Offroad-Express

Hey guys didnt really know where to put this.

I wanna find out where some new tracks are round west auckland/shore/coast area. Im keen for anything little fun ones or full on tracks...

Ive heard there is quite a fun one at the end of enterprise road in henderson? Anyone been there?

MY mate also found a fun little bog area in the waitaks somewhere.

hey man, my mum has a map book or all the unformed roads in the Rodney area, and we have a key to some roads too. So I can organise a trip some time soon.

Bearing in mind I will be in my mums Pajero as my zuk is broken. Let me know. some pretty neat roads and tracks and heaps that need exploring too.

Oh yea sweet dude sounds like a bit of a plan.

I just gotta sus the truck out make sure everything is mint usual story

I'd be keen to get in on this too, if there an open invite.

Cheers

Lincolin, sounds like you got a reccey team

Hey lincoln.. Put my name down im keen.. When and where..?

Cheers,
Tu.

ahh I will sort out the when soon. will be is say a couple of weeks? gives people time to sort out their trucks. Me included to maybe.

let me know when you will be ready. It won't be very tough and will be a bit of road driving but you will probably get to see some cool scenery with which you don't usually see.

and yea its a open invite

That should be sweet with me. Im trying to sus out most of the parts for my truck today.

Sounds good to me too. just need to get a mechanic to look at the front end of the landy and figure out whats wrong with it because i cant...

Whats it doing?

More like whats it not doing.... Not engaging 4wd. it isnt the transfer case so its either hubs or diff. no weird noises when its in 2wd or 4wd and i dont want to start pulling stuff apart and then not being able to move it. (drives fine in 2wd) just dont have the money at the moment to pay a mechanic 70odd dollars an hour.

How does 12th march sound?i know isn't a sat but my brother is busy Sunday. So depends. If not the 13th will be fine

A translation of that is:

How does the 12th of march sound? I know it's a Saturday, but my Brother is busy Sunday. So it depends. If that's a problem, the 13th will be fine.

Have you checked the wiring and fuses etc?

Not every 4wd has unreliable electric shift
Nothing electric about his series 2 Landy

I had a feeling it was all manual dont mind me I love the electric system

I shall be quiet and go sit in the corner

haha i hate electrics. thats why i like landies! 6 fuses for the whole thing. can probably run it on less. they just have issues (occasionally) with a few things.

Where do you live? I might be able to have a look at it.

Thanks for the offer but already found out what the issue is thanks to sibainmud. much simpler then it could have been so now iv just got to source parts.

cheers

Well thats good then. always better if it is more simple.

What was the problem?

Broken stub shaft

Cheers,

Well managed to find a complete front diff and driveshaft today, and it was offered to me for $200 so I took it. Least tomorrow I can replace the broken one and now I have a spare diff.

Means I got a good vehicle for unformed road recceing in a couple of weeks. well better than a standard LWB Pajero

Also how do people think the 12th of march sounds? It can be an open invite but a small club fee will apply.

Let me know
Cheers

Lincoln

12th sounds good.... possibly. think iv found the parts i need, so just need to go check them out to make sure.

haha, fair enough. Well i will put a post up in coming runs then. Will do a few 'old' unformed roads then try find some new ones.

Hey Lincoln,
I could be keen for a trundle around. Will have to check with the 'boss'.

I might be keen to come along too if there's a spare space...

Yeah, there's still heaps of spaces left.

All are welcome.
