Offroad-Express

I will start

Wife and daughter are away at the moment soo got a decent start on my snorkel only to find the pipe I have is 3.5inch not 3 inch so have to do all I can. (Am taking photos so I can do a build thread)

Sold the Mitsi as well ahhhh gota luv quick sales. and over $2k profit.

Got up to find my Downhill bike was stolen overnight.

'09 Iron Horse Yakuza Kumicho. Stolen from Green Island, Dunedin.
Reward offered.

Went out and set up 20 courses for our local club competition, had 4 others turn up to help, got through them pritty quickly despite the nissan's needing recovery during the setup!!

Nice mix of up/down hills, mud bog's, creek crossing and sidlings! Should be a good day tomorrow! I'll try to get some pic's for you all...

Dogg.

Another day sorting tracks for Superwinch Tuff Truck Challenge.
Picked up a few more wrinckles on the "Racing Rasin", that'll teach me for using the truck for a chainsaw
Good day. Footage to follow this evening
Cheers,

spent a few hours under the 80 doing some exhuast work

Yes a succuessful day at Woodhill, no breakages during the day and the truck went great and drove almost everything well the Toyota Hilux that was with me did anyway. So in all it was one of the better days up there.


Also there are some new tracks at Woodhill 4WDrive park most of them are clay which will be interesting in the winter time and there is a wicked down hill, so check them out.

I will post some footage as soon as I get it.

Cheers.

I replaced the master cylinder on the truck and trying to get the starter motor out, considering just burning the truck where it lies bloody need flexible childs hands to get the bloody thing off

Cant wait to get it running again til next time i break something anyway

Still havnt got round to doing the cruiser oil but will tomorrow.

Fixed cracked breather hose on the petrol tank of the landy, last owner had just used cheap plastic hose so no wonder it didnt last.

also figured out whats up with the front of the landy, clean break of the stub shaft. Many thanks to simon (sibainmud) for helping me and for giving me some ideas on where to put the second battery. Your help was much appreciated.

See i told you it was those fuses

Thats a solid effort though

Caught up on some odd jobs around the house.
Put in some coils in the rear of the Prado... Changed from OME 80 series (220lb and too bouncy) to some custom King Springs donated to me by Jeremy.(Thanks mate !)
They make all the difference.
Trying to find a spot to mount the new / old PRS radio.
Made a donation to the Chch earthquake appeal. (Not much we can do from up here, but thinking of you all)

Well I'm sure if there were workers around they would be pleased you were slowed down. And if it seems there weren't any, how do you know?

You would've still been breaking the limit had it been a 100km/h zone

I have another 4 months till I get mine back - it sucks.

As for the weekend, spent sat night in Taupo with my old man who got to meet my son for the first time.

Taupo really put it on weather wise - if there was more industry type work I would move down there

Went out today for a play (thanks to meatc for letting us tag along). Good day out, got a couple of pictures and a few videos that I might put up on youtube later on.

Had nice little sunday drive round some classic northland farm land with the BOI club. First drive of the truck since October .

Plenty of fun, no damage (although my previously terminaly ill auto is now ready for the scrap heap). Drove most things except the stuff that we did just for an excuse to get the winch out, which was never going to be driven.

oh yeah got in the passenger seat of a truck to go round the undrivable winch section and he promptly rolled on the gully entry after I had driven it no dramas

pics of our club cup today

























bigger size looks betterer

Yeah was an awesome day out. What are you talking about shiney? You have already scrached it and it hasen't even left the shed

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 and front driveshaft.

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

gave the buggy a paint job. next stop, trademe.
