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

dune coons

pics of scrub rock as of today

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.

i was thinking about that also, there is a slight drop there from the burnt out tree root
only other idea was to roll that rock down in the third pic, would make getting out a little more interesting

dry as a bone up there atm

will probably wait till the fire season finishes up before going in to make some adjustments late one arvo/early evening...

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

said the guy with 35" tyres, i've got girly little wheels

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.

ive been looking at a narva or hella (cant remember exactly) one through work. around $300 for a 500mm one. unsure how the cheap ones perform/last

few crew i know have been running them for over 12 months without a problem apart from the anodising fading a bit.

whats the light output from them like though. i want something good for about a 100m spread

this one is a combo that's spit into 3rds so it's got reasonable depth & a fair bit of spread http://www.hanma-auto.com/products/deta ... t-bar-120w

WTF. why take a perfectly ugly and useless car and make it into an ugly and useless 4x4

you could glue 1000 black dildo's to a Lada Niva & it still wouldn't be as gay as that thing.

fuck yeah

i was considering putting a pair of brides in the patrol but a mate donated a pair of s14 seats instead. might get to fit them one weekend soon i hope. there pretty comfy

that ute is full of jap goodness, tall skinny maxxis creepys from japland, origin wheels & a heap of other cool bits from the slopes.

i reckon those brides would be borderline too deep for a lifted 4wd, you'd end up sack tapping yourself every time you get in & out.

i ran one of my momo fixed backs for a while, it was nice once in there but fucked getting in & out.


the recaro's i have currently are perfect, just enough support but not too much.

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

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)

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 4wd but in a grey colour, could do that with minty green inserts/stitching. would be hard wearing + breathable.

have grey paint here already thats essentially like glossy primer. and exactly the green i painted the 4 door wheels

i've seen a dark coloured sierra with bright cyan blue coloured wheels & as gay as it sounds it looked sweet.
