cross roads with the Terrano.

Unlucky about the gearbox....

Dont sell it... Make it better :twisted:

What would you buy if you did get rid of it?

Del Fuego · Post by **Del Fuego** » Mon Jul 04, 2011 7:17 pm

Yeah, havn't had a good look but is probably a cracked weld somewhere... wasn't loose at the manifold as I suspected but will have a good look hopefully tomorrow...

Nice pics by the way, should have a video uploaded late this evening after work.

Should be a good litte club truck for me as the comp truck is not very practical as it only gets 23km to a tank.

That can be your daily to get to work, but you dont get enough seat time in the winch truck as it is without driving something different on club runs :lol:
