Offroad-Express

So iv been a member on here for a wee wile now and thought i may aswell intruduce myself
Im Ben a toolmaker from chch, no i do not make hammers and nut f**kers i make injection mould tools for a plastics company here in town programing and running cnc mills.
Anywho i got into 4x4 a cuple of years ago after purchasing a 94 kzn130 surf as a tow wagon and after testing the 4wd to see if it all worked fine i was hooked.

As you can see in pic I eventualy did the usual 2+2 lift and 33's but got sick of bending idler arms everytime i came within 10m of a small bump so i seen the light! i sold it and got a 84 fj40! all standard apart from my 33's i kept from my surf and a tjm winch bar that came with it

So thats me cheers.

Good base truck to start with a locker in the rear and pto fitted and you will have a mint as bush truck

I havent been on any trips with anyone but would like to join a club sometime and get out there more i like the looks of the west coast and upper south and i did take the scenic way to queenstown from dunedin once through the dunstan over sum hill and then through nevis valley i think wich was pretty kool but on some weekends u may catch me at either the waimak or ashley just trying out stuff as i havent had the 40 for very long but am very interested in going up worsely. will look forward to meeting any of you out there somewere sometime

welcome aboard m8 .if you want to join a club the north canterbury club goes to the coast quite a bit and many other places our meeting night is the 1st wensday of the month at 7pm woodend hotel,come along and introduce your self bud.

welcome along fellow fawdy chap...

coolies on the truck ya pedal.. got anymore photo's of it? and what ya planning on doin to her?

as for trips, just keep an eye out on here, plenty of trips being thrown around from time to time or as ya mentioned, jump into a club if thats your thing..

so yeah, get with the 40 porn..

Cheers for that ill have to come up and do that sometime and ill put some more pics up when i get them off the camera. atm i dont have big plans as its my daily but a winch and a locker will do me fine i think and it already has disks up front and lsd at back and running lpg means the gas bill for the 2f insnt that bad however i have a 1kz-te sitting in the garage and with a mechanical pump and a r151 from a kzj70/78 it could just work in the 40

4x4ing is a bit far from the accuracy of making moulds eh... Good to see another tooly on the site.

Cheers,
