Terranosaurus Obituary

[datsunsafari]

just buy a jeep easier

what! more like a safari

Jono, even if i weld the back doors, they still longer. 3 doors shorter chassis and body



Cheers,

Sorry not meaning to be a smart ass but they are the same length.
I have a 5 door and my old man has a 3 door and out curiosity and bordem i checked it out, they are the same give or take sum shiny bits

[sibainmud]

Don't ruin the fantasy for me
They are the same, but i like to think it is shorter. 3 doors are much prettier looking truck in my eyes.


Picked it up today. mint (for an old truck). WOF until Jan, brand new radiator and 14,200k's left in RUC
Drives nice with only a slight whine from the gearbox in 1st, 2nd, 3rd, and 5th. What a gutless wonder in standard tune.

T2 is still on the road and has stickers until Jan so i have a few tracks to do before then

Cheers,

Fair enough. Good looking wagon, look forward to seeing it with some mods and some mud

[madlux]

Nice of one Simon. Think a bit side protection should be on the to do list for T3. oh and sas...??

Are you putting your hand up, Ben? Lots of mods to be done. Bar work high up on the list

Hey Simon,

You kept this quite hahaha, had no idea that T2 was on it's last legs or should I say wheels

[sibainmud]

I see, T2's front end is not breaking away from the body and is not raisened enough like T1, now I know good to have a stockpile of parts

[sibainmud]

Update time.
Add to the list of broken bits;

Left outer cv, shattered manual hub locking ring.
Had spares for both so an easy fix


Coming home from a beach run on Saturday, the clutch shuddered and disappeared under my foot when turning into my driveway.....so perfect timing.....kind of

Glad I have got a body lift because there is just enough room to slide the gearbox back to gain access to the clutch release bearing.
This is what I found.




I think the rear main seal is a bit dodgy too


Spending a bit of time chasing components for T3

Cheers,

high flowing manifold. If you could get hold of a bd30 engine its a direct injection more boost it should go close to 350-400hp

Hey Simon, whats happening? Have you killed T2 yet?

[sibainmud]

Nup, been trying hard though
T3 still in planning process and acquiring parts
T2 is basically a trailer queen now
Not a straight panel in sight. I realized that apart from front diffs, i have done nothing to it......and i mean NOTHING! Not even oil changes since the preparations for the 24 hour enduro last Easter
Damage list lately,
Ripping trims off one by one on random trees, demolished the sills, and destroyed the door skin of the passengers door
T2 is now a guest at Possum Palace and now the clutch is a wee bit dodgy. Apparently power changing from 2nd to 3rd while stationary is that flash for for them
So here is some random pictures of the last few months;

Looks fine

[MNC]

Nice to see a truck getting regular use... wish I was doing the same!

[sibainmud]

Every two weeks on virgin tracks bashing them out.
Snapped winch rope, and pick up an average of 2 wrinkles per weekend. Love every second of it



Cheers,

[Filthy4x4]

Get rid of that door or get it dirty would ya, ive never seen something look so out of place

You forgot to add : Remodeled sill to suit old door...

[sibainmud]

Get rid of that door or get it dirty would ya, ive never seen something look so out of place

That was last night........and there was today

[Filthy4x4]

You went down the access track by "C" Pillar Killer and snagged that branch pokin' out just under your centre window didnt you? Andy almost did it...

[sibainmud]

Yeah, ha ha, walked past there today and swore next time I have a chain saw in hand that branch stump is history
More random pics;












Cheers,

, and destroyed the door skin of the passengers door

Ever heard the expression "that'l come out in the wash!"
Oh, look!, it did

[sibainmud]

Not much to report, T3, same status
With T2, I feel like going in circles
e.g,
Friday night arrive at Possum Palace to this,






Saturday morning,




Saturday arvo,



Sunday arvo,




Bashing out tracks every fortnight without the comforts of home are taking their toll.....slowly.
Just have to "bandaid" it up and keep on going

Cheers,

[wax]

Thats nuts. Im sure if they could talk the terranos would be telling every other one to void you. Talk about doing hard time

[lax2wlg]

Best action pic:


Ahh, it lives! Goes to show that brass bushing steering mod does the trick....

What I really want to see is a locked solid front axle and some 35-37s! Good stuff

[allmud]

hows the mighty terranosaurus going haven't been any up dates for a while ?

[zukmeista]

Last seen hiding in a shed at possum palace looking very used and abused
