Thats all the vids i have of it at the moment, will get some more when i take it out and about next.

Going to get the cert man to go over it next week so will get my recaro seats in it this weekend. Fingers crossed that goes well.

Mate thats an awsome looking truck

The sound of that V8 would put a horn on a jellyfish :!:

Got a bit more done on it over the weekend, Ive got the pto working now as it needed a few modifications to the shaft as its been moved back and up.

Also got the recaros fitted, definatly are nicer than the safari seats to sit in.

I decided to add a couple of Hoops to the bull bar to protect the lights. Just got to ad a couple of horns for the rope and that will be done.

Really Looking forward to the Tararua Teams Challenge in 2 weeks cant wait to get it out there and see what it is capable of.

Here is an Updated engine bay pic as well

Mike

Foundations yes but at the moment its a club truck, i dont have the funds to compete at this stage and it still needs a 6-point cage. Depending on what im doing when the next season comes up it may be seen competing.

Then again there are still a few months till the Rotorua Winch Challenge :wink:

What was the difference between the coils you run now, and the ones on TM?

doddzee · Post by **doddzee** » Sun May 06, 2007 3:59 pm

Just the spring rate, the rears in mine are 220lb and the fronts about 250.

Bought the dobisons because i thought the fronts i had were too low but after a couple of trips they are working well. I wasnt planing on using the rears as they are too stiff for my truck, they are more suited for a LWB.

Shane, the vids are AVI files, you may need to download an AVI Codec or a newer version of media player. Im not sure how to change the video format sorry otherwise id upload them as mpegs.

Impressive, from the centre pic in the second lot it does look like the tyres clear well. No doubt with the help of a little bit of horsepower and a bit of right jandal :thumright:
But from the look on your co-drivers face I am not sure if the just tossed the hook or whether it is coming at him :lol:

Looking good Doddzee, so I'm guessing we will have to organise an ORE event down here somewhere.... :lol:
