did a bit more work on my motor...

[rotordogg]

Put truck back together on saturday after changing CV during the week.

Helped out on the Ashhurst fundraiser run on sunday, all day up under the turbine's in the howling wind!
But well worth it to see kids (of all ages! ) faces lit up with smiles climbing out of trials trucks after a ride!!

Big thanks to the others who helped out during the day, and nice to meet a couple of people from ORE too!

lots of bits all through my motor so complete strip down and rebuild... nothing major

[mikee]

Was that caused by sitting on the rev limiter

Got the clutch fixed this week.
Just got to do the recovery points now, but at least its drivable!

sitting on the what??

only computerised shitters have those things.

and no, it lives life under 4k rpm where all the real power is.

Not too much to report, spent Sunday in the garage replacing the waterpump, flushing radiator etc. Great success, it no longer leaks which is nice, new gasket probably would have done the same job but at least I know it is all good now.

Also removed a few metric tons of clay left over from last weekend, wheels may turn freer now lol

spent from friday 'til today doing as little as possible out near riversdale.

[coxsy]

a nothing much weekend, have any L&P with ya

[Cameron]

no, sadly. I did however consume copious quantities of boysenberry cider and some really cheap 'port' a.k.a headache in a bottle.
brilliant

I am seriously considering bidding on another series landy to use as bush truck... am I losing my mind, are my memories purely romantic nostalgia? or are there truck loads of easy mods to make these more useful in the bush... it is quite cheap at the moment... not really the suzuki I was looking for though... gah.

^ nobody will thank you for not buying one.

this looks like the weak spots are ironed out?

apparently (form what i've read) the diffs are a weak point. landcruiser diffs = fixes that issue.

there was a td27 powered one on trademe the other day that I was absolutely pining for. Doesn't seem to be there now. I totally should've bought it but that would mean the selling of a couple of my sweet old cars that I never use

[coxsy]

cool looking rover

[Del Fuego]

It is... unfortunately the one I'm looking at is about 4grand cheaper and not surprisingly much less cool haha

[SP450andLE]

I saw that on TM the other day.
p.s. you are $20 down

[Del Fuego]

yeah, will wait and see what happens... if it goes for reasonable money it is probably not a bad truck... we shall see, I'm not desperate to own it but wouldn't mind another series... will have to hook up an A-Frame lol

[Del Fuego]

Oh, well... no new landy for me... too rich for my blood.

[SP450andLE]

Awww.... Maybe another time...
