New from christchurch, looking to play

[Shortpaj]

Hi new to the 4x4 scene but absolutley loving what i have done so far.
The goal i am aiming for in setting up my swb pajero is a cabable mud hog, as well as a comfortable family wagon.
So here it is
1993 swb pajero, 3.5 v6 (boy it had some go before it had to push 33" muddzillas) lol
When i bought the paj it already had the safari snorkel, fully sealed engine diff breathers, 31" bfg's tow hooks fuel tank has been pretty well reinforced with steel plates same with factory bash plates etc

i have since added 50mm body lift, 50mm coil springs fliped ball joint cut bump stops wound the front torsion bars to level out rear coils, found some nice 33" Maxxis Mudzillas on TM still like new with minimal offroad use

would appreciate some feeback on Shock absorbers and uhf/cb radios and all other mods you can recomend etc

Also really keen to get out there and play/learn my truck so please if your out for a play let me know i would love to come along

Welcome, a good way of getting out there is to join a club, as most run 2-3 trips a month.

[ClassicCruiserSpares]

Welcome, theres alot of guys getting out and about all the time but your best bet is to join a club.
Any of the ChCh boys got a list of clubs and contact details for them?

[Shortpaj]

Thanks, i have found a list of chch clubs and in the process of figuring out which best suits me

[Shortpaj]

From what i understand they require you to have a wof and untill i finish my mods etc without a cert plate i cant get a wof i don't fancy re certing everyhing i change lol want to spend $ on the truck not certs haha

Apreciate the advice

Welcome.

I am running rancho rs9000xl's which have been awesome. they are about 250 each but are adjustable. They make a huge difference while towing. I tow a rowing boat trailer and not having that bouncing the car up and down is a plus as you can just wind them right up to 9 and they are super stiff.

I just installed a GME tx3100. They are about the size of a wallet, 40channel at 5w. They are a perfect little unit for club trips where you don't need all the added bs.

I have just finished doing my 2 trial runs with the Christchurch 4wd drive club. They are a great bunch of guys. They meet every second monday of each month at 7:30 at the cashmere club.

Hope this helps
Sam

Personally i think the North Canty 4wd Club is a great bunch of guys who do a wide range of trips both here in Canty & on the West Coast.

Both me and a mate are running the GME Tx3100 as well good little units that take up very little space and a nice clear sound
