If you paint it red and put a big spoiler on it, yes it will make it go faster.

changed the wiper blades on my safari. wasn't as challenging as its been made out to be :lol:

nothing else 4wding for me planned unfortunately.
have fun in the mud this weekend guys and make sure you've got your small tires on so as to preserve the tracks as much as possible.

Started up my Zook and smoke started coming out from under the dash :shock:

and there was that lovely smell of electrical wire burning

. Looks like I should have taken it to the auto sparky to put my new gauges in :lol:

oh well, will drop it off to him on monday to clean up my mess.

Well done on completeing your refurbishment. Reading posts on here about woodhill indicates that you should be rebuilding it again when you get home :lol:

Del Fuego · Post by **Del Fuego** » Sat Jul 28, 2012 5:58 pm

I want to go drive my Lada at woodhill... however as my weekend consisted of this:

it is unlikely to happen in the immediate future for fear of the fuxoring thing snapping in half :/

full story over in my build fred.

as you were.

Probably will be. I have a feeling the front diff won't last all that long. But I know where I can get a good cheap one so its no real biggy. This one casing wise is pretty screwed anyway

Took the battery out of my Bighorn so I can charge it, scared the hell out of the rat who had decided that behind the battery was a nice place to live :/

Took the Safari out this afternoon to get to know a little area near home, a bit of mud a bit of river bed and a bit of fun

sibainmud · Post by **sibainmud** » Sun Jul 29, 2012 7:17 pm

Woodhill today. Nice to go there and not be on patrol. Went with Lincooln, Datsunsafari and Yael. Had a good day. Found the limitations of the electric winch. Smashed both wing mirrors.
Here is the only footage from today. (Same as in my obituary)

Note the ruts from the 35+ inch tires :lol:

4 inchs of rain in 5 hours had nothing to do with it :roll:

Cheers,

Spent most of Saturday at work then came home and helped suzookyman and zookman with their drive shafts.
Spent all of today finishing off a Pajero I have been doing a motor transplant on.

Taking tomorrow off work and we are taking the winch truck down to Auckland to Torque Performance to run it up on the dyno

lincooln · Post by **lincooln** » Sun Jul 29, 2012 8:21 pm

Woodhill was awesome today. Didn't push too hard as I still haven't fitted my tow hooks yet. Didn't break anything and the electric fan worked absolutely mint as. No getting hot at all. Even with a few minutes of constant abuse on a hill. Couldn't be happier

Oh and just dented the right front guard narrowly missing the headlight. Bloody under-steer into a tree. Still that saved me from going over a steep bank.

micahb · Post by **micahb** » Sun Jul 29, 2012 8:33 pm

Went for a drive in my truck, but came home with a set of mint 35 bfg ats.

finally got me a set of road tyres!
I wasnt actually after 35's, was going for 33 roadies, but got them cheaper, so couldn't pass it up! will be sweet beach tyres too!
Oh and went by a mates farm on way home for a bit of fun, need to get me some lockers!! :roll:

(read as, slipped onto a tree, needed to walk/jog for 45min to got fetch the tractor to pull me off. So I guess a winch wouldnt go astray either? hahaha.) pity i just spent all my money.
At least the truck got dirty, as it wont be getting that way again for a while, baby numero dos is due any day now! (over due in fact).

Started cleaning up the shed. Removed all the stored s*it from the workshop part and started shifting the man cave into it so it can actually be used as a workshop, leaving the actual 'garage' part clear for drinking and kids roaming..and not getting sworn at by the wife when her feet find all my metal shavings and lost screws on the floor :lol:

non 4x4 but headed to turoa.
blue bird

.
heaps of ice

.
the crew up there have done a gr8 job considering they haven't had much of the white stuff to work with most lifts open some really good runs out west. good part about not being much snow is not many ppl either so no lines for lifts.
nothing broken legs are killing me. I need to do more excercise :lol:

And as a comparison here is the same hill with my grossly over powered over tyred infused with the blood of satan truck on the same hill, you will note the extreme amount of track destruction caused by this type of vehicle :twisted:

Sorry Simon, I couldn't resist :lol:
