[Filthy4x4]

Well arrived back home last night after an awesome 3 week trip to Thailand and Malaysia with the mrs.

Went to a few 4wd shops and some fabrication shops in Thailand







Got taken for a drive in this, goes wicked and was one of the nicest handling and smoothest 4wds ive ever been in...

[Filthy4x4]

Then went over to Malaysia for some little 4wd event that they had on...



We rolled out in a 120 truck police escorted convoy which was awesome!

Also bumped into this guy:



I think hes some kind of local celebrity or something

Man, if you get time, do a bit of a write up and throw in some pics, there will be heaps of folks that would love to hear about that adventure into the rain forest

One vote from me for a trip report

[Filthy4x4]

Yeah i will try do one, just attempting to wade through the 50GB of photos and videos we managed to collect

Pissing down up here in the north, might go find some mud to play in tomorrow...

Not sure where you are It has been pissing down most of day in Pukenui, Water Tank is well and truly full which is always handy.

Threw the front lift springs in the 185 then modified the gaurds/flares to take the 33 muds. no rubbing during onroad driving but some slight rubbing offroad but happy with the result looks much tougher now , just need to buy some rear springs now

And an articulation shot next to nothing in the front but the back works sell for standard.

Went for a blast at woodhill today with datsunsafari and mudtroll, had an awesome day out. Shame its closing down for the summer.

some good weekend shots popping up

Unfortunately I don't have any But I have made progress on getting cert which leads to hopefully some weekend action shots Last part of cert done today, welding caps on my side bars so they don't cookie cutter someone. I also did the old surf torque converter lockup switch mod, works wicked Should have done it 7 years ago!!! It's going to be a trip to auckland in the surf I'm looking forward to finally

Finally pulled finger and got a WOF.

Now to fit the Detroit Locker and the 4.3s for some summer fun...

Look out for me when I inevitably get suck (because I've broken a delicate Lada axle or more likely because I haven't 4x4ed for several years) around Chch over xmas and don't know any locals to give me a tow

Perhaps if you remounted the spare wheels somewhere better you won't get stuck so much..
