Offroad-Express

i have been thinking about this event alot and after todays effort, i think i may just watch and learn from the event. i know my truck would get through a lot of the couse after watching it last year. i just thing i may be a bit stuck in alot of places and would need to mod the truck a bit more frist before entering. and aswell i have just got it, so i want to have a bit of fun and get to know it a little better frist, before i break it maybe next year. sorry al. will definitly be there cheering on the nissan boys thou (and the toyotas aswell i guess )

Rik, I hope you're listening to this, you have a wee way to go before your truck (or yourself) will be able to compete at this level

This is a bit off topic , After looking at Mike's last posting it came to my attention , that if me could find out what sort of material was used in his friends BIKINI TOP and develop it into a TOW STROP( I won't call it a SNATCH strop ) ,

IT WOULD NEVER BREAK,

FITZY.

Hey Rik, if Steve is too scared, I'll co-drive for ya!! I'm not scared!! Even if you are a guiness-fueled psycotic pom!!

Actually, if you like guiness, does that make you an Irishman.....?

I might start calling you Paddy..... tiddly-tee-potato......

Working hard to get "The Muss" there.

Looks like you have the same sought of suspension set up as Matt4u but he just uses ropes and you use tie downs

Those Mtrs look suspeciously like a set that belong to a certain other 4WD nutter from Canterbury.

Am I right Rick??

My tie down is much more up market than some scummy old rope!!!!!

Think i can co pilot you in a nissan just have to wear a dissgise so no one will see me
It was the John Smiths that made me do it cant turn a offer of that down

Kev

sounds like there could be 12 ORE trucks there this year

14 maybe. im changing my mind as i have been doing alot of driving in my new truck and well, it mite not be a real wepon out there, but it should do ok. i think i have never done an event but have been last year to the event and dont see many problems with the hazards. well i will see rick in the morning and get my entry in and take it as it comes. other than snorkal, 33's muds? and rear lsd, diff breathers, and a fairly good level of experiance. is there anything else i should be concerned about. other than its a nissan and all the other things you toymota boys will come up with

How many horse power does the Nissan have stock Steve? That would be interesting. And what's the dry weight of the model you have? Those tyres could do with more tread for mud plugging? :scratch:

Dont worry you will still beat Mikes LR

to true i have no idea what the hourse power is but it has more grunt than the surf had so it will do me as for the tyres, im in the proccess of selling the surf, winch ,and winch bars. once thats done then i can get some real rubber. if anyone wants to sponser me a set of tyres? i will put stickers on the truck. cant wait to give this mud plug a go. its full steam ahead now. :bluecap:
