Made up some gallows to lift off the body from the chassis. And then set about cutting up old chassis.

after alot of bashing and a broken ball joint splitter, the Navara 2wd steering is finally in the mistral, scored some more rims -22 off set off a wrecked safari. sorted and organised me' pile of scrap to cash in.

Picked up my new Safari this weekend. Goes mint. Got the mitsi sorted mid week so that now has a wof and reg so will be starting mods on that so I can use that off rd until the Safari is up to the task.

LROCA had the yearly trials on Sunday out by Waitakere. The rain on Saturday was enough to make the grass wet and difficult for some (me). About 20 trucks took part - Series, Defenders, Disco's, a Rangie and an RRC. The final event was a low-ratio race and the "red-mist" descended for quite a few (me) - stopping was an issue for some us (me)

This was too much for my AT's (and yes it is a long way down!):

Managed to get the biggest blowup trophy after rolling my alto
Safety gear did it's job and it drove back on the trailer at the end of the weekend

Now who said scouts wasn't fun

Now who said scouts wasn't fun

Someone who hasn't been involved. Greatest time of my life was Jamborees, and Moot.

Went for a run up the mungis with a few of the boys and found a few new tracks. Did an alternator, creased the door, tore a flare off, broke a CV, bent a tierod and squashed a trailing arm mount. Great day!

took the old mitsi in for a warrent fearing that there would be to many issues to bother spending the money. only issues were shagged brakes (every warrent), right hand wheel bearing, both upper ball joints and the uj on the front drive shaft. isnt going to be overly expensive so ill get the work done and have another 6 months to save up money for a new truck.
