Destroyed my front right CV boot (and most likely CV) and I think I've killed my Brake Master Cylinder :cry:

On a positive note though, I added to my truck's mud sunscreen... wouldn't want the paint to fade now, would I? :shock: :lol:

sorry had to fix it. See it all the time on TM and it bugs me, along with disk. The correct spelling is DISC BRAKE.

anyhow, my weekend involved work yesterday and club fun day today where I get to drive the supercharged lexus hilux/safari, it should be fun.

Mercutio, i was in bunnings art about 9 sat morn. Dixie isnt worthy enough to even sit in a Jeep.

Thats ok wopass, next time you need a belt, or a fork to lift an engine, or a trip to tepoi.... just call me..... i got a long memory..... :wink: :P

Sotch guarded the soft top yesterday.

was amping to head back out to tepoi (with dixie and wopass) to map some points on the dudes boundarys to go playing in the bush, sussing out campsites etc but couldnt get in touch with the landowner.....

so... splashed out on some Hippo liner and did the inside of the Jeep...

Next saturday the plans are......... Some 33x12.5x15 MT/R's go on, was going to fit a snork too, but not at $714.00 i aint!!! And will propably head to bunnings and buy a little weekender/camper trailer.

might need a grader on the front lawn to get rid of all the crap now :oops:


Just like Sadam I washed the jeep after the recent trip to Rallywoods. Removed the transfer case skid and the two 10 litre buckets of clay that was jammed up around there, so I can now announce that any vehicle with 30" tyres can drive quite a few parts of rallywoods. I graded all the tracks for you :D

Bring it on, I've got a waiting list of people who want to join me to see just how I manage to get the jeep so dirty each time I have headed out to Terawhiti, and Rallywoods.

The Terawhiti mud was easier to remove from under the jeep, but I did end up with a better covering all over the jeep :lol:

I mowed my lawns, also found if I stop the mower I need to let it cool down enough to get enough compression to start it again :shock:

Hmm time for a engine swap i think, pity the lawn is so little and so many levels otherwise I would look at a PTO and Flail mower behind the toyota :twisted:

As far as 4wding i went to the skifield does that count? Oh and yes i did end up with scratches on my board :evil:

Congrats Rex how long before you your new child trained as a winch rope runner?

all the more reason to finally make some removable mud guards and get the rear bar work happening

went to our club play day in a cockies paddock on sunday.

Have new found respect for Scott, and now realise why he drives his truck everywhere fast. Please put power steering on Scott.

Mac's little suzuki was trying to fly.......

Image

Pricey wasted no time in playing and 20 mins into the day he had rolled his Lexus V8 Surf, wheels to wheels(pics to follow).........

Image

then we had to rescue Klem from the bog. His famous last words when I asked him if he had a strop. " I wont be needing a tow" :roll:

Image

A great day was had and when I get some pics oof another guy, I will post, along with some awesome video footage of Klem powering his Lexus powered hilux thru the bog.
