Offroad-Express

I worked on my lux and mike came around and grindered and weldered some shit

wheres the guard on that grinder, still got ya bits after using that thing

took the missile for a trip on the trailer to petes place and did some skids/winching practice...wow is that gonna be some messy shit to clean up!!!...literaly

Quiet weekend for me. Drove down to Aucks this morning to collect boot liner for the new wagon - dodgy trade-me meet in a carpark deal but can't argue with saving $300

Still loving the new truck - permagrin

Now I can swap all the work and recovery gear out of the old Disco, get it cleaned up and hopefully sold.

Anyone want a 94 NZ new 300 Tdi Discovery? Very well maintained but high K's. No ABS or Airbags to go wrong nice simple motor. It's not been modded but still gets places as all landies do. PM me for more details if your keen.

Serously dude I am realy hoping that's a joke

That would take your arm off if you slipped


I should have looked closer
Good photo-shop job

Well, I was a winch bitch in the manawatu club teams recovery day today which started good untill one of our team members belts all came off. seems the crank pully and the idler pullys had come loose and pretty much destroyed them selves so after completing only one hazard we spent the rest of the day getting him out

but what a good day it was

took tonka and 4 other trucks out to a mates farm today, had such a good time and tonka goes sooo hard! I became the recovery bitch though.
Me and another truck have to go back tomorrow night to recover a landy thats broken down in a swamp as we cant even get the tractor there so hehe i love night missions!

SO Mike, did you have to hand start that grinder?
A little 4" is going to struggle to get a blade that size going.

Not photo shopped and no I didnt use that I said to 2's surely youve got a bigger disc than that (referring to worn out 100mm grinding disc) and he comes back with that So we thought we'd make a photo op. You couldnt even hold the grinder as the disc was nearly the whole length!

I'm sure you will have some sort of technical reason

Well have taken out the radiator in my truck , and it is soaking in a metal bath as it is caked in mud , so it is going to take SOME time to clean, but thats all good.

actually cleaned the surf.

Then proceded to get it muddy again

Hell of a lot of fun!, great day, you guys doing the Costa comp at QBW are gonna love it!
We struggled to get the Jalopy round between the trees and pegs, 3 point turns all over the place! Gonna have to chuck some fiddles on, or get rear steer done Euan didnt have to do anything, cept remind me to turn the lockers off
Really tight courses suited Suzuki's, but their downfall was the bogs, no prob for 40's
A bit of carnage as Haynzy said, broken crank snout on the Steve's Paj, and a Landy sucked a lungful after rolling into a pond/boghole, and a Rangie blew up its transfercase, oil trail and bits of alloy on the ground We suffered a mashed in door, goddam trees.

Sure was an awesome event. Tried to follow Jafa through a bog hole which he made nice and easy and we dissapeared into the bog. Was a good thrash for the truck, altough throws a bit of mud around and took along time to clean



Have some video footage of a quick play afterwards, but will have to figure that bit out first

Looking at the difference in times ,im sure some of the other teams must of had a plan to get value for money and spend as much time as they could in the seat either that or Jafa must of taken a few short cuts

didnt end up going, was waaaay too wet you can hardly walk the track down let alone try and tow a vehicle back up it! so ill have to do it another night this week or the weekend

Yeah, Hills Hills was cool, as usual, I managed to crunch a few trees, but for once no damage and didnt need the sledge hammer to straighten out the roof. Dug a lot of holes with my new JTs so have to learn how to drive better with them. Feel sorry for Steve, open heart surgery required on the Pajero, should buy a Landy
Thumbs up to Tony H in his V8 Landy, drove the bog start to finish with open diffs
Also thanks to Safari Pete for an outstanding effort as my co pilot. That man deserves a DB
