Quite an interesting rig

Obviously got the mad jungle winch.

It's got independent brakes on the rear at least

I notice the engine got a bit grumpy about being thrown around on angles two or three times, is it carbed as opposed to EFI?? Jungle proofness again I suppose??

Looks like a good mix of Suzuki and Toyota and what ever else looked useful.

I am now going to go hole saw holes in the blade of my ground anchor. What a bloody good idea, never thought of that!!!!

By the way, totally fawkn envious

Yeah its a cool machine. Runs sweet on angles just has very little exhaust and doesnt like low revs. Its running an sr20det with a tuned microtech ecu.

Its running twin god winches, twin locked, 35s, yota diffs all round.

Light is the key over there. No one runs beadlocks and no one airs down

Custom god winch, they either run 12mm steel rope or 16mm dyneema its crazy.

Yeah not much different to NZ really. Both brands are very dominant. Both brands are also made there so just down to choice really.

Apparently some guy called Caleb contacted me on FB and asked for some beds since he was crewing for Mervyn (Car 129) since I knew Mervyn and see Calebs NIssan pics on FB I agreed to lend them the BEDS (actually I gave them 3 in case they busted 1 and 2 NETS and 2 sleeping bags).


I got the beds dropped to the Hotel the night before the prologue started as that night I was supposed to go visit them the HEART decided to misfire badly resulting me in going home instead and sleeping by 8PM instead.

Too busy to go to the RFC this year and I am resting my heart anyway.

After the RFC I organize to met his Caleb fellow and mrs caleb and get my beds back. So we all meet up in a bar for an evening of drinking and I collect a box of PEANUT slabs and some beer and two LED light to be fitted to my Volvo (wow so cool thanks) for supplying the kit. The PEANUT slabs are delicious and my WIFE is laying claim to them lol.

If Caleb thought the river they was at was nice he needs to come over for a real trip lol.

Anyway looks like I have to go to RFC 2015 to see these two again. If my heart recovers I may be competing.



Hey why your pics not showing.

[Filthy4x4]

Pics work fine for me

Thats the most well travelled box of peanut slabs and speights in history.

Definately keen to come over for a real trip at some point

Was good catching up with you, cant wait for next year, keep resting that heart, dont eat all the chocolate at once lol.
