high_luxed

thanks mate first up yeh i was living around slacks creek area but moved to redlands that photo was a job site i was working on.

Not much atm bigger fuel tank life kit by tjm of 2 1/2 in 33.5 tyres extractors and 2 1/2 exhust. new paint job and badging other wise it is a standard 2.4 diesel for now... i was going to turbo it but i take it off road a bit so it is not worth it as she goes pretty much anywhere but some more ponies wouldnt hurt.

inside pretty stock for now just bucket seats and a dvd player... and new speakers

lol.......

if anyone is keen for a 4x4 cruise next month somewhere let me know..

HOON69

we'll have plenty on in the next few weeks and beyond

Im planning many a trip

Ormeau with the guys

reedy Creek

CityView

Kuraby

Beenleigh

just to name a few,all this will have tracks etc for everyone that way anyone is welcome (ormeau is sketchy when it comes to stocko's)

mr Tonka

iam up 4 a run so tell use wen we all can play

HOON69

Ormeau will more then likely be the first trip Organised for me

we also have
CityView 4x4 park @ beaudesert
Kuraby
Beenleigh
ReedyCreek
and there ae others like Springfield,glasshouse Mt's etc

these will be spanned out over the coming months to allow time for ppl to atten,fix or make other plans etc


Ormeau will have a date as soon as EATU4T pick locks his ball and chain :happy:

neil_se

I'm very keen for some moderate tracks in my Cherokee during August/September. Hopefully another 2" lift, MT tyres and maybe swaybar disconnects will be on the cards soonish.

HOON69

Reedy Ceek or Ormeau fella,you'll need to post pics of yours ay

synergy

im up for anything cept ormeau

HOON69

im sure there'll be plenty of tracks trips to cater for all.
you know Ormeau has chicken tracks dont you

EATU4T

its a pootrol thing mate, lol..



im trying, everytime i get it off, she puts a bigger lock on. lol




whats wrong with ormeau??



ormeau's sketchy in anything, unlees you drive a purpose built rock crawler, and even then you have to be carefull, but shiting your self is half the fun.

HOON69

I've driven Ormeau in a POS V6 Pajero with 2 inch lift and 31 AT's and it suprised alot of ppl,they told me i'd need to go around etc yet i followed and managed all but 2 climbs which btw claimed a few who couldnt do it in higher vehicles.

as long as you pick the right line and dont push the limit of you or vehicle too hard you can do 90% of Ormeau with little to no damage

so when you ready to head out fella

EATU4T

bloody soon i hope. trucks having the locker and crawlers fitted all next week, then im working next weekend. so im hoping within the next 2-3 weeks ill be able to get out for a day.

ill probably head into ormeau on my weekend off just for an hour or two to test out the new toys, but thatll be it till i can get away.
im trying to find a weekend that beau (LIFTED) can come along too, its bloody hard, cause hes always so damn busy.

HOON69

was going to make a trip to reedy creek this weekend but might go to kuraby or beenleigh instead,then leave ormeau till your ready

if you do go out let me know i might just tag along to test mine out whilst im at it

HOON69

just realised i have a 4wd meet elsewhere weekend of 20-22 july
we'll do ormeau when your free fella,and make futher trips for after that

EATU4T

sounds like a plan mate. ill let you know when i head out for a few hours next..
like i said, it will probably be 3 weekends from now.

high_luxed

sounds good count me up for some of them. be good to give it a bit of a heavy bush thrash

HOON69

depends what you wanna do

if you wanna climb hard hills or steep hills,we'll do Ormeau

if you want a mixture of wet,mud,sand,climbs etc that are like ormeau but not as hardcore then reedy creek is the go

if you want mud pac pines

if you want simple but some good rock climbs etc kuraby is the go

beenleigh is a mixture of all the above

CITYVIEW:will be doing this next month,will invite a few forums etc and make it a good days driving(none of this stop and chat half the damn day either)

up to you'll really.

high_luxed

hell yeh ate sounds good.


I am the first to admit i havnt done rock climbs b4.... but i may give that a miss as the other half most likly will be with me sooo another day when she wont be in the 4x4 to see wat happens to it.. lol anything else i am up for...

HOON69

the rocks aint huge buggers not all of em anyways,more like steps ups
a jeep could do em so you'd have no worries

EATU4T

rock crawling is fun :happy:
but playing in the mud is better :happy: :happy:

HOON69

dont talk to me about MUD

NEW:
alternator>>>>check
Starter>>>>check
Battery>>>>check

after my last vehicle i thought i'd learnt my lesson after doing

3 starters
1 altenator and f'n the bushes etc

this time im staying clear of dirty water (to a extent)

EATU4T

its not the water doing it hoon, its simply cause the parts on your truck all say nissan. lol
should of bought a cruiser, lol.

HOON69

yeah yeah of course,i should of known

ANYWAYS i get mine back shortly pics coming soon

will also have a thread on 4wd day soon also.

jeffo89

i am looking at getting about a 3" lift for my 98 hilux and was wondering what the best way to raise it would be and the cheapest place to buy lift kits from....pm me with details if its easier

HOON69

ebay is the cheapest

or try the 4wd websites is another place also

EATU4T

is you truck solid front, or ifs??

give beau at automotive satisfaction a call, he ca do it cheaper than anywhere else imo.

where abouts you from, that might help too

jeffo89

it has ifs. i could get it installed myself so i just want to buy the kit. im from ipswich.

EATU4T

try snake racing, i think they do a whole kit for the luxs, but they arnt cheap, but imo they are the best..

otherwise consult your nearest arb store or any 4x4 store, and ask them what they think.

Mate The best prices I have found while recently redoing mine were these three places.
Zordo off 4wd Monthly, local guy does it as a sideline.
Complete 4x4 in Browns Plains gave me a fantastic price on EFS
I ended up using Fourbys at Moorooka as I know Ryano and I have got a lot of gear off him in the past, if not for that I would have gone to Complete 4x4 without doubt.

I went Tough Dog but I would have been just as happy with EFS, I know people with both and got great feedback on both.

booflux

Couple of pics of mine painted up, not the best pics as it was getting dark but it gives the idea. Should be heading out Saturday with a few mates so hopefully have some pics of it getting some fresh scratches next week.
