hey man, my mum has a map book or all the unformed roads in the Rodney area, and we have a key to some roads too. So I can organise a trip some time soon.

Bearing in mind I will be in my mums Pajero as my zuk is broken. Let me know. some pretty neat roads and tracks and heaps that need exploring too.

ahh I will sort out the when soon. will be is say a couple of weeks? gives people time to sort out their trucks. Me included to maybe.

let me know when you will be ready. It won't be very tough and will be a bit of road driving but you will probably get to see some cool scenery with which you don't usually see.

and yea its a open invite

More like whats it not doing.... Not engaging 4wd. it isnt the transfer case so its either hubs or diff. no weird noises when its in 2wd or 4wd and i dont want to start pulling stuff apart and then not being able to move it. (drives fine in 2wd) just dont have the money at the moment to pay a mechanic 70odd dollars an hour.

A translation of that is:

How does the 12th of march sound? I know it's a Saturday, but my Brother is busy Sunday. So it depends. If that's a problem, the 13th will be fine.

Well managed to find a complete front diff and driveshaft today, and it was offered to me for $200 so I took it. Least tomorrow I can replace the broken one and now I have a spare diff.

Means I got a good vehicle for unformed road recceing in a couple of weeks. well better than a standard LWB Pajero

Also how do people think the 12th of march sounds? It can be an open invite but a small club fee will apply.

Let me know
Cheers
