Just another Aucklander... (central-ish)

Post by Shrapa »

Hi all, I've just picked up an HJ61 cruiser running 31" A/T's. Keen to get out and get her dirty (nothing hardcore thoe)

Got a few rust repairs to do on the old girl but the six cylinders + turbo make up for it :-)

Hey. Nice truck.
The clubs run plenty of "Shiney" trips so keep an eye out for them, some day trips some week long trips.
manukau4wd.org.nz is where im at, good bunch of guys and heaps of great trips. Get some pics up of the old girl and keep us posted on any mods you do. See you out there

Welcome! Pics?
Am joining manukau club myself shortly.
Woodhills always good to get your teeth cut on and to get used to your truck. Costs though.

Try and find a couple of other friendly trucks to ride with you, joining a clubs a good idea
