Offroad-Express

well got all my winch parts back on friday

so far have managed to get it all together, set up and on the truck with rope spooled on

gonna give it a run sometime over the weekend to polish the gears up before any real loads are applied

un dented my sump and changed to oil and filter

still need to change gearbox mount yet

then will start n the power steering (cheers to beer cruiser for more pics)

then onto the coils (maybe after club champs) will see how things pan out

just did a 2" lift on my mates VX, looks primo and handles much nicer, just springs.then oil and filter then i gave it a bit of a tune up for him ... he now has boogy time!!

Do tell .....

I slept in and then watched tv and dreamed about fixing my VX.

went playing in a couple of maize fields for an upcoming event/gymkhana. Just testing the ground, sorting out event locations... and "assisting with drainage" at high revs accompanied with roosters.
Spent a few hours cleaning afterward.

just another setting that can be adjusted on the 12 valve VX fuel pump similar to the 24v models

Was supposed to be working at a working bee today building a rock climbing area just off the winch challenge track at the new private 4x4 park but son broke the fuel return line on the GQ when he was trying to fix an injector that had worked its way loose so, had a well deserved sleep in.He has just fired up the GQ after replacing the bits.
