Mike is going to have a landy that rocks within 2 weeks... aren't you Mike... for when I come down... ay Mike... to go on Al's birthday trip... ay Mike... in 2 weeks... ay Mike ;)

Mike wrote:This build is perfect as it will be ready for the sheffield mudplug. Last years one it was running a very sad 135hp (factory rating) and this year it will have a nice 3.9 efi with 196hp (factory rating) so should be a whole lot more fun.

JUST A REMINDER REGISTRATION IS ONLY REQUIRED FOR THOSE DOING THE NZQA Course.

Those that have already done this course etc do not need to register ie just turn up with your truck and beer (for after the days driving etc)

its a good excuse to leave the missus to neatly place things where she wants them, without you having a say in it.

what more could a woman want, apart from everything

I like your thinking, but I need to secure the garage before it's full of who knows what that isn't my stuff. Also she just let me buy a "new" XJ when really we should have more important things to spend money on, so she has some moral high ground just now.

Don't panic FEN, there is a general training day coming up after this and the NZQA one will be run again after this when there is enought interest again. Look out for some upcoming shiny Aka's trips soon....

Cool - we've bought a place over the hill, but once I get a second recovery hook on the XJ and fit some decent tyres (are Pirelli Scorpion's as bad as I think they look?) then hopefully I can actually get my backside in gear and join in.

Edited to say they are Scorpion ATRs I think... Why someone went from 225/70x15 to a 30x9.5 flotation tyre with such a road bias I don't understand.

If you need help fitting one or need a hook PM Stinky, DownunderXJ may help and show you where to mount them....

Will do. I found some info on where to mount the second one on an Aussie forum someone linked to in the Jeep section, but it looks like there is a bit of strengthening to do and it sounds like just using the one it already had could twist the shell in a heavy recovery.
