Offroad-Express

Went for an explore, went through some of the paper roads up here in whangarei in the surf




Then went and tested the pitiful flex lol




And then in a random act of boredom removed the sidesteps and rear bumper!

Now just got to remove that towbar

lets see wont did we do this weekend.

went for a drive with vvilly down the river, great trip, even if i had to winch out 1 and then tow him home

i hope the surf is going again today

did a club run thru a bit of back land thru some sand tracks, sat in the passenger seat with safaripete! started at 430pm and aired up at 130am






rotadogg in the trails truck (ps cheers for the drive dogg!)


Muzas primo as safari- i must say he has built a very capable 4x4, and was very impressed with his BFG KM2s in the sand

Not just hot rods

Passed you guys at the car show on my way to Muriwai Beach. Had a good day swimming and playing on the beach. Came to drive off the beach, found a stranded Bighorn halfway. Stopped and asked if he need a snatch?
In broken english he replyed, "no, we ok".
Looking at all the trucks and boats, jetskis left on the beach, with the tide comin in fast, I went back and draged his sorry arse out of the track. Just after we made it to the carpark a couple of hiluxs towing trailers came through. They didn't have the chioce of stopping to avoid this guy
Others in the carpark came up and said he had refused help and how did i get him to follow me?
"Easy" I said, "I didn't give him a choice, just jumped out put rope on him, and drove away "
Cheers,

been to napier and back wandered knee deep in a steam brought home a dozen fossils fron NZ's early past 75 million old wood fragments, seashells, and other unknown matter, has to one of my best long weekends ever

since i was on my lonesome decided to head over to Baylys Beach on Sunday .. took a nice leisurely drive down the beach to the lighthouse, wandered up to the top ..looked at the view then drove all the way back up the beach to Aranga then up though the waipoua state forest to Kaikohe and then down the back road through Twin bridges and home.

Hmm. Did post hol's maintenance around the house, including a busted pipe that leaked while we was away

What I didn't do. I didn't get stuck with a broken winch. Saved me nearly 3 grand

And therefore using my wife's logic you are now aloud to spend the $3K that you saved

yusss

Edit: Didn't work

Did a Woodhill patrol, only to find it was double booked.
Rodger let us in for a play anyway...
And towards the end of the day my brakes went soft....
Discovered an almost ruptured brake line between chassis and body below master cylinder.
Think they were stretched when I tried to climb a bumpy uphill section at full noise.
Got new and longer hoses and while I was at it, did the master cylinder.
Now its all good.....
