yeah from what i've seen it's a gutsy section. 8-) its an odd track. fairley lony uphill run with various 'sections' to negotiate. the only really gnarley bit it 'tree root' whish is a step up over a tree root with a fair dougout before it and claims a lot of trucks because its on a 45-50 degree se...

lucky prick being so close to Yalwal... go hit up stage 6 for me. :word: 6 stage came up in conversation today actually. theres a few nice rocky climbs out there. i need either a front locker or softer more flexable springs before i hit up 6 stage again though considering what lines i had to take t...

yalwal short trip from today mates 60 series diesel with 2 inch spring lift, trimmed guards and 38's http://i93.photobucket.com/albums/l64/bozwon/IMG_6213_zpse718095a.jpg http://i93.photobucket.com/albums/l64/bozwon/IMG_6214_zps843cba52.jpg http://i93.photobucket.com/albums/l64/bozwon/IMG_6216_zpsd4...

a nice gunmetal/charcoal grey with that minty green you painted the R32 wheels would look sharp as fark. leather would be nice but probably not worth it on a 4wd & i reckon vinyl would be sweaty bawls material in summer. i've always wanted to do a canvas interior similar to swag material in a 4...

atari4x4 wrote:that's right, you've got a mate that's pretty deadly with a sowing machine.

yeah. i just gotta decide what color and material i want to go with. will either be vinal or leather. most likely grey but i may go with a mint green (outside will be grey with green wheels/barwork)

The recaroes look pretty similar to the s14 seats in the pic. I'll be getting them retrieved once there in so I may add a little extra bolstering etc when that's getting done

fuck yeah 8-) http://www.sheatherbros.com.au/Auszookers/finished1.jpg http://www.sheatherbros.com.au/Auszookers/finished2.jpg http://www.sheatherbros.com.au/Auszookers/IMG_0631.JPG i was considering putting a pair of brides in the patrol but a mate donated a pair of s14 seats instead. might get to ...

there are plenty of small rocks around so a bit of track building could be done, will have to have a suss or even just go down the rocks where the creek crosses under the road.

arnt you running 33's?

atari4x4 wrote::( that's fucked, thanks for the pics wags.

the first pic looks like i'd be able to adjust the small left hand rock & squeeze through over the dead log/scrub.

or go over the two right hand side rocks. they dont look to big from the pics

same. rocks and trails is where its at. if i just wanted to floor it id build a drag car

if your gonna fuck it you may as well fuck it well

ahh. makes sence now that pics up. obviously travelling along, uni/yoke has let go and the shaft has flung around due to being moved by the wheels and has smashed the shifter housing off and presumabley the tunnel and anything else in its way

noise indeed

thats awesome!!!

a mate of mine is re rebuilding his 100/105 (its live axle. i forget which it is) 4.5 petrol, had a xr6 turbo previously but is going bigger this time round, built auto, liquid gas etc. was 450hp at the tyres before, is building it for something like 1000 hp (engine) this time round. damn thing was ...

the rear recovery hook is a good idea & having a single draw bar will help manoeuvring it as you'll be able to jack knife the shit out of it. i've heard of people using the IRS set up from a commy for a cheap & nasty way to do it. i run this style as i wanted to be able to open the tail gat...

if you got deep pockets theres always the new cruiser dual cabs, or get a patrol and chop the back off

d22

also do you rock a standard towball setup?

nice write up. consideded the refirb/plate swap option, just looking around to see whats available if i go from scratch i can build it exactly the way i want (deep sides etc) if i refirb im worried it will fall to pieces as yalwal has a fair bit of corrogations on the way out and some rough rock hil...

Biggest drama starting from scratch is getting it regoed at the end. But I will look into it I think as I spoke to the wife and she's keen 4 me to build a camper instead of another track car as the kids love going off road.

it's awesome fun, adds another dimension to wheeling as you've got to think about it that little bit more. mine was just a box trailer that i gave a birthday. it's a 5x3.5". the roof top tents when packed up are 5x4" & can be had off ebay for around $600-700. takes me about 5 minutes ...

hows offroading with the trailer atari? ive been thinking about building one for a bit of extra challenge locally and to take camping etc later down the track. was just thinkin cheap box trailer. redo the suspension and tow hitch, 31' muddies (i have a pair here) and eventually a camper canopy deall...

thats a pretty crazy comparisan

id be much more worried about the distance than the fires. thats just an easy method to preheat before welding
