Offroad-Express

Gidday everyone new to ORE as of today so thought a do a little intro..
my names Nick I live, work and play in around Auckland and
have done a bit of 4WDing the past and loved it.
I want to get back into it this year but need some feedback/help on my 4WD before I get out in the mud.
I need to stick to a tight budget for now so need to discuss some pros and cons about trucks.
I have been through a few different trucks in my time from Pajeros to Cherokees, FJ40s to 80 Seriers. At the moment I have a spare old 2.4LTE Surf IFS on my lawn it goes well for a surf but want to know if it will have enough grunt to turn the 33s I have in my shed earmarked for it any advice would be great.
I will also need to join up with some people "Clubs" to get out and about so would be keen for help there to.

Welcome Nick - always good to see another Aucklander on here!

Heaps and heaps of helpful information on here for anything and everything, and lots of Hilux stuff!

you will need to body lift (its the cheaper way) the surf 2" to make 33s fit then abit a panel work on the front with a sledge hammer to push the floor panel back a touch cut the plastic inner guard abit at the end of the day yep will push em round ok not great but will surprise you where it will go

Thanks for feed back. I am going to body lift it I have found heaps of info on it and it seems that a surf is pretty easy.
I ordered the kit today so I will be waiting by the letterbox..... Ive already WD40 the bolts!
