Hi Everybody,
I'm something of a newbie to all this 4wding. I had a V6 terrano a coupleof years back, and loved it, but couldn't afford the yanker required to keep it in gas, so I ended up selling it on.
I'd taken it for a play in the mud once or twice, drowned the gearbox, wrecking it completely ($3250 later) but never got right into offroading.
Recently I got offered a Diesel Terrano, for what i thought was a reasonable price so I just had to get it.
So I'm in the process of getting a few bit and pieces to make it a little better in the dirt. I bought some rims off this helpful bloke on trademe, who also had a terrano, so when I picked them up and had a bit of a yak to him.
Turns out he's a member here (Ryan), and he reckoned a few jokers on here might be able to offer a beginner like myself a few "pearls". So here I am... Go easy on me!
gidday, this is me...

At some point or other, we were all newbies.
Hell, I am one still and expect to be one for ever...... Ask Wopass or Jezza......... However, I guess I am your closest point of contact. I am in PN occaisionally on business or pleasure fairly often, leave contact details and will stop and buy you a beer one day.
