Offroad-Express

Thought I better put a post in here.

My name is Greg and I live in good ol ChCh.

I am pretty new to 4x4'ing - my only previous 4x4 was a Niva - which went terrible on road and surprisingly well off road.

I recently purchased a `86 Pajero SWB 2.5D turbo. It is currently stock and sitting on standard 29" AT tyres. Looking at 50mm body lift and tad bigger tyres :twisted::twisted::twisted:.

Unfortunately my 4x4 runs an open diff and unless i win lotto I cant see myself upgrading this in the near future.

Anyway just really wanted to say thanks for all your help / input so far

after 11 posts dont think your allowed to post as a new member anymore

make sure you get out with some of those other ChCh guys for a few trips, its always safer and more fun in numbers :thumright:

welcome, I hope your getting out and playing in the mud, seems theres lots at the moment, let us no how you go with your truck and there's always a few of us with the more standard trucks keen for a trip, groups are the way to go save's me always getting out the spade at 2 in the morning which is happening more and more..

Welcome man. Don't worry about having open diffs. I'm still running opens in mine until later this year and it goes most places I need to go and more.

welcome. I havn't got lockers either i just left foot brake a little bit.

otherwise known as the maori locker. it works bloody well. if you get out with the chch boys get them to teach you the left foot braking technique, its well worth knowing.
