Not yet... Its still driving fine but gets warm on the long hills, am stealing my olds wagon to tow the boat down to Wanaka and in a couple of weeks and gonna get it fixed when i get back.... The biggest pisser is that my $ stash for the roar has just been re allocated so hunting has been put on the backburner for the best month of the year!!! Lucky we are buizy at work and i have canceled a heap of time off .Weekends only!
Make sure you get heaps of Photos of the trip for me.

what wagon you got two shot?? 1kzte??

Yea.... in a 96 EX Prado

2 Shot gotta a 7.5 degree cast alloy spacer for the jet. Fit this weekend try next. $35.00 Rakaia Marine theres a man who knows his stuff on the old bits has heaps of them (Dunno why)
Shame you out for the run. Steak sammies and beers available for lunch this time ... Lo al of course .. Cheers

Fark... Cheap as... see if he has a couple of 2.5deg as well and you can play with more angles to see what works best for your boat..
Yea i would have been keen on another cruise. How do you find these days out??
Ive started looking for a cheap shitter to drive to work and back in. Was part of the plan anyways this winter to give the cruiser a rest on the big kms. I do about 70km per day just to get to work and back. then i can give the wagon a big birthday over winter.
Have a good weekend Happy!

We had a great drive on saturday it was much better than I had been expecting.Great tracks even if some of the gates were a tad narrow for the old white whale and some of the corners required a 5 point turn to get around them, we survived without a scratch.We met Happy and his wife [good bastards]getting to grips with there 4x4 and learning just how capable all those electronics can make it. But the gorse may have left the odd scratch in the flash yellow paint.

Good trip. John your attachments pics dont work. Sorry dont know why. Not a scratch on it it. You d never know we d been out any where. 1/2 hour water blast job done.

Heres a few pics. Some of it was easy and some was a little difficult. Only cos it was a bloody long way down. If you got it wrong .







Yep pretty dry up there. Some grass though as this guy lowered his stock levels before the drought. (Dry stock)



About as high as you can go here ...







Great day with food and bar at the end and I beleive thay had 350 + motor bikes on the Sunday so the school would have done well out of the weekend.
Good buggers letting everyone use their farms with all funds going to the local school. Some of the crew spent the whole previous week working up there
sign posting , mowing, a little bit of grading etc ...
