dunno if its where Pete got them from but I got mine from STA parts in auckland. They usually have a selection on TM as well

check them out at http://www.staparts.co.nz/

Click on the which is the brand of seats and look at selection. The basic black vinyl ones (fixed Back) are well priced for a pair.

I've got a funny feeling that it was homebuilt but based on a jeep sort of

Pete, get hold of Steve at 4wdfiberglass of Mike at I think Delta 4wd parts??????

Ya hit it right on the head

I will get incontact with Trev one of these days, but really, who care's what it is. If the Jeep guys wanna wank over it great, let them

To me its just a set of grunty mud tyres with a V8 to spin them all in a nice heavy duty package

[tpft]

better save some grass for the 17th,
my little herd/flock on a bit of a diet at the moment.
and freezer full

gladdis is going to come and peg the hazzards, be interested to see what he comes up with?
guy in a hilux on 35,s tried to get threw my bog in summer, took us 5hrs too get him out.

p.s any trucks not able to be recovered on the day become property of landowner

Sounds like a bit of a challenge !!!!!!! Like you said lets see what Gladys can come up with.......although I might be free to come up & lend a hand too.

p.s any trucks not able to be recovered on the day become property of landowner

Hmmmmm do we need to refit the winch ??????

by the way I have no idea where your place is so if you could pm me the addy that'd be cool....

[xj]

no point wanking over it Pete.... its not a jeep, so i wouldnt waste my seed!!!! (dare i say it though, its made to look like a jeep, but would probably outlast and outperform 99% of the Jeeps around... Im gunna get shot for saying that.....)

Awesome effort man, well done.

Wopwop gunna get OWNED now!!!!!

[tpft]

re: club champs, looks like going to be a change

a farm that is being converted too kiwi fruit has become avail, so going to do a speed day instead
my place next month when a bit ..............less wet
sort of suxs for me (little piddly 4age )

but if u keen DB and others to let that chevy breathe?
i,ll post up location shortly
still need to be a club truck with cage, harnesses etc

[Madaz]

MMMMMMM- Speed day - Hell yeah

Theres definently a couple of trucks that i can think of that would be keen for a thrash

[DieselBoy]

Hell yeah, the new motor needs a thrash to get the valve stem seals and rings to bed in properly, getting sick of the cloud of smoke everytime i fire it up from cold

[tpft]

hazzards be like a winch challange but without the winching, if u get my drift
i.e multiple goes too clear a hazzard if needed , however in quickest possible time..........

should be fun, last club round had a rally section threw the bush, rough, airborne and like 3rd gear pinned
man the blood sure gets pumping................................

Hell yeah, proper time trials

No one's run one of those for years!!!!!!!!

Quick update:

Flares, stickers, bonnet clips etc etc



My fuel tank failed its cert on a non existant I.D tag, so after a few anxious weeks looking for a replacement or suitable alternative i finally got my hands on a fork lift tank. The fork lift tank was my original plan, but you just can't buy then from anywhere!!!!!



The best part is i can now carry spare fuel on long trips!!!!! ( fork lift tanks are all about 40L from what i can tell)

[mercutio]

looking good dude

and that explains the thread about LPG

so what is happening to the fiddy

[DieselBoy]

so what is happening to the fiddy

The Honest truth???

Well, lets say the sad truth

Its still sitting in the shed with a broken axle and covered in mud from the last laurie sanson round. I got home and was really pissed that i had broken two axles in one day and was going to have to pull apart yet another diff and raid it for axles. I already had two sitting there minus axle shafts.

I also had an LJ81 sitting in the paddock ready to strip the diffs out of and slip under the 50.

It was then that i got thinking, if i put the LJ80 axles under it, then what next?? A bigger motor??

Basically, if i want a bigger motor and a stronger drive train i was going to be better off getting something else and butchering that.

So i covered it up in the shed, donated the LJ81 to another worthy cause and forgot about it for a while untill the new truck was ready.

I'm pretty attached to the 50, and have more spare parts for it than you would believe (two garden sheds full, plus some stuff out at Dan NZHunters, and more out at my parents), so i will pull the Lockright out of the rear in an effort to slow down the axle eating, and drive now and again on sundays

Unless someone makes me an offer i can't refuse

BTW, the 50's trailer is to small for the new wreckage , so looking for a bigger trailer if anyone comes accross a good deal

[lilpigzuk]

looking Good too see the original name back on it.

[DieselBoy]

Had a good run in it at the weekend, engine is running much cleaner now

Trans is a bit dodgy, but will see what i can get done to it to make it hang in there a bit longer

The LPG Tank is WAAAAAAAAAAAAY to small.After a very quiet trundle up to the summit of Thompsons, and full throttle burst up to the top, a quick spin around some of the play areas and some shagging around rescueing other people from another group that where well stuck, i arrived back to the trailer with under 1/4 of a tank.

I really need that 80L tank in there, plus the Forklift tank for back up on long trips

Anyone got an 80L tank thats under 1000mm in length and would still scrape through a tank test kicking around?? The original tank is mint, but the ID plate has gone missing so they can't put a test cert on it apparently. I have another tank thats in test, but its 90L and too big for the hole

[nstg8a]

do you have room to run two 40l tanks side by side?

we always have those bottles lying round work, ongas wouldnt have a clue how any there really is....

[icekayak]

Dunno what you wanna spend or what their worth but there's one here... (if you haven't already spotted it)
