dont you love that balancing feeling where you are wondering will it go this way or that. It seems to take several minutes to make up its mind but its probably less than a second

The bigger the tyre, the more weight you have to turn around, I don't think it gets better, it may feel like it when your speedo reads under for mileage.

i get about 14-15l to 100km, its the hills that are the killer kos it higher gear when you put bigger tyres on, might be different if it was manual.

will have a vid after woodhill, going ther on the 29th nxt month

Went up north on saturday with afew mates, got through the gumfields Ahipara and then headed down the beach to afew hill climb tracks heading on round to herekino, I Ended up brakeking my first tie rod, did a good job of it to haha, had to take one of the bikes back round the beach and to a mates farm to weld it up.
you can see on the last clip, my weels wobbling, nt shure if that weakened the tierod but one broke a little after that.
Was a awsome day.

Nice tow wagon, could definately see that wobble, the next couple of hits wouldn't have helped it either. I must get up there again and bring the truck this time, the mrs wasn't too happy when I started looking at the trails in her imprezza

Some great looking tracks and your Bighorn seemed to handle them very well. Nice.

Hey bro. That looked like good fun. Definately next time I will be there. I just need to get this dam Lada gone minght end up $1 reserving it just to move it along but we will see.

I wonder how that track will be now considering Kaitaia 4WD club went through the next day for track clearing.

Your truck looked like it went through piece of cake.
