I reckon put it in the Garage for now and if we get enough people wanting to put up their 4wds we can put a "members ride" section in here.

It is a very regretful sale but im eying off another comp truck and i can't keep both.
This Sierra is ready to compete. Turn the key and with a good driver you could win Willowglen or Toperi.
It is engineered in NSW for all the mods except for the turbo motor. The engineers covers the 37 inch tyres.

The motor runs well and has a bucket load of power.
Gearbox3sp Auto. Had a high clearance crossmember and is cooled through the rear mount radiator. The auto leaks oil when left sitting. I havn't got around to fixing it yet. Drives well otherwise. The vacuum isnt hooked so it shifts hard.

sweet abandoned rape shack, you guys must come across some awesome abandoned shit out in the middle of buttfuck nowhere.
also that trailer is sweet ass lol
Posted: 13 Jan 2013, 22:01
by atari4x4
cheers judy, that trailer i knocked up last year cost me just under 2k to put together minus the wheels & tyres that i had... it's just so plush to sleep in, think i will struggle sleeping in a swag again.
that rape shack had nothing on the rape bus we found & all the other rape villages tucked away the whole way along the river... we turned down so many tracks that looked like they ran down to the river & maybe a campsite, they all had rape flavoured shanty towns dotted along the river, rape caravans, rape sheds even a fun rapey looking long drop.
rape bus was by far the most shifty looking thing we've came across for a while & we've seen some shit over the years. the 3 of us all said even if there was a campsite nearby we weren't staying there. didn't get a pic as we had to get the fuck out of dodge... fast, shit just felt wrong. pretty sure it would have been surprise buttseks in the middle of the night if we set up camp there.
heaps of interesting shit kicking around & always entertaining when well baked. was hoping to come across a crop of bush bud, couple more months & you'd be able to follow the smell for sure... there HAS to be a few plantations out there. nice soil, heaps of available free water from the river & some of these spots see virtually zero traffic going by the tracks we were on.
i pinned a GPS waypoint on the other side of the river where rape bus was. belting along a goat track i spotted a XA/XB Falcon GT bonnet just propped up against a tree on the side of the track, yellow/black GT strips with bonnet pins & all the vents still intact. miles away from the ocean so it should be pretty rust free, i know a few falcoon freaks so will pass it on. gotta be worth $250 without trying, could be easy money for Mr Rapey McFarmer.

Atari, Have you driven a car with IFS with out sway bars on the road? Did it feel like puss? Run into any problames with it?
Posted: 14 Jan 2013, 12:18
by atari4x4
yeah both my Vitara's are IFS & both have had no swaybars refitted once lifted... they kind of handle like a drunken horse, you point them in the right direction, they sort of turn, lean, pitch & roll all at the same time. sometimes it feels i could drag my fingers on the road if i lent out the window.
can take a bit to get used to, give it a shot... should only be 6-8 bolts & it's orrfff.
not sure on the design of the swaybar links on the rodeo's but you could knock up a swaybar disconnect & just un pin it offroad & hook it up out of the way with a bit of bungy cord.

Yeh I havent been able to find disconnects. What would be involved in making them? Theres a few rodeos up here that'd want em.
Posted: 14 Jan 2013, 12:50
by atari4x4
few different ways of doing them, just punch in swaybar disconnects into le google images for ideas
