Yep twas only 5 hundy so I was happy with that. Engine needs a little tittivating, but probably only head off stuff. But I'm not worried either way, I'd like to whack a 3.8 in it, we'll see when I get it home.

Weekends achievement...........

Reminisced when reading weekends achievements thread was ONE post from EACH member about there 4WD trip/mod for the weekend...

<ontopic> did some more work on new zuk - driveline complete engine now connected too front and rear diffs, colour decided <ontopic>

<rant>Soooooooooooooo many people dont post at all now cos you have too wade through sooooooooooo much bullshit to find something interesting too read. Only a handfull of people SPOILING it for everyone<rant>

<rant again> no doubt those that fark me off will reply too my post just too confirm my thoughts. Funny how most joined ORE too get away from 4wd club politics, this place is worse than the farkin beehive debating chamber <rant off>

totally agree with you lilpig to much crap to look through to see what other people have done for the weekend
did a little more to the truck roof connected just have to fibreglass it now

Caught up with Nstg8a and grabbed a pair of leaf springs outta his parts surf. Had every intention of fitting them yesterday, but they are still sitting in the boot of my car...

Went out on sat to join the Wellington Xmas trip, had fun driving on sand for the first time, then as we were heading up the creek I managed to break my shock absorber mount, not so much fun, made for an interesting drive back (over the gate especially). Made it out ok, cut some new groves in my tyres from the frount right binding up in the guard. Good times

had a good weekend at ngaroma, working bee at the lions lodge on saturday, then proceded to drink piss until i dont know when, got abused by dennis (cruz on here)all night about my pussy fire lighting skills with the bbq,then on sunday had a excellent day out at the block ,welding my rear diff has so far stopped me blowing front diffs, but i bottom out on the ruts so i need to build my new toy now

Well let me add to it ... Feel free to tell me if it's worth the time to read

What I did ... I found that you can go 22 km in a Bighorn after the fuel light comes on
You can not go 23 km however

I also found that if you should attempt to go 23km after the fuel light comes on you can spend a lot of time getting fuel back through to the injectors where it belongs

And it also upsets the wife when she has to come out in the rain and tow you home via a gas station
Though I noticed she did enjoy telling others about it the next day.

one of my best weekens ever.

had to work sat morn, then towed orange to welly for someone to look at, had drinks for turning 35 on sat nite, met a tyrekicker on sun to look at orange(keen as he said, but no ring back), job interview on monday turned into job offer, job taken, and on tuesday me and the wife decided our marriage was worth saving, so watch out welly boys here I come.

orange not sold yet, so rallywoods and the akas could be getting a hammering soon.

got up at 3am this morning to drive back to taupo for work.

so there ya have it

I'm quite pleased with my weekend, apart from being absolutely knackered now.

xmas eve, I think I'll be sneaking into welly, but I'll be keeping a low profile for a while, so you won't see me out there for a while.

maaate, thems race seats are a tight squeeze even for me, but I suppose after a few bumpy tracks thru rallywoods, you'll be well and truly jammed in the seat.

ahhh no, those would have to be rated tie down points!! Jerry? input please

its a complex formula involving the mass and weight of Newbie, the angle of the hill, how much beer Skid has had, and what type of knot has been used. I would recommend that 86-surf oversea and certify the knots after the 2 hr safety lecture on tying hooks wearing his orange safety vest and hard hat.

he knows how to tie knots.

I've seen the pics of his diff tied to his springs.

bloody good idea if you need to attach your diff back on in the bush or move the truck whilst you get new u bolts

Anyone know where I can get some Mitsi Lockers...and an adapter kit to fit a Holden 3.8..... Just in case the little 56 is terminal.

Mitzi diesel equals hand grenade with shortish fuse. Don't wait, Yorick, do the GM thing asap.

Because it's VERY hard to turn WELD on and off on demand.

Nah, you just tell it its looking good, lost a little weight, maybe a lick or two. Then a few cheap drinks and some Barry White..... ;);)

You can switch it off....just press the pedal thingy on the right and the the complex mixture of dodgy electronics and those turny bits and the string t will break both half shafts
