Landcruiser Park

[bungie]

Was up at Landcruiser Park over the week end. This was a first for me.
Have some videos of a couple of the boys, moving others up to youtube over the next day or so.

ha ha, once again lower tyre pressure, some better tyres and a front locker and he could just crawl up that hill. Good to see you having some fun bungie!!! How do ya think your hilux will go?? And drop me a line if you still need your front fixed up!!

That does look like fun. I am going to have to get out there soon!! Haven't been to cruiser park yet but want to try the lux out on some of those harder climbs.

Brett, those are just side tracks. You'd really hate your 'lux if you tried some of the 'harder' climbs. The running gear just isn't far enough off the ground for that.

But if you want to try something like the claw (not claw gorge), I've got a whole crew only too happy to drink beer and cheer you on .

That is the problem with newer 4bies, you can't get BIG rubber underneath. 32's are the biggest I can go without a body lift or the Snake Racing 4in lift kit. Even then it's 33's max.

I've still got the OEM alloy side steps on, so if I bend them that just means I get my rock sliders earlier!! The missus and kids need steps to get into the ute with.

The lockers make up for a lot of the shortfalls with the new 'lux, but ground clearance will allways be an issue. Now if I can only get a new ute for the boys I can start hacking into the 93 hilux I've got at work. Lexus V8, auto, coil spring conversion, 38's or more... now I'm just drooling.

[BenDover]

Yeah, im thinking of doing the same Brett. Getting an old basher and getting the grinder out!!! Ill make a good 4bie but i want mind if i smash it up either. Funny enough i just put coil springs and a 3 link on my boat trailer .

All previous issues aside, Brett, I'm still keen to have a run to Cruiser Park. Maybe I'll get to see some of it other than the Pig Pen.

Had a ball in the Hilux, I’m chasing the other boys trying to find some footage of me playing silly buggers. If I find some I will post it up here so folks can have a laugh at me
It was great to have some blokes who knew what to do and give advice; I had the ute in places I had problems walking
Looking at the map of Landcruiser Park now trying to work out were we went, I now we did Jim's jump up as I got to with in about ten feet of the top, just could not get over a large hole. I think the other must have been the club rally circuit as we went through the Pig pen to get to Jim's.

[BenDover]

What colour is your hilux?? The pig pen stains lots of trucks hey!!

[bungie]

I stayed out of the pen, but as we came into the area a dual cab Rodeo (I think) had just driven sideways up a small mound and then opened his doors to empty out the muddy water because he didn't check the depth first, poor sodd looked like a right mess.

[finding_time]

Yep i reckon it's the top of the first run on the club rally circuit The only problem identifying them is one weekend to the next there never the same. all i takes is a bit of wet and 1 4x4 club and the run changes forever.


I still reckon a trip to levuka is the go. plenty of area's to test the vehicles but MUCH nicer camping.

Man you guy in that GQ must either run a CV shop, or you just really hate your bank balance... cos i watched that movie waiting to hear one go pop.

Lockers really make all the difference, you could have walked that hill all locked up... infact with a rear in you could have probably even left the front unlocked.

I'd be keen as mustard to do a trip to Cruiser/Rover/Levuka... Rover has really good facilities.

You could be waiting awhile I think even the toyota's boys would agree , when it comes to drive train the nissans are the king!!


Agree on the lockers though you would only need the rear.

Nope, all it cost him was his battery, acid everywhere.
