it was me that bought Stu's one nibbs .
picked it up and straight into shed onto axle stands and striped off the bits i didnt want on it .

want to do SOA and prob use old lux rears in the front or the ones in it but remove some leaves and do same in rear ..

maybe dont know how many leaves i can take out safely without them snapping .

cause it would look funny lowered onto swampers ..
any one in chch done a SOA on a rug ??

If you want to do coils, research it abit, then think of all the advantages, then sit down and do it properly. If you want it done fast, then stick with leaves.

too impatient to do coils ..

havnt got it dirty yet and got a couple of hunting trips coming up soon so want to get it back on the road asa funds allow...

yeh it is just go out to berrick and turn up shaws road. theres a side track on the right on the way up that doesnt have wire/gate across it go down that. the trak then hooks off that to the left. follow it to the end then turn right and follow your nose allong the main forestery road, till it cums to a t intersection take a left there and just follow your nose from there the trak runs along the side of the road out to mahinerangi. wot date you going i may be keen to tag along
