Going to wash the buggy after last weekends Fund Raiser Replace the tyre on the Truck that has got a bulge in the sidewall score Brownie Points with the wife by going Grocery shopping and NOT PUTTING anything in the trolley Then tomorrow morning off to the Extreme 4WD park for the Top Half Fun Rally

Spent Saturday up at the Extreme park (again) all the winch challenge stages have been set and driven/winched ,never seen it so dry up there but still found quite a few truck stopping mud holes had a look at some of the stages that had been set for todays fun rally and all i can say is you guys must be nuts

ute chop/cab piece all done, bogging and primeing today, hopefully some pics tonight, will be looking at rust repairs and bob tail next couple weeks

Went for a look up thompsons track for the first time
gotta say "great track" Bulldozer been through and almost to the top so bit of a boring drive apart from the odd loose boulder to dodge
Great play areas off the side then went a wee way over the katikati side (about 4 or 5 bogs) then ran out of time
Will be back to do it properly now we know what we are in for

questioning the bobtail now, with the way ive done the ute chop its looking perfectly proportioned, (i always thort these lookd a little long with the canopy removed) still tossing up the bob tail or doing the wellside tailgate convesion like whats seen on pirate, that way the chassis is the lowest point, not the body work, least that way ya can drive hard off banks and only smack tha chassis

Went hunting at Whirinaki. Rolled the Prado. No Deer. No pigs.

F@^&!

But had a pretty good time anyway.

Bugger ...... much damage?

So this just bolts onto an unmodified surf body? If so...are you going to take a mold and possibly sell me one?

Na, came out extremely well actually just a couple of dings and the plastic piece in the middle around the gearstick is smashed cuz my mate fell on it. But nothing major, didn't even crack the monsoons.

haha, i was waiting for someone to say that, yep fits to standard surf, but then if i did that mine wouldnt be the only one like it now then would it..
I could but honestly even if it was worth my time n effort i would have to pass.. so friken over using fibreglass... it was a piece of piss to do though..

Did some skids in The 50 at the weekend.

Took it to a Vintage Fun Rally, cool to see some MB Jeeps, Series 1 Landy's, and of course a couple of us Zook nut's in our old clunkers























Good day out, plenty of old engine's with worn rings pumping out smoke, lots of smiles and a bit of sun burn.

The 50 spat a gearbox mount of all things, I took two spare rear axles so naturally it wasn't going to break on of those

Red neck Fifiy , needs hay bails.


Army style. Watch out for the Ariel.

Was an awesome day , plenty of smoke , burning oil and old trucks.
leaking gear box oil seal was my only carnage.

So Chris, that is an interesting bunch of vehicles. Where was that and was it a Kiwi4x4 event?

Just been on to the website but couldn't much about what the club has been up to.
