[2.8SURF]

Sounds like a plan, rather test my trucks current setup here in chch than find somthing wrong in reefton
Prefer saturday as work wont give me a chance to get out.
See how many others are keen

[onebadman]

[The WEHI]

how extremes the track sould a standard proceed on 31s get through??

going by the recent conditions id take a stab in the dark and say not this time of year

maybe mid to late summer after decent traffic may get up on 31's
probably be a wee struggle

[onebadman]

bugger haha

[passengerpete]

can do, sat sun mon tue wed. would be good to test winch out.

[SMOKEY]

Now Tim don't you go and rip up that track (too late it has been well dealt to many years ago ) go easy on the fences well at least keep away from where they used to be, if people remember we talked about working bee's to try and repair things years ago but to be honest the job was to big and expensive for voluntary work. , so go and give it your best shot, nature and some of the names that jumped on Flexy's thread have already done their best. Give me a time, I may just put the size 9 MEINDL'S on and see what damage I can do, those suckers don't know the meaning of ,

TREAD LIGHTLY,

FITZY.

Tell ya waht Fitzy, if Tim needs rescuing off Worsley's due to him being a muppet, I surely hope he would call Ash to rescue him, and I would hope Ash will call me so I can go and laugh. And I will gladly vid the whole thing as well.
Pretty sure that won't happen though

me too!

[rob-mu]

I think you will find Ash sold his beast !

[flexy]

Haha ooo pete set the challange and stand back ya rekon??? Haha me in tims trucks are fairly evenly matched judging by the wee play we had at our farm in cust a couple of months ago....no such thing as the perfect truck tho ae .....id be keen as for a play/rescue if need be but yes rob is right the wee zuke has been sold to another guy,its not the end tho as I will be getting back into my vitara project and finishing that off...slight change in direction for the project but should be looking fairly horney when its finished

[QUADRACER]

Tim, bring it to the winch event on Saturday, you can cruise around as a roaming marshal.
Then have a skid later

[hosehustler]

I'm thinking the 13th might be a bit close to leaving date to reefton on the 19th, I might try a mid week skid up a river somewhere next week for a shakedown instead

[2.8SURF]

im still keen for a saturday run if you are? little close to reefton I agree but take it easy and should be right. just be good to iron out any kinks before reefton

Directions........drive up worsleys rd, there's a gate...pretty simple.....from gateway on is 4x4.
If you state you're going or anyone else I will make the effort, no responses from this post on and I will not bother.

[2.8SURF]

yep im keen, will he there at 1 then, look for the grey surf. Radio will be set to channel 24 all day so just buzz me

[hosehustler]

see you at 1

[passengerpete]

truck sat in carpark but i went for a walk with a camera.

[hosehustler]

It was a good arvo and nice little shakedown skid for the coast. Was nice to meet a couple of good blokes and catch up with passengerpete again , keen as but the track was a bit chopped up and slippery for where their trucks are at, so didn't get all the way up ...i'm sure they'll be modding furiously over the next few weeks, a return trip will be the go
Was good fun up there and had a ball.
The truck is ready for Al's coast trip, ironed out a couple of kinks and need a new starter so worthwhile trip
As usual i'm the king of pics......one

[2.8SURF]

Was brilliant day, think my next build will have to be v8 as I cant get that glorious sound of your hilux echoing through the hill out of my head

Went well till I decided to be a twat right at the end and belly but it was good for a laugh

[petefj40]

Wondered how you guys got on. Good to see some reports back.
I bet it was slippery up there. Certainly looked it.

You can't beat the sound of Tim's truck. Sounds awesome.
