Sams pile of mud


the only pic i have of rex is driving out the gate so i wont post that

Oh we cant forget the Red Bull girls, the best part of the day! andone got any pictures of them?

some of my pics





mine again, damn i hate cleaning the truck!

was a good day. I had to get away early for a wedding and save my truck for the 4th round of our trial series today

Nice pics but for all we know you just went to a farm and shoveled mud all over your trucks Where is the action shots

Maybe I should have come up and taken photos. Cant trust the drivers to get their own shots

Mike

Well, found proof that ONE board member was really there... albeit skirting around the edge and staying clean by the looks of things



Looks like a hell of a lot of fun... Peter - you going to run one in Chch for the Southern boys?

Your cameraman needs a tripod... just about threw up trying to watch that but good job... can I sell you a new door latch?

Steve

Steve

you can actually, if you have the blocks that screw to the door frame for the early handle type...and 2 of them at a good price

Actually, I was just being a smart-ass But try Ace 4WD in Chch as I think they had a complete older one in there...

Or there is always Just Cruisers in Rangiora... not sure if they still have any 40-series stuff there tho... seems to be 70-series onwards now...

Steve

called your bluff and you back out of it !..... damn cos those blocks are hard to find.....especially when i havent actually looked for any

one of the "to do" jobs

are we going to be able to get a copy of what the 4x4tv guy got from the drags ? as being in hamilton im not going to even see it when it airs on tv

The 4WD TV crew are still in NZ but will be back in Melbourne on Monday. The scheduling of the 4x4 Mud Challenge has not been sorted yet but we will advise when we know. 4WD TV also sell each program as a DVD through their website http://www.4wdtv.com.au so it will be available at some stage. It should make good viewing!

well thats kinda wierd seeing as i actually entered in the open class
ahh well was hell fun anyway

If we find out when it is going to be on TV i can record it and send it to anyone who wants it. just let me know...

I protest

Im sure there was going to be a 2wd class, especially for those that dont engage there hubs then compete

Hi to all that played that day. Thanks to all that were involved in setting up the day and organizers that must of had some sleepless nights leading up to the day .
It my first ever competition and loved every second and the hilux held together (and the clutch) which i smoked up on Thursday when i was tuning up the computer and adjusting the twin throttles, which i had just finished on Wednesday night "Bugger" . Thursday i had to make the call to change or just run with it , Running out of time so try first to adjust ,
run out of travell , look through some other old clutch bits , yes a pusher 4 mm longer back under truck fit and test , just get it into gear . that will do , Hire trailer dont think will be able to drive home ,This was a good call.
On the day the truck went well motor revved and the mud flew, cool .
Only problem was i had to be easy on the starts off the line and i needed to start the truck in gear and go , second gear low box all the way to the end and at the end of each run you could smell clutch , thats what we were here for find the weakness and rebuild .
Got back to Taupo drive to work to clean, 5 mins away change gear , bit rough but still changing then bang no more clutch .Two gear boxes one clutch plate two slave cylinders and one master cylinder up grade . Well its now going to get a auto put in . I need more events like this so i get all the jobs done. Get my drift .
2 Hours to clean under truck and still GRINNING cool day when can we come and play again, This time i will bring the rest of the team all with lexus v8s
Thanks again Klem
Ps I was in the 32 inch class as well but no times showing , must have been to fast for the clock . HaHaHaHeHeHe
