Offroad-Express

got to pull headlights off clean inside them they have a tide mark, just to keep wof guys happy

I've been battling away with the high-mount alternator install in the Lada - man it's hard! Oh well, it'll be worth it in the end

I over heated my 2.4 looks like the engine swap will be coming sooner then later..... best i have a look at it today...

Disassembled the hub end of my PTO winch yesterday, all the grease had gone hard, got some spare sear pins and dicovered my left front axle seal is leaking, that will be my next job.

Got my winch installed in with the solenoid mounted under the hood...

Testing it out next weekend...

Fingers crossed i got everything right...





P.S. I now need a winch cover...
(no to mention lift & tires)

Anyone keen for a little play at murawai tomorrow? 021 1000 996 - Joseph

Went on a plane thingy with propellors to shakytown ..... nice drive back to picton tomorrow

Replaced the fuse box to accept "blade" type fuses. Replaced tail lights with LED submersible units. Just need to sort the flasher unit so it can cope with the reduced load...

Getting closer to being ready to get the once over for VIN and WOF etc..

Photos being worked on.

Finally got the guts to do the camel cut. Had to get new tyres so ended up with 31/10.5/15's on steel rims. Had a look at a Discovery Camel took measurements and pics, went home took a deep breath then started.Pics at site below as have trouble posting them here.

beach or jeep park? culd be keen

took the tribe for a full day doing actual 4x4ing , did a tag a long from Dannivirke to Herbertville on the coast. was a long day many miles of off road covered! (pics to follow)

didnt clean anything, change anything or mount anything..... hmmm is this in the wrong thread??

Ripped out miles of old spotlight wiring and switches.

Spent night in rangitata will get photos up some time awesome hot weather plenty of bangs thank god for bar work

Took the new JT2's for a wee road trip. Chch to Taipo Hut for Fri night. Sat up to Charleston and into Tailings Track . 2 playdoh's minor panel dings. 80 series winched all last 1/2 k cause blew frnt diff. And would you believe the landrover didnt break or bend anything (Put about 5000km wear on the silverstones with some bent 8 noise action up the boulder climb out of the last creek tho ) Great day.
Got a bit tired on Sun - drove to bottom of Slab Hill, walked it, talked shit, got scared (it was even totally dry but that is a hell deep trench now and my rims don't offset out past body), turned round and went home.

@ chop; Cheers - Repco (ripco) had none on stock. Got a Tridon one from Supercheap for $19 and it works a treat - better than when I did the same mod on my last truck.

Also fitted new flexi flares to the rear guards, and spent this evening studying up on WOF requirements.

Interesting how 2-stroke and rotary engines get special smoke rules but not for diesels. Hmmm

Ripped my flasher unit apart and changed the flash rate with a 50c part

thought i'd give the winch a service. opened it up and it still like new inside. even after numerous dunkings.stoked with the way its sealed up

Also fitted hook spring so can see when winch rope is in.Speacilly as it seems to have a bit of over run.just used half a leaf spring

got any more pics badnuz? i was on this trip to. had a ball!

GF took all our pics, will check later see if she has any more what do you drive?

spent saturday with all the young ravers at Jim Beam Homegrown

sunday was the day I decided to swap out the rear diff in the 80 and finish off the job after work tonight by attempting to get the stoooopid 80 handbrake to work, I failed and those handbrakes still suck heaps










Inside this hub is the worlds most stupid handbrake design

^^^^ your not bloody wrong there.Like to make the bafoon that desgined them work on them

Spent the whole weekend in low range (to prevent me from speeding)
Parked quite a few thousand cars in fields, 25 odd jump starts and relocated half a dozen wrongly parked cars. Toasted my Runva.
Had a small observation; if you drag a car fast enough on wet grass, you can turn quick and sent them out on the whip like seabiscuit
Saw a truck load of camel toes
Heaps of young talent.
3 day music festivals are full on when it rains. Shear dresses become see-through when wet with HID's
Great weekend, me thinks.
Cheers,

Hehe see through dresses=

Saturday Pegged hazxards for Club champs
Sunday Fell over on said hazards
Monday went to Auckland to pickup spare diff heads (well only one's a spare the other is needed) Why are spider gears so soft?
