i once had a car off the road for over 2 years. Now i realise a slightly less modified car means i can actually drive it more and work on it less. Working on your car suxs! I prefer driving it

mine seems to be constantly in that state. I have driven it a handful of times this year. Really getting sick of it, would love to have a reliable rig again

Post by **bubs** » Mon Oct 20, 2003 9:10 am

i am beginning to know how you feel, my 82 project was going real slow while i still had a driver (4 runner), but now it sucks and i have only been with out a month

so i have pulled my finger out and looks where it sits as of 6:30pm last night

My Zuk has been wheeling for about the 4th or 5th time in the past 12 months due to busted parts or busted something or worn out something or other .. still dont have rear brakes working right .. but had fun saturday anyways ..

Post by **MissDrew** » Mon Oct 20, 2003 6:25 pm

Ya just replacing the front springs as the ones that were in it were about 3 years old and had done a lot of hard work and been bent and straightened about 10 times. But the new pair of springs you can see on the floor have to go back as the bone heads that made em up for me stuffed up and made the eyes to big :bad-words:

Then I am not only fitting one box but 2 as this way I`ll have twin 240v motors and it will go 4 times quicker then the 2.8

there is a space in my heart for all you guys that have hardly been out wheeling due to your rig being off the road, i get withdrawal symptoms when i miss a week, so far i have missed 2 weeks.

my sympathy goes out to you all

I drove it to Melbounre a couple of weeks ago so I had to put the Muddies back on it and I have just been to lazy to put the muddies back on the cruiser and the swampers back on the lux :roll:

But will be doing so soon.

Sorry guys - last 12 weekends in a row - out, about and yep all is good.

Just installed a snorkel and have a winch biatch with a big stick to test waterholes first!!! Saves the repair bill

Guts - that pic reminds me of my 47 ute - seemed to stay in teh shed and was scared of tracks!!!

2.8 hilux wins hands down!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! So dont even start about how slow your 4.2 pootrol is!!! Johnboy

Post by **srowlandson** » Wed Oct 22, 2003 11:01 pm

got busted 2 days after picking up Prado :(

other fines dated back to Hilux, Patrol and Corolla, i find i do 10-15 over the limit all the time, hence no licence,

It is VERY hard to keep UNDER the Limit ALL the time.

yeah i had the no wheeling blues for ages. after i flipped my pathy, i never went bush in it again. then when i got my old yellow zook it was torn down and chopped up straight away so i never got to drive it much. but i'm it's all good. i've learnt that it's better to be out wheeling a stock fourby than not wheeling a modified one.

Post by **dumbdunce** » Wed Oct 22, 2003 11:22 pm

feel the love!

don't worry spewy you're not the only one, I got done on the weekend coming back from canberra doing 127 in the death datto, but he only did me for 0-15 over so I wasn't too upset. think I'm down to 2 points again, will have to behave for a couple of years.

can't you do that trick where you get a NSW and a VIC license? double the points double the fun!
