And what did you do????
I have broken the starter chord for the weedeater...
Went off road with the lawn mower and got bogged.
Needed to operate its multi point lift device to compensate for wheel sinkage.
Note: no cert or authority card required... Off road use only.
Tried to tread lightly but failed....Size 8 gumboot marks all over the lawn

tested the flex on work forkliftfound a soft bit in some gravel and got it stuck
going to do some welding on the pajero today.

garrett turbo has differant exhaust pattern, trying to draw up new flange for laser cut people, need to construt new oilfeed flange as well

Got called into work 3 times, can't get into the parts room. Wasted like 6 hours on this mint wellington day.

welded up stud holes in a rim, re drilled the holes so they round (rim came loose), refit tire to beadlock rim. made a steering joint out of 4140 for a mate,

Went the nz police college and drove their skid car around the track, cop car, funny feeling sitting next to a cop, in a cop car and being told to boot it to slide it around the track, much fun!!!

tomorrow looks like welding up some side bars for another mate.

cheers

Cheers,

Well I had to go out to new lyn to install a counter act rust thing in a guys zuk. For got something so had to come home. Once home I heard a knocking noise from the engine so I had a look and 4 of the 5 bolts holding the crank pulley on had gone and the 5th was loose. Glad it didn't fall off on the motorway.

Found one bolt on the drive. Put some new bolts in temporary until I can get some better ones. When I pulled the last one out it snapped, and one of the new ones snapped too. But managed to get them out with out too much fuss.

So fairly average day

forgot to mention new motor in foreground is for my other Lux 2.8 turbo.Should go better than 2.4 .

Great day.

dam thats a good price, there my favouite hilux

Went on that muriwai run first time really taking out the paj with a club, was mint as day

wishing i had gone up with you guys now . but prior commitments tho you know how it goes . looks like it was a great day!!!

went and had a look at a safari for tga_4x4, save the 5 hour drive encase it was a lemon . geez tho what a nice tidy well looked after truck. would have brought it my self if i didn't have the mrs to answer to lol. good buy mate

worked,finished work, drove to Ruapehu, cranked my Skate Banana in the lush deep Pow with zero vis, love the Lib!! then drove home and slept for 15hr now im back at work... might go again on thursday...

More of a tonight achievement got a call after work, im stuck in a creek can u pull me out so I asked the question "do i need to fit the big tyres or just leave the little ones it?" Was told nah just bring the little ones you'll be right. Got there to find 2 zuks stuck in a creek.

There was no way in hell i was going to get one of them out but after a hr i managed to get the other one out with the bighorn getting a bit of a beating for most of the recovery she started to heat up and develop a ticking noise lucky once it cooled off it went away. Never heard that before so paniced a bit but one of the guys was quite knowledgable and he said not to worry.

Next time i will just fit the big tyres as it would have made life easier on t the bighorn.

Also they mentioned it was shooting flames out the exhaust so still running rich and need to get that sorted. Hope that not bad doing that.

Not a huge "achievment" but figured I should put it somewhere lol, sold the ute and bought an immaculate, low km "new" daily... 22 years old and just a tickle over 100kms on the clock
