Lots of work done on the course, awesome! I pasted the hanmer turn off at around 4pm that day heading south home from Nelson. I was surprised that there wasn't more advertising on the road side for the event fellas!! I'm sure you had enough to organize before the day. But more advertising of the event wouldn't have gone a miss Rick, Frank n Jase?? Man, it looked like an awesome day!! Feel like I really missed out.

Apolagies to all i offended stupidly thought this was an open forumn so i will start again
my name is rik and i recently moved( 7 years ago) to Aotearoa (thats what us hommies in the tuahiwi hood call it) and im new to 4 wheel driving (i believe the term is 4x4 ing when using text slang as you gain status in the said "4x4 community"") and am eager to build a vehicle to go offroad in looked at a land cruiser similar to this red one but found they had a problem with burning oil so discarded that idea so looked at a surf like this one
which looked most impressive but had big big issues with the drivers side springs collapsing and i only saw it driven a couple of times so was worried about the reliability eventually settled on a mighty hilux double cab ute it had enough room to fit the family in for trips away (or lots of beer) had a massive deck on back so it was practical for work or (tools to fix other broken trucks that might have sheered a bolt in the suspension for example) so i set to work and put some slightly bigger tyres on and modified it a little here and there then i bought some bigger tyres and has been in modification mode ever since and one day the mighty hilux shall rise from the shed and be invincible once more and as for the other comments "no brickys" sssssshhhhhh there might be to much work to do "no bad language"f### me well you can f###### stick that up your f####### a### you f###### a### wipe of a d### brained c#### and whats this "rules " thing ??? i dont understand?? as for the pom thing i find it offensive as i live in the hood wit my bros and hoes so watch your back!!!!!!!!!

Tell me when your shit is ready and we'll go and break some stuff (just like the old days)

Well I think even Nibbys done his build quicker Your POS (when its not being towed behind a red Cruiser) will be lucky to see any 4x4ing this side of Christmas 2015. You can't even ride in a little buggy without hurting your poor wee shoulder At least those big tyres are lasting well. Had them on the truck almost 3 years and they're only quarter worn. I'm thinking you do more offroad in the JCB than you do in whats left of your Hilux

I remember the days when the MASSIVE DECK had room for the Chilly Bin, Picnic Hamper, Bags for change of clothes for the kids and room for the Dog . In those days the Hi Lux could do a hard day 4WDing ,drive under it's own power home , and be the Trade Vehicle the next day . Then the Pom started on the IMPROVMENTS , several motors latter, numerous suspension systems, all the spare drive shafts that Lineside had and a Deck that would barely fit the Radiator and Spare Wheel no room for the poor Dog and eat everyone else's lunches . Get It Going Again RICK,
IT'S BEEN A LONG TIME BETWEEN DRINKS,

If you guys can stop thinking bout the good old day just for a second I'll post the results from our little event. Also want to say a huge thanks to our sponsors. Alpine Village Inn Hanmer Caltex Hanmer Cookes NZ Ltd AJ Swarbrick Hanmer Hotpools Rangiora Transport
Also another huge thanks to the people who helped out on the day especially the Suzuki Club. Without the help and support of the above people and businesses we couldn't have made it happen. Cheers guys
