Offroad-Express

Hi all,

Put up some new forums on the site.

Hunting, fishing and motorbike, these are for those of you on here that have multiple interests/hobby's and wish to talk with each other on those various other hobbies that us as 4wders commonly share.

If you think the need any more added to them please tell me, as I am neither a hunter nor a fisherman and the biggest noob out there when it comes to motorbikes

Mike

cheers mate

Great move Mike, well done and my congratulations.
Many of us are big outdoor users, more than just 4WD
In my case the 4WD vehicle is just the means to get you there!
Believe me there is more places to get in a 4WD than anything else on the Planet, (well maybe a chopper!) So you have opened up a whole new dimension. Thanks
Cheers
Paul

Fixed it for ya

Great work mike.

I have a request for a section. Seeing as this site is becoming the hub of all things offroading related in New Zealand I would like to see a section devoted to offroad racers, in a very broad sense incorporating odessys, buggys, race trucks, trials trucks etc.

after all it's not called 4wdexpress is it.

here is some inspiration:

I'd really like to see people post up pics of their trials trucks, offroad buggys, chassis designs, build ups etc etc.

WHO'S WITH ME?

i would also be keen to see what people are building for all sorts off off road stuff,cheers

how cool... love one of these too, one day... have to be a twin seater to take my lad out though.... i'd like to make something a bit different to the norm though.. light and good power to weight ratio like a bridgeported rotary maybe? small motor with unlimited revvin'!

oh yeah,

i'm in..

Damm bloody mean coil overs on that thing

I'm in Nib, I used to make them from 4wheelers when I was younger .... still got all the bits to make a 4wd version with a YZ490 motor think the olds might still have the plans for the chassi I was gona make .... I should ask next time I'm talking to them

My first one was made from two ATC's got given one and the other cost me $80 hell of a lota fun you could even wheel stand it up hills

If your interested I think there is a odessy club down your way I stumbled accross it a few years ago

Cheers Reece

bridge port rotary? wash your mouth out niblik

NIBB's, Why not build up a 40series,alter all the chassie, springs steering, tub, etc, etc, take out the old oil burner and fit in a GTR 2.6 twin turbo . May be 39" tyres.

PINK WOULD BE A GOOD COLOUR.

CHEEKY FITZY.

Yeah baby...... ^^^What he said^^^

peripheral port 10a with a couple of driers for puff...

Small light and screaming

bugger all that stay nice and light and simple .... an open class motoX motor gearbox etc all in one nice light package

Running a rota means a car box with all the space issues or you go VW and step everything up in weight and size

Cheers Reece

I used to own a offroad buggy, and red_zuki still has his. open the forum i say

more inspiration?

sounds like a good forum, just need to know what forum areas to put in, tried having a search around but couldnt find any offroad racing forums to get ideas off. Will try and get it up soon as.

WHO'S WITH ME?

I've had a look around but cant find any layouts(forum categories) for this class of offroading. I need some forum names. I'm flat out at the moment so if you can come up with the forum names I'm really happy to put them up.

Mike

you could possibly have a conmpetition section, with sub sections like......

trials

winch challenges

off road racing

quad racing (could go into motorbikes)

buggies (which could possibly go into m/bikes too, as most are powered by a bike engine)


and anything else that people may suggest

Sh*t I'm already confused enough with 50+ categories

Sadam_Husain wrote:Sh*t I'm already confused enough with 50+ categories

come on thats a bit of an exaggeration - there definitely is no more than 45 at the moment

would be cool to group those sort of posts though as they do get mixed up in the 4wd section and after being out on the bike a little lately I dont have a one track 4wd mind anymore and I'm guessing a lot of people (yes 4wders are people to ) out there are probably the same or have never been "nothing but 4wds"

Mike

maybe its got me so confused I cant even count properly anymore

lesser catagories with more sub folders or sub groups or something would make it much easier for us computer challenged people

to me its like trying to read the telephone book

Yeah sub categories would be good but unfortunately this forum doesnt handle it. the sections are as good as it gets with the forum categories listed under them and then the different threads contained with in each. One more level would do just nicely. Perhaps the new forums might

was good while it lasted, but it didn't seem to last very long

seems like everyone is still more interested in the 4x4 chat than hunting and fishing and motorbikes
