Did some cleaning up of the welds on my snorkel, found a couple of small holes so still some finishing work, hopefully done and fitted by the weekend Went to get some before shots of the rear clearance/lack of artic in the suzu, of course that ment finding a suitable area show it, what a shame it had to be the Ashley Hopefully I will also integrate the footage/pics into my home page I'm building.

went to speed day and slid all over the place taking out as many pegs as I could
finally got to meet wopass
and if you need a tow wagon to tow over 2 tonne of trailer and cruiser, then you don't need to look any further than an 80 series cruiser. they are the most awesome tow wagon ever. I was so impressed with my new purchase........
if you want see some more pics then look here.....

had the first round of our club champs yesterday, placed okay beat the wife and didnt break anything. My co-driver brought my old buggy panel and painted it and his partner put it on its roof in the last hazard of the day. nobody hurt some more dents and no scracthes to the paint or signwriting all in all a good day
Fitted my 33s and then had to go and check if they rubbed any where and so, as billy did - went to the Ashley. Later went to try their abilities in the mud with a cobber. Managed to lead him into a new mud hole I'd found and left him behind in it after I had climbed through. Tried to tow him out - no joy, tried snatching - no joy. Tried winching - snapped my shear pin (aka 4"nail). Went round the back of him and tried snatching and eventually got him out. All fun.
Later went and got myself stuck in a deep hole with big ruts. (need bigger tyres!! A bunch of young people with their b/r cars and a tent and stereo going were have a hidden party of sorts nearby and they seemed most concerned as to if it was my own truck or some one else's and why I went into the hole!
original 31s
33's - I washed the rims before putting them on...
after trying them in the mud - I can actually get mud up the side of the truck now with the extra 2 inches width
The 33's don't look big on it, actually just make it look balanced the 31s were a bit puny.
Sold my 1985, BJ74 MWB Landcruiser, rear locker, 33" MTs, snorkel, PTO winch, solid bars all round, spotties, AM CB etc.
Now just a 1994, 1kz Surf, pretty standard.

where were you hiding?
i was following wopass's group round as towel boy for my fellow club members. i was wearing the red and black mountain bike worlds jacket if anyone saw me.
so still some finishing work, hopefully done and fitted by the weekend
