Hey from Dunedin

Post by 80series »

Hey,

Fairly new to 4wding, had a 2l-t surf before this, which had the usual 2l-t problems, overheating etc etc. So traded up to a 1991 80 Series 4.2 TD, didn't really have a clue when I was buying it, but ended up with the front and rear factory lockers! Didn't even realise when I bought it. No major mods yet just the later model alloys and 275 BFG Ats. Looking at a lift kit at the moment but, not sure what to got with, both in terms of size and manufacturer.

I'm 23, and super keen to get into some 4wding but have been hesitant to go out by myself, as last time it ended up with me getting stuck in the middle of a river (the was in the old Surf tho), so if anyones keen to show me some tracks around Dunners I'd be in.

Anyway thats me,

Thanks
Dave

Giday,

I live in Dunners normally but im up in Northand for the Summer.

Me and my mate have Terranos and we get them offrd a bit, we know off a few tracks that both we have done and a few others we planing on doing - most a over Central ways. plus we know of a few every close to the city play areas we one proberbly shouldnt go but they a still good for a few hours fun.

I know a few other dunners guys who would also be keen, so Il be keen to try sort out a mission once I back down mid Feb,

Cheers
