well we got the zooki goin primo damn thing is gonna show us all up i think really nimble and so much fun to drive still needs to breath tho,... DAMMIT ! LET ME OPEN THE EXHAUST UP ! !

im still waiting for some show of interest from the jafa 4x4'ers.. or are there no aucklanders with 4x4's surely there must be... its not that far to go and will be a great fun day.

come meet some other mud mad people and get dirty with us.... sounds allmost kinky OOooohhh Yeaaa, i like it

[DJ]

which mamaku track DJ? are they off the "galaxy" road??

not telling wait and see, Dont want every man and his dog to arrive and do this or other tracks without the paper work, gets me a worse reputation. Besides when all the coments about peoples trucks capablities have come in then I'll know which track is do able and we may split into two groups one for tuff and not so tuff then meet up later. THIS IS ONLY AN IDEA at the moment and subject to change The First person that says "but you said " will be following me on a Mx bike, ask Mr cr if thats fun.
Mr cr hows that head / did u manage to spit out all the stones and sparks bet you didnt think u could do 60 to 80kph up thompsons track eh ?and I still laugh about almost landing next to the yuppies MU's
cheers DJ
keep the vehical coments rollin in

[wopass]

HAHHHA, fair enough.

so i better bring my big wheels just in case then be good to see/meet all the people and have a good day that we can all tell stories/lies about hehhe.

how much road traveling is there likely to be mate?, just thinking if i do my wheel swap somewhere central to where we are heading or if were doing a loop it wont be a problem, maybe come over early and swap over tyres at your pad maybe ... plenty of time for organising yet i guess. wait for your desicion on location and go from there

[chops]

ive found an aucklander with a 4wd with pto and ATXs who is came for some mud/fun

[wopass]

Busy weekend!!!

Looks like we are getting quite a group together for this venture!!!!

Good to see there are some good keen folk up in this part of the country.

Important:

All vehicles must have some form or safe recovery point at the front and rear of the vehicle.
Whether that is the tow bar at the rear with the ball replaced with a D shackle and a hook (factory or other wise) at the front.

Note: tie down loops on the chassis are not suitable.

If every one could make sure before the come that would be great!!!



Cheers,
Pete.

[wopass]

true dat ... gogo recovery points and snatch straps

wonder if the driver of the jeep managed to duck in time

[guppy]

if theres room i have a auckland bred/rised hilux work hack thats keen.

[DieselBoy]

Good on ya man, it would be rude not to!!!
Keep your eye on this space, we will post meeting times and places as such late this week or early next week.

Its getting to the point where we have enough interest to make a decision on those

Good on you all for joining the fun. See ya in the mud in two weeks

[DieselBoy]

So a quick tally up of who's coming in what:


Me(DieselBoy) = Whale = Off to the pannel beater to get stone chips on my inner gaurds fixed

Wopass = Cruiser = Somthing about sinking in deep water?? He doesn't even have a snorkel!!!

DJ = Hybrid Surf = Mission Comander Sir.

Klompy = ??? = Dj's mate, so obiviously somthing equally insane

mr_cr = dble cab lo lux =Wopass's dodgy mate

Chops = heep = Wants to prove he can go further than a automatic honda civic on 13's.

De-Ranged = Pajero = wants to prove he can go further than Chops's heep

Furgus = LR90 = Just wants to make it to the start of the track

Guppy = Lo lux = keen, but worried about scuffing his 21" Chromies before doing the laps up Queen Street on Saturday night

Brother of the dodgy Wopass =Celica powered Zook = I need BIG exhaust!!!!

Remoured to be coming:

Liftedfj = Cruiser = Dunno, but he has rear seats out of a Honda Civic i hear...........................

I reckon we have enough to sort out a place to meet on Saturday Morning!!!

9am is a good time, up a six, leave at 7, two hours to get to the meeting point. You can get most places in two hours.

We'll see what DJ pulls outa the bag in terms of where we head, then we can make a better call on a time and meeting place.
If ya think of a 9am meeting time on Sat morning, i doutb the final time will be that much different.
No one worried about driving home in the dark??
Winter and all, make the most of the day that way!!!

[wopass]

no no no no... mr_cr = motocross buddy in dble cab hilux 2.8d with my old kumho's on it =big balls but crys when he has to spend money

2ltr celica powered zook is my brother. big balls and will try to follow me through anything ... normally the bastage just drives around the shit i just got burried in ...

and maybe another motocross buddy if i can talk him into it, hes a pussy tho and will probably wuss out... he rides a CR as well, must be something about CR's and pussys... Meoooow...

[Furgus]

Damn right I'll be happy to get to the start of the track - at he moment it's playing silly buggers & won't start in the mornings - I guess it's the glow plugs - but I'm damned if I'm gonna spend any cash on the motor when it's about to get ripped out

[DieselBoy]

Psst, don't mention its a Nissan LD28, the buggers will start giving me shit!!!
As usual I'm out number by Toyota 10 to 1, its just like being back down south.

DJ,
How ya getting on with your route choice man??

very good at the moment just finishing off the details.

[wopass]

mr_cr has chuuuur alloys with Kumho MT's on his lux now( the old wheels from my cruiser), man does that make it look waaaay cooler...unfortunatly he appears to have been double booked and isnt going to make the saturday run ... ahhh well, more mud for me

and the Gonzo's zooki got new tubes today aswell so he can get freaky in the mud ... now all i have to do is fit my cool new tree smashing bumper,make sure the old girl starts,and im good to go

ohhh hey guppy, dont forget to bring the dvd player and 8 speaker sound system and the wooly seat covers ...

i think i have some fluffy dice somwhere

[Furgus]

Now you know how I said I thought that the glow plugs were a bit iffy, & how it didn't start all that well

Well now it appears to be f*#$@d

Loaded it up this morning to take the empty beer bottles (ginger beer obviously ) to the dump and the little b@$^@#d wouldn't start

So off I toddled to the nearsest repco & just about spilled my meths when told that 6 new glowplugs would cost $196 No damn way am I spending that cash when the motors coming out soon.

Around comes a mate (Neil - the guy I co-drive for in the Nationals) to try & cheer me up - and we mess about to no avail - anyway run the battery flat trying to start it up - no worry try another battery - not enough charge in any other batteries

Ok what next cunning idea lets try starting it up with some ether

Roll started it down the drive (Mike you know the drive ) fired up OK - blowing lots of smoke but hell it's a diesel - left it to idle for about 1 1/2 hrs to charge up the battery - try & restart it NOTHING

Sounds as if we've killed the starter.

Anyways - doesn't look like I'll be able to play next weekend now

DieselBoy this is all your fault -

Furgus = LR90 = Just wants to make it to the start of the track

I blame you completely

Well at least one good thing has come of it - the V8 that has been sat in the shed that I'd decided to use to repower the 90 got a good look at today - and we could be onto a winner

Opened it up and it has had a new cam recently - so hopefully rings, lifters etc were done at the same time

The motor went with Neil to the workshop this arvo & tomorrow we'll do a compression test & try & fire it up - if it's all good that a transplant is on the way.


Will start a new thread & post pics as we go

Yeah your right thats one steep drive Thought I wouldnt make it up there in the old girl

I reckon you could do a conversion in a week You need to get some LR blood going on that trip. Far to many toyotas and nissans (one is to many :albino: )
Must be someone on here who can send you some glow plugs to borrow for the trip. Try messaging humvee (top LR nut as well) , last count I recall him having two ld28 engines. Mention your a LR nut and I'm sure he'll save the day

Mike

[wopass]

from tha sounds of the other re-build thread the guy that is helping you do it is a legend and will have you driving this weekend easy
