mines still looks like that too, on stands , no rear diff, no motor, all neatly wrapped in a tarp........ gettn a little peeved at working on it and not driving it

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

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 ..

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
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

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.

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!
