I'm in Riccarton. Will PM you. Aza (my passenger) had a camera but took very few photos. Rubbish camera man if you ask me

We ended up continuing on with the other lot that turned up, up past rangiora doing tracks up there. Was good fun!

went up to muriwai beach on sunday and heres a few pics

















photos courtesy of a good mate jo curphey, awesome photographer, pretty sad to see NO MUD fall off a ledge into the ocean for 3 hours in high tide

Pretty successful weekend all up, new wheels and tyres fitted. 32x11.5 Nankang N889's which fit perfect and don't rub anywhere.

much better than before:


After:





Then Took it for a decent bash on Sunday with Some of the Shore 4Wheel boys and had an absolute blast, looking forward to the next run!

Pics and video to come when I get it from my co-pilot... did have to get towed a bit... steep sandy hills were my downfall... the little Navara that could proved incredibly capable overall though I am stoked! just need a little more power... and some more experience... and maybe a rear locker... and to fix whatever is now vibrating under the floor lol.

the pics I do have...

Stuck on steepish hill


this one in fact:


getting towed... again:


pics/vid of me actually going forward shortly lol

Edit: How it is supposed to look:

get some lockers for it, also rear axle tends to get all the drive when going gets soft , yank on the hand brake, to slow the rear wheels and feed the drive to the front wheels, I've done it in a ute and it works

This ^^^ is a helpful hint, will try it out next outing

How can you slow the rear wheels only?

All the wheels should be spinning the same speed

Handbrake is a rangi locker to try even load between the back wheels but in no way it should send power to the front.......

pics of my turbo conversion on my L200


what i started with gutless non turbo


some of the parts ready to bolt on,L300 turbo and manifold,pajero inlet manifold to take the pajero intercooler

L300 oil filter housing with the drain for the turbo


turbo and manifold on


all together and runnin still got a few finishing touchs to like a bit of paint here and there and replace the powerade catch can

that turbo conversion looks great!! when pete is involved things happen at a huge rate! i actually belive that petes ability to work hard counter-acted the shift in the earth after the recent Japan Earthquake

Ok crack up I have been going through the search function seeing what is said about these and you put it all in one sentence haha.

Lucky for me its the wifes car so its only going to see shiny trips but now I have a tow car for the bighorn no more high fuel bills to get to woodhill.

I got those springs in as well there was no change in the height but made it really stiff in the rear end just what it needs as its really boaty with the factory springs. Only down side is they fall out at full flex lol I might get some coil spacers to help fix that problem.

how about the ARb 2'' lift breaks rear shocks. rear trailing arm bushes flogg out,
don't worry about one folows me most places or i follow him
