Offroad-Express

Well I will kick this one off.
Rear wheels off and handbrake clean time before WOF. Only time it works properly typical land cruiser....
Piston and seal change on one of the rear calipers, changed the other a few months back after a pad change and when the piston was pushed back the corroded area on the piston ended up in the seal area.. Leaked like a sieve.
Other one was fine, but was going to change it anyhow...
Its starting to go so good timing...
Also clean the last of the mud and silt out from Stadia...

went up to the night run at woodhill,weather was alot better than last time and was surprisingly dry up there,still managed to find some mud not as many trucks this time but still a good turn out,everyone seemed to have a good time and we all drove out i one peace,picked up a few dents and scratches but nothing major,all in all another good night look forward to the next one.

Testing the flex to see if the 33" Silverstone's will fit...
They should do... But if not... bring on the body lift...

Well decided at about 1pm that it was a good idea to suggest to my flatmate that we should take his hack to the woodhill night run, so we went and got my tyres fitted to the rims, put a battery in, gave it a quick bit of loving and installed my 37" led light bar

Was well worth it, had a blast. Cant wait for the next one.

just did some little bits and pieces to the Moo.
some cowboy electrics sorted out and plotting the next repairs to get done.
would have liked to sorted out the glow plug timing issue but ran out of time

I also went to Woodhill Night run and tried out my 32" Simex, also gave the new winchbar and winch a good test also had my 40" Light bar on.

Sorry for the quality of the night photo's they are not very good from my phone.

Cheers

I didn't go and do the woodhill Got no lights but did go out today for a play in the Inagural round of the Northland 4x4 series. Hopefully will get off the ground basically an interclub for shiney trucks. Although quite a few club trucks there as well today for this round. Wife is spitting she zeroed every hazard is still lost to me by 0.21 of a point. Dam she's got a good co-driver

Hi mate,

They are Filthy 4x4 brand...


I agree the LED's are the way to go. The drive home with the factory candles wasnt quite as fun though

Cheers

Took truck out for a small small hoon!

As we always seem to take soooo much crap camping I decided it time to own a trailer.

Folding the guards tomorrow then it's booked in to be dipped next week.

Moved the surf to the shed today, turns out alternator is not charging so now have a dead battery to charge down at stinkies Was fun driving it after 7 months!

Bought a rolling rangie to wreck out and use the parts on the landy. Might need some help picking that one up this week

thats mine, need to get some proper comparisons out in the bush.

bought a new 4wd or more Awd, and boy is it fun to drive

Finally starting to get over being sick, antibiotics have started to work been in the house 4 weeks now and the little 10month old has just started to get it so another couple of weeks and we should all the in the clear.

I didnt even get to touch the Safari over the weekend but I did buy a car to tidy up and maybe sell on depends on if the wife likes it to much and wants to keep it haha.

Went out to The Farm in the weekend, they have been really busy out there, they have made a whole new track, made a new bridge on the White Gate track, and filled in the massive holes in the track. Got som pics, but having trouble uploading them.

The new track:










The new bridge:



Mucking around in a creek:





And then I went and played in the mud, good fun!

It's not really the weekend...but my weekends are Mondays. From herein I'm officially renaming 'Monday Mud-Days' haha. I spend way too much time out at Muriwai in my truck....so i decided to head out to Thompsons Track to see what all the fuss is about. It was nice and dry...so I was fairly confident (from what I'd heard) that I could make it up the Te Aroha side on my own. I did! It was fun as. Almost not muddy enough. Helped out some dudes in a full difflocked landcruiser on 35s out of a hole. We tried pulling forwards...winching forwards....before finally getting them out after ten or so tries backwards! A good day all in all. Mud all over my (shared) driveway! haha.
Alex.
