pulled front locker assembly out of trials truck, locker ring burred up and jamming, now going to clean it up and send to the steel hardeners in Auckland to see if they can get it right the second time!! also noticed the front stay bar is ripping a large chunk out of the front diff housing, more steel and more migging to come up.

what locker? arb or copy? bit of a worry the locker ring getting burred.

Did a body lift on the Mu to allow me to run my new 33's in the next Laurie Sanson. It was SO easy - only bit I forgot was to remove the fan shroud FIRST before I did the lift. It would have been easier to remove if the fan hadn't been jammed against it.

Today I'll pop back down the workshop and fit up the 33's and possibly BFH the sharp edges under the guards - just in case

Broke 4 1/2 inch power bars trying to get an axle nut off to change wheel hub/bearing. Then once sorted (with a 3/4 inch bar and a 4ft extension) managed to partially strip a thread on the brake calliper. Only took two days to do an hours work.

Fixed the rear driveshaft (it had lost the grease plug from the yoke). It required removal/re-fit of the u-joint.

Rotated tyres and adjusted rear brakes (I know it pointless to do that on a Wrangler, but then I was in there any way).

Greased everything and noticed the boot on the joint between drag link and pitman arm was split. Something to do next weekend I guess.

had a good weekend

few blokes workin on 4x4's listening to Iron Maiden ... doesnt get any better really

Welding and grinding , welding and grinding , welding and grinding and a little bit of painting, sums up my weekend.
Sure the neighbors aren't to impressed with me either.
Made alot of progress on the Zuks guards though.

Went to beach hop for the weekend.....so frekkin awesome!!! saw a couple of 4wds cruising around including that rediculously lifted hilux off trademe on like 40s or something way to high to be practical though. A few nices 40s as well

Think i need a V8 now!!!

Friday - Worked all night
Saturday- slept, made a list of what i need to sort on surf.
Sunday- filly serviced surf, steamcleand underneath.

managed to repair minisprint ready for wellys last nite

only to have the car slip off the jack and go through the radiator so that really turned me on

anyways car will be ready for easter at ohakea so if any of you guys are in the manawatu area that weekend come out to harrisville on easter sunday for a good day of racing

DB..... theres a nice safari sitting in the adjacent garage that you could accidentally spill some paint on....hu...hu...hu
Looks awesome guys!!

took my new 80 for a shiney trip out kimbolton for 2 days easy driving

avoided all the mud bogs and could even see out of all the windows...

i did get withdrawls thou when we got to the play areas..........

finally got rear bar made up for me surf, bit late though, already staked both rear corners and smashed a lens, as you can see, that will all get fixed in good time.
So now i got some rear recovery hooks, these surfs dont have any factory rear tow points at all
Strong as a house, x2 10,000lb hooks, finished in bling black pearl





cheers to the old man, slaved over this most of Saturday, while i assisted

Wow, looks damn good, thats a lot like what i want to make for mine, except i "want" somewhere on the rear to put my spare, thinking a hinge type thing similar to terrano's and later model surf's.

yea i was contimplating that, but decided i didnt want the leverage off the bar.
instead, as ive pulled out my rear seats the spare sits in the well where the seat used to be, sits real snug, and its tied up against the side, going to modify rear seat so that can still seat 2 in the back with the spare still where it is.
