my name i Shane live in wellington well Upper Hutt
i drive a 70series swb cruiser with a under powered 3.4 d non turbo . on 31 10.5 15s ( apparently maxxis buckshots are crap! so not a 31")

ive also had a rangey estate bobtailed and lifted on 33's which in some way i do miss .... ( but not in fuel consumption )

Mmmmmmmm, did I manage to kill it??? If you class two conrods out the side of the block when heading into town, on the Hutt Motorway, at 7am on a Friday morning, just before the BP as killing it, then I guess I did.............

I still miss that thing. It was awesome.

This is what happens when curly takes it in for a warrent







When I had it, it was in quite a bad state. The bolts on the centre diff had come loose and muched the diff and the housing, but I fixed that and then the motor blew, so fixed that and a few other things and it got a warrent. The exterior wasnt so flash, but the interior was quite nice. Then it got part traded with a guy in napier (who tidied it up and it came up quite nice) then it came back to welly.

Did you have it before or after it went up there?

And I wasn't impressed by the attitude of the police officer who showed up either.

It was not like I planned to cause a traffic jam on the hutt motorway in peak hour traffic

The funny part was watching the people I know laughing as they drove past on the other side of the motorway
