Offroad-Express

Bought this as my daily hack about, old school beam axle lux, done a deal for the wheels and tyres (31's on 8 inch rims) going to get a bit of a paint touch up, a snorkel, a black canopy and that's about it...for now
2.4 diesel turbo
*stylz*

You could fix the saggy surf arse...
And then bigger exhaust for 2.4...
Plus snorkel for the unexpected...
Plus winch to pull out bogged Nissans...
Ok so the list gets huge

You really think your stop your self.......
You got modifications in your blodd.

My 2c by the way, put that spare hilux cab on it and get a 5l and chuck turbo gear on it

looks to be a real tidy truck in that pic. gota be stoked bout that.
does look to be bit saggy in the bum tho

cheers for that, this thing is just a good ol' school runabout and probably just staying on the tarmac
I've added the link below, it's what I use on bogged nissans, and is my offroad fun machine

Yep it's a typical middle aged girl and has a saggy bum, it's got a saggy front end as well
I've got plenty of rear springs to chuck in but no fronts...if anyone has a set of good fronts i'm keen

is there a way to tell a front leaf pack from other vehicles like the hiluxs?we may have a spare set up here in auckland but will be a bit of a shipping cost?will see what's in the stacks of leafs tomorrow for ya mate

all front hilux leaf packs are the same

oops,meant to say difference between surfs and hiluxs but all the same ae,ok will check for you in the morning mate

Got some front springs for it off a ln106, thanks very much to Josh (89surf) for organising the freight from Kaikoura

Going to chuck them in and some rears this weekend so should square it up nicely. Don't know if i'll keep it though now we've been red zoned I might force myself to finally spend on a nice 80 series
My wife now has the repaired Isuzu, plan was to keep this and the Isuzu and sell her car (96 Mitsi lancer) but Al and family are heading over for xmas / new year so they'll need a car so will re-acess our motoring needs after they leave and when the govt will pay us

Is up for sale, warrant runs out 28/12, REG till middle of next year.
Will need a couple of rust repairs i'd say (possibly) to get a new WOF.
Anyone interested
3G
If not it will go on TM with a start/reserve of 3G
Buying the wife a late model RAV 4 and having the Isuzu for myself so this is surplus

hmmmm

Haven't done the springs yet but have them here, as for pics, just the one but can take more, would prefer buyer to view due to age of it
cheers

The wheels are 15X8's with bridgestone duelers, heaps of tread, engine runs well, good clutch.
If you don't want the wheels and tyres on it I will do the vehicle for $2600 min with a set of standard rims with very good AT tyres,
it's a really good launching pad for someone wanting to get into offrading with a 5 speed, solid axle front end, and at a cheap price

What km's are on it? And is it auto or maunel?

About 320 thousand K's the , engine must've had some work at some point as these 2lt's don't last that long without
Manual

hey mate, how much for rims and tyres?
cheers

I also have a nice little Mitsubishi Lancer coming up for sale, it's being used by my sister and Al at the moment but will be sold after that.
It's a 1996 or 1997 4door metallic blue spoilers etc, 1600 twin cam VIE model, has only done 90,000K's was my wife's runabout but she now has a new car.

how much are you wonting for the lancer tim.

it's the same as this but in dark blue,
MIVEC Lancer MR
http://www.trademe.co.nz/motors/used-ca ... 528932.htm

think it will sell pretty easy for $4000 with the low k's it's an auto with tiptronic

The Bridgestones have been sold, now on a std set of wheels and tyres, Khumo A/t's with heaps of tread, so price is $2500

I can't believe this hasn't sold, I haven't even had a phone call , it's a steal....must be time of the year, plenty of txt's wanting to swap for this that and anything under the sun
I might put the reg on hold a stash it for a year or ten

Put it on the side of the road with 4sale sign in it, always sell better than on Tardme and with less tossers.

yet if it was a hilux ute you could stick 10 g on it with the same specs and still sell it. hilux utes are totally over priced. pisses me off when i need it for a quad and it wont fit in the back of (my) surf lol..

id definitely say time of year mate,id suggest to hang in there,let everyone get back from the holiday season and then try again.the is well worth the 2.5k you're asking.if i had the cash id buy it as a daily for myself and sell the hilux i got planned,couldn't complete that and put it on the road for 2.5k that's for sure

just out of curiosity how much did it cost to get down to you?you came up to auckland and drove down didn't you?i'd need to do the reverse

ok I'm back already.as you've said those motors don't last that long without some sort of work ,how does she drive?you're obviously reasonably happy with it?ie if circumstances were different would you be happy to hold onto her?and apart from that slight oil leak (have you spotted where from) any other issues with the motor?fuel pump etc is all good and not seeping?sorry bout all the questions but this maybe the answer to my problem so have gone from could be an option to this could seriously work out good

sorry Tim will get outta ya thread ....

oh cheers for that yeti,good to know what options i have available

was welly's, $80 for flight, $146 for ferry, half a tank of diesel.
Would've kept it but with the red zoning of our old place I decided a new car for the wife and the Isuzu for me was the better option

keep this 1 and sell me the 3rz 1
