it seems everyone is getting confused with the 2 areas to post your weekend achievements,as their seems to be a few in the non 4wd related section that should be here.

never mind

anyway, I went round to my mates cruiser workshop today to change the clutch on the 80.

turns out that after a lot of grunting and groaning to get the farkin gearbox out, that my clutch was brand new anyway

so the noises I was hearing and attributing to the clutch due to the noise going away when you depress the clutch pedal, turned out to be the front driveshaft about to part company with the wagon.
the universals were that flogged and there was a chunk missing that would of caused it to fly apart within the next few days, so we caught it just in time.

so now I'm needing a new driveshaft

Sig just wrecked one recently...he might have one

Yep Skid, I was there as well in Sadam's wagon. Sorry but the 'baby' cruiser passed with flying colours on this one too.
There could be hope for my hilux one of these days

Some good looking rocks on the Staircase and all

Did Sadam or anyone make it up the staircase???

I think all of us did unaided on foot Curly got stuck in a couple of places and we couldn't find a rated hook so we just pushed him back down the hill

Well Jerry, if it was a real cruiser then it wouldn't of been an issue to push someone down the hill. However the 'baby cruiser'............... , next time try a real one eh?? Mind you a real cruiser wouldn't have to be towed down the hill
Maybe I will bring mine along next time.........

Nup .... went down the rock garden and went back up the same way, we only walked over and had a look at the bottom of the staircase, Chris seems to think that'll be a trip to do a bit later in the year

Shit you wernt joking about that nasty corner getting down there where I did the off camber 200 point turn to get my LWB around

found the fault in the wiring loom which was causing the efi fuse to blow looks like that part of the loom has been farkin hot, got rid of the miss on number 6 cylinder, back to screaming on all six

In Christchurch for the weekend. Bought a new toy, 1jz powered lux, Bretts (insky) old one. Went and saw Pete (petemcc) and Phil (philux). Ripped a big skid in Phils driveway. Driving back to Hamilton tomorrow.

All day friday and Saturday on the Pajero, the Niva is feeling a little ignored. Last few weeks have seen a bit of work in various places culminating in an all out almost all nighter to get Paj up to scratch for the Thames Club's Laurie Sanson. Threw away the bumpers and shortened ends of the chassis to sort the entry and exit angles. Fitted new water pump and timing belt. (Why are crank Pulleys always such a mission to get off. A hole through the pulley face that you could put a 12 mm bolt into a thread in the block would be way too easy as would a stepped shank bolt that just gently pulled the pulley off the crank.)

Fitted rated hooks both ends. That should keep Jerry smiling for the next trip to Rallywoods.

New 33"x12.5 Buckshot Mudders had been fitted early in the week.

Scurried up to Maramarua and did the Laurie Sanson and got Second in Class! Yes! Even after completely screwing up the speed section. And it seemed like ORE guys took a big chunk of the top prizes Big Ups to the Thames Club guys for finding the only wet mud in the Waikato and a well run event all for $5 with a Barby included! Excellent day.

Well I did a job that was 1 year overdue after my body lift. I trimmed my 4wd lever trim, so now I can use 4WD properly
