Another newbie, with some knowledge

Hi All,
I'm Andy from Christchurch.
I have just purchased my second Terrano as the wife is pregnant with twins so the old 2 door Terrano just wasn't the best choice.
I set up the old 91 2 door nicely with manual hubs, 31-10.5-15 Hankooks, plus a snorkel for the air ram which made a great fuel and power difference.
I still have the 27 spline manual hubs if any one wants to swop to a 28 spline set.
I had a Suzuki SJ410 which went anywhere, apart from deep water, it turned into a boat in deep water so you had to open doors to let the water in rather than out. It is still the best performing 4wd I have ever seen / owned.
I reckon the key to setting up a good 4wd is to make the underside of the vehicle smooth to slide over objects such as rocks and fallen trees, and stopping water getting into gear oil, or dealing with it, like having a spare oil container settling water out of the oil while using the vehicle this week.
I am also a mechanic, so quite good on technical stuff but not so much electrical, but know the basics
Anyway that is me, hope to see you around
Cheers
