Hi there from Hastings

Post by Ryanaugust »

Hey there, bit of a newbie here. Had a D22 4wd 3.0 Navara for a work vehicle previously - but being a work vehicle couldn't really do too much hard core off roading (well, depends who you talk to!!).

About six months ago I got my first decent 4wd of my own, a 1990 80 series VX 'cruiser.

Its nothing too extraordinary or highly modified but suits me fine as my daily driver and weekend toy. It has all Old Man Emu springs, shocks, sway bars etc , Aftermarket bar with 12,000lb winch, and 33" Maxxis Bighorns. I picked it up for a steal at only $6k - although she looked pretty rough at a glance ( it had typical Toyota sunburn), a quick $500 repaint over Xmas (thanks Chook) has her looking respectable again.

I have a few minor mods planned - Some Slider/Steps and a decent roof rack (found out Fletchers can supply oval shaped tube to cut wind noise down)

Hope to meet some of you out on the tracks over the winter!!

Cheers

Ryan

PS If anyone knows the whereabouts of a drivers A pillar grab handle give us a shout, ta!!
