Offroad-Express

well in the quest to hunt done this noise in the safari deiced to swap the rear diff 1 hr out 1 hour to replace , and nope still its with me,it consider may be a g/box noise now.
change back to the locker during the week

fixed the beast again ...........

Started to remove the stereo the surf came with, took up too much cargo space!

These all came out






Mounted an extinguisher in the back



And painted these



like this (it is my hunting truck )



Thats all for the surf this weekend, going goat culling on sunday

took the kids to the new adreniline forest in porirua, ended up having a crack it myself, 21 m off the ground standing on a wire rope that is wobbling all over the place is um interesting, or a log bridge that the logs rotate, hmm, recommend taking kids and yourself to it great 4 hrs of entertainment.

B.D.O yesterday which = not much will get done this weekend

pull the rear diff out of my Lux today,

crown and pinion are razor edged, fooked, so pulled the diff head out of the spare truck. driving around with a open diff with a different ratio,

no offroading for me till i can get me hands on another one.

Managed to crack one of my exhaust manifolds off on the truck today with it's leaking $500 rebuilt steering box, smacked my head with the surfboard, water pump shat itself in my other car.
Not the best start to the weekend so passenger now for a trip tomorrow.
Still waiting for my 8grand from the guy i recovered up ahipara last week too.

That shits never gonna get old. Did a full service on the patrol. Nothing like working under a shitty carport in full rain getting saturated for 3 hours.

rear locker diff back in, down to tranmission bearing problem now

Head up to South Head for a looksee.

Ever looked at a tyre that will work rather that something that could be better suited to a heavier pos?? Then you would not need a lawnmower to tow you out.........

haha trust me im not embarrassed at all id quite happily put this truck up against most other trucks on here lol I admit simexs are way better in mud but clay and grass you just cant beat these maxxis tyres.

More of a midweek achievement.

Got the wife a new car (after years of pestering)

1996 Nissan Skyline GTS25T coupe (her dream car)

now I wil start buying spare parts so eventually I will have enough to buy a RB30 Patrol and change it so its a RB30 block with 25det head and turbo and then have some fun with that.
