The lux saves the day haha

So last night I'm on facebook at around 9 o'clock n see a post from a fella I knew from school, along the lines of " out sunnyside lane 2 cars stuck 1 stopped running anyone with a decent 4wd come help " as all good 4wders do I offer to lend a hand...

Make the 20min trip out there only to find..... Yes you guessed it a Nissan navara and a mitsubishi triton on their bellys in a severely rutted out clay slosh pit. I found out another triton had attempted to get in there moments before with no success so I took the plunge and headed in near missing a bit of panel damage on trees etc and managed to free the navara and he continued out on his own steam... The triton on the other Hand wouldnt even fire ( fook knows what hed done and by this time it was 10.30 and I wasn't playin bush mechanics at this time ) so I managed to skull drag him out about 400m to the gravel entry track, then proceeded to tow him 5k back to his house by this time it was about midnight and I was severely ready for
bed haha

Here's a few photos so ya get the idea











Also I've had the rear window replaced and the dint fixed from the last inicident on the same track... Really happy with the work of the panel beaters

Nice work Kirk. Karma will be good to you now

good old non reliable triton well done Kirk, showing what hilux's can really do

Mate they are Singo boys so it's a local fun spot and apparently they had been out their stuck since 6pm...


On another note I sold my current arb bar to the old man as he just bought an 08 lux and ordered myself an arb winch bar and brushbars/steps... Pity I won't see them till April and in the meantime I'll be saving for a rekon kit and might pick myself a arb compressor somewhere in the pipeline...

And maybe I'll pull my finger out and finish my tray too.. It's all coming together slowly

Rekon will be mint... Bar and brushbars combo will be good too

Hope so mate.. It'll get there Eventually.. Getting it ready for the cape next July

Nice i was meant to do a trip to the cape mid last year... Bought a drz400 especially to do it but had heaps of work come up and couldnt do it. Would be alot more comfortable on a ute haha.

Went down to Newcastle today to pick up the missus colorado... Pulled into arb to check out sone gear n somehow walked out with a compressor wierd that haha had a look at the arb wiring harness that came with it n decided I'm gunna make a new one with conduit and use a circuit breaker instead of a big ass maxi fuse

Here is where I mounted it.. Still gotta wire it up

Nice one, thats the best spot to put them too, although a bit tricky

Had a bit of time this Arvo and finished the compressor wiring etc.. Made my own harness instead of the arb one, used a 40amp auto reset instead of the gay ass maxi fuse that comes with it...

See how this bad boy ( or girl by the looks of it ) goes tomorrow when I get it back..

Replaced with exedy heavy duty sports..

very nice mate! good choice on the clutch

so when those other 2 rocker switches going in next to the compressor switch??
